The posting from the Vancouver Sun sounds a lot like the medical scanners
mentioned in Arthur C. Clarke's latest (RAMA II) except that they were
not availble until the year 2190 or so.. I imagine that this patent is
for a theoretical device though since present ULSI technology would be
hard pressed to put a pH meter coupled with a radio transmitter on a 
21 micron square device and also power it.
