Abstract:
1. A replicate for application to a blister package containing a plurality of articles, each in an individual blister such that each such article can be projected through a corresponding portion of the package and the replicate for removal from the package, said replicate including a frangible backing sheet, an integrated circuit on said backing sheet, a power source for the integrated circuit, means for attaching said replicate to said package, and a plurality of individual electrically conductive traces on said backing sheet, said traces defining a grid pattern of intersecting sets of parallel such traces, said traces being positioned on said backing sheet so that more than one thereof will intersect each of said blisters when said replicate is attached to said package, said intersecting sets of traces being connected to said integrated circuit, whereby when an article is projected from its blister through said replicate the corresponding traces are broken, so as to define an event that can be recorded by said integrated circuit.
