Application 09/812,302
9. When termites are detected, toxins are delivered separately, or the
sensors can be modified with added toxic delivery devices (col. 7, ll.
47-55). Specifically, Su discloses that in addition to the practice of
replacing monitoring devices with toxicant delivery devices, another
embodiment of the invention comprises a monitoring device which
remains in place and a toxicant delivery device which can be added to,
or fitted around, the monitoring device if the need arises to deliver
toxicant (col. 7, ll. 50-55).
10. Zimmermann discloses interrogation of marking devices using a
hand-held device (Abstract; col. 4, ll. 56-68).
11. Lowe provides an RF identification system wherein an ID code
reader is provided and an RF identification tag is coupled to the item
that is to be monitored and the ID code reader queries the tag. The tag
comprises two RF transponder chips that store data relating to the
item, and an excitation coil coupled thereto (Abstract). An ID code
reader queries the RF identification tag 11 using RF signal (col. 3, ll.
3-7, 9-12, 50-56).
12. Allen discloses that in the case where a temperature, pressure, or
other physical reading of an environment is measured from a sensor
mounted to a mobile structure such as a turbine blade or other
moveable apparatus, chamber or vessel, the wire leads connected to
traditional sensors may interfere with the operation of the particular
mobile structure (col. 2, ll. 8-15).
13. Allen further provides for a sensor with combined pressure and
temperature sensing mechanisms (Figure 9; col. 11, ll. 56-65).
