Claim Text:
1. A device, comprising: a integrated circuit component; a partial power source comprising: a signal amplification element secured around the integrated circuit component and positioned relative to the first and second materials, wherein the signal amplification element is configured to facilitate extension of a path of a current flow between the first material and the second material; a modulator associated with the integrated circuit component and electrically connected to the first material and the second material, wherein the modulator is configured to control conductance between the first material and the second material to generate a detectable signal, wherein the detectable signal is at least partially defined by the current flow that extends through the conductive fluid; at least one communication module coupled to the partial power source, wherein the at least one communication module is configured to communicate with a receiver; and an antenna electrically coupled to the at least one communication module, wherein the at least one communication module uses the antenna to communicate with the receiver.
