Abstract
A method of communicating information between a host device and a potentially portable module device which measures thermal accumulation over time via a temperature controlled counter. The temperature controlled counter may operate using substantially Arrhenius' law. The host device communicates with the portable module via a single wire bidirectional data bus. The single wire bus and one-wire communication protocol allows data flow between a host and a plurality of devices connected to the single wire bus. The single wire bus allows for a great versatility of uses for the portable module.
