    Abstract: Apparatuses for use with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The apparatus can include a partial power source, which in turn includes electrodes or materials that are configured to generate an electrical potential upon contacting or being exposed to an ionic solution. The apparatus can further include a circuit electrically or communicatively coupled to the partial power source. The circuit can generate various types of signals, such as RF signals, when powered by the partial power source. The circuit is stably fittable to the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The apparatus can further include a barrier, a protective layer, or a membrane that isolates the electrodes or materials from the ionic solution and is configured to be dissolved by the ionic solution.
