Ok
this particular device is no longer used by Intel
but it is interesting, so i'll outline it.
This is a Porcelain encapsulated device, black in color , about the size and shape of a large ovoid vitamin pill.
In the old days, these would be dropped into a vehicles Gas tank.
These were transponders for tracking a vehicle.
You could tell if one was in your tank sometimes, because they would cause your gas gauge to read higher, so you would run out of gas when your gauge read that the tank was still a quarter full or so.
I found one of these in my vehicles gas tank back in 1973, had no clue at that time what it was.
By the time i was given the info on it, the device was out-moded and retired out of service.
