- FIG. 8 is shown in side view a fifth preferred embodiment of a memory device mounted on a support according to FIG. 7 with a detachable cover, in order to be able to temporarily cover the memory device.
- This detachable cover 13 is for example metallic or plastic.
- the detachable cover 13 has a circular symmetry and is arranged in such a way as to be able to contain the memory device almost completely while being easily detachable.
- Said memory device is miniaturized robust, independently and universally usable and is mounted using the housing 1 on a large sample of various supports 8.
- the fact that the detachable cover 13 can cover a memory device results in at least two advantages:
- the memory device can be concealed almost completely with this detachable cover 13.
- the memory device thus concealed may contain information relating to an object in which it is incorporated or to a person carrying the object. This information can give indications as to the provenance or the belonging of the object or the person. This information can also give indications as to the identity or the state of the object or the person.
- the memory device can be provided with an additive protection with this detachable cover 13. This additive protection can be of great importance, for example when using the memory device as an indicator incorporated in memory cards. printed circuits during their production process. In this indicator function, the device can keep information relating to the state of these printed cards during their production process. Additional protection is necessary, since the production of printed boards also includes passages of the device in hostile environments, for example during component welding operations, wave welding, passage through the oven, etc.
- the detachable cover 13 can easily be detached to access the memory device.
- the invention therefore claims the use of an electronic memory device, characterized in that said memory device is incorporated in a printed circuit board as a support 8, that said memory device is accessible for writing / reading and to the power supply, so that said memory device keeps information relating to the state of these printed cards during their production processes and during their future use.
- FIG. 9 is shown in lateral view (on the left) and in elevation (on the right) a first preferred embodiment of a memory device mounted on a support according to FIG. 6 with a detachable ad hoc clamp 10, in order to be able to temporarily cover the memory device.
- This detachable ad hoc clamp 10 is for example metallic or dielectric or plastic.
- the detachable cover 10 has a circular symmetry and is arranged in such a way as to be able to contain the memory device almost completely and to be easily, for example using a detachable incorporated spring function.
- this detachable ad hoc clamp 10 it is similar to that of the detachable cover 13 and we thus refer to the description of the detachable cover 13 according to FIG. 8.
