Claim 12:
13. A method of outputting a signal from an RFID tag, the method comprising:
receiving, via a conductor in electrical proximity with the RFID tag, electrical energy from an external power source;
storing, via an electrical storing device, electrical energy; and
outputting, from the RFID tag, a signal, wherein the signal is output independent of the RFID receiving electrical energy from the external power source;
wherein the electrical storage device includes a capacitor and a battery arranged in series with one another with the capacitor connected between the RFID tag and the battery, wherein the external power source is configured to provide electrical energy to the battery to charge the battery and the capacitor, and wherein the capacitor is configured to discharge to the battery when the battery loses power.
