Abstract
The present invention is directed to an integrated assembly for gathering information and transferring it to a surface. The assembly comprises a housing, a base resiliently connected to the housing, one or more sensors mounted to sense a parameter and a marker positioned so a mark is produced on the surface when the housing is pressed toward the surface. The marker is capable of marking a plurality of different types of marks. Each type of mark provides different information derived from the sensor. A selector is capable of selecting among the plurality of different type of marks to provide a unique mark specific to a type of information detected.
