Patent number: 11555826Abstract: An impact indicator includes a housing configured to enable movement of a mass member from a first position to a second position in response to receipt by the housing of an acceleration event. The indicator also includes switch circuitry having a compressible switch element positionable between spaced apart contacts where the switch element is configured to be in spaced apart relationship to the mass member. A passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) module is coupled to the switch circuitry and, responsive to movement of the mass member from the first position to the second position, the mass member causes a positional change of the switch element relative to the first and second contacts, and the positional change causes a state change in the switch circuitry. The RFID module outputs a value based on the state of the switch circuitry when energized.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2022Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: ShockWatch, Inc.Inventors: Anthony N. Fonk, Aldric Lee

Publication number: 20220180139Abstract: A temperature indicator includes a first element, a second element, and circuitry configured to detect whether the first element is in an open circuit condition or a closed circuit condition relative to a contact. Responsive to the indicator being subjected to a temperature exceeding a threshold, the second element changes in a size thereof to cause a change in engagement between the first element and the contact. The circuitry is configured to output a value based on whether the first element and the contact are in the open circuit condition or the closed circuit condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2022Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Anthony N.
