Abstract: Sensors and systems for detecting predetermined environmental conditions or changes may include a device capable of providing information. The device may include either a shield or reconfigurable antenna. For example, in a first condition, a shield is configured to prevent communications with the device and, in a second condition, the shield is configured to enable communications with the device. Alternately, in a first condition, a reconfigurable antenna is configured to enable communications with the device and in a second condition the reconfigurable antenna is configured to prevent communications with the device. The shield or reconfigurable antenna may be configured to transition from first conditions to second conditions upon exposure to a predetermined environmental condition or change.

Abstract: Sensors and systems for detecting predetermined environmental conditions or changes may include a device capable of storing, representing, or providing information, and a shield. The shield may be disposed proximate the device. The shield may have a first condition and a second condition. In the first condition the shield is configured to prevent access to information stored in or on, represented by or provided by the device. In the second condition the shield is configured to permit access to information stored in or on, represented by or provided by the device. The shield may be configured to transition from the first condition to the second condition when the shield is exposed to the predetermined environmental condition.

Abstract: A system for simulation of target electronic systems combining interacting elements of hardware and executing software, in part by physical emulation means and in part by abstract software simulation. A processor emulator is coupled to a hardware simulator by a communications link. The processor emulator provides the functionality of the target microprocessor while the hardware simulator simulates additional target circuitry. The processor emulator is coupled to a memory containing the target program. Most computer instructions in the target program do not require interaction with the target circuitry simulated on the hardware simulator. However, when a computer instructions requires the interaction of the target microprocessor and the target circuitry, a communications link control the communication between the target microprocessor and the target circuitry. The various components of the system can be coupled together via a conventional computer network.
