NOVELTY - The device has a processor coupled to a power supply component. A communication component is coupled to the processor. The communication component includes a transmitter transmitting a signal by which the device is located and tracked. The communication component transmits the signal upon receipt of the signal indicating that the device is removed from an electronic equipment (120), where the communication component includes a transceiver (320) receiving signals. The transmitter transmits periodic distress signals to enable determining location of the device without including a receiver.    USE - Unitary energy storage device i.e. battery pack, for a portable electronic equipment e.g. laptop computer, tablet computer, personal data assistant (PDA), smart phone and cellphone.    ADVANTAGE - The device allows a transceiver circuitry including a portable device charging interface interfacing with a portable device charging circuit of the portable device to monitor and maintain energy level of a battery element. The device allows an over-current protection module to limit electrical current flow in a system to a predetermined level so as to ensure safe operation of modules. The device allows an under-voltage protection module to ensure that the controller is not operated under low voltage conditions causing erroneous operation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following:    (1) a component for facilitating integration within an energy storage device    (2) a method for locating an energy storage device    (3) a method for determining whether an energy storage device is removed from a host electronic equipment    (4) a method for fabricating an energy storage device for an electronic equipment    (5) a method for providing an encapsulated and tuned miniature antenna.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a block diagram of a transceiver within an energy storage device and interaction with a portable electronic device.
