Patent ID: 8739399

Claim:
Method of making an electronic storage system, the method comprising: receiving a substrate; receiving a transceiver including a transceiver substrate separate from the substrate, an output electrical-connection pad, and a plurality of input electrical-connection pads; receiving a circuit template separate from the substrate and from the transceiver, the circuit template including patterned conductive material forming a plurality of conductors; a transceiver-disposing step of disposing the transceiver over the substrate; a template-disposing step of disposing the circuit template over the substrate so that at least one of the plurality of conductors of the circuit template is electrically connected to the output electrical-connection pad and at least one of the plurality of conductors of the circuit template is electrically connected to each of the plurality of input electrical-connection pads; and printing at least one electrically-conductive strap on the substrate or circuit template so that each strap electrically connects the output electrical-connection pad to the at least one of the plurality of input electrical-connection pads through at least two of the plurality of conductors of the circuit template and leaving at least one open site between conductors; and wherein at least one of the plurality of conductors has an environmentally modifiable electrical state.
