Abstract:
In an example, monitoring circuitry ( 307 ) includes a first ( ) and second ( 502 ) coupling, at least one of which is to capacitively couple the monitoring circuitry to a monitored circuit on a product packaging ( 101 ). The monitored circuit has a resistance which is indicative of a status of a product ( 702 ) stored in the product packaging, and the monitored circuit is to be connected in series between the first coupling and the second coupling. The monitoring apparatus ( 300 ) may determine the resistance of the monitored circuit via the first and second couplings.

Claim (Index 4):
Monitoring circuitry according to  claim 2  in which at least one of the first coupling and the second coupling comprises a first, second and third connection element, wherein the first, second and third connection elements are galvanically separated from one another and at least one of the first coupling and the second coupling is to capacitively couple with a common coupling pad of the monitored circuit, and\n the monitoring apparatus is to determine: \n a first capacitance between the first connection element and the second connection element via the common coupling pad, \n a second capacitance between the second connection element and the third connection element via the common coupling pad, and \n a third capacitance between the first connection element and the third connection element via the common coupling pad; \n and to use the first, second and third capacitances to determine a connection capacitance between the coupling and the common coupling pad of the monitored circuit.
