Integrating the energy source into a micro-chip is arguably the first challenge to confront. The device must pack sufficient energy into a small volume of space to yield operational lives on the order ...

MicroStrain Inc, a Williston, Vt.- based producer of wireless sensing instruments, including microprocessor-based, multichannel, programmable transmitters, has a vision. The researchers there are ...

Self-powered sensor Using this design framework, they built an energy management circuit for an off-the-shelf temperature sensor. The device harvests magnetic field energy and uses it to continually ...

A major challenge in self-powered wearable sensors for health care monitoring is distinguishing different signals when they ...

Engineering researchers have developed a battery-free, pill-shaped ingestible biosensing system designed to provide continuous monitoring in the intestinal environment. It gives scientists the ability ...

The Sun God has been frowning on humanity for quite some time now as we continue to make little use of his gift that keeps givingsolar energy. But EnOcean Inc. gives him a reason to smile with its ...

Design and principle of Fibre-WBAN. (a) Current von Neumann architecture textile-integrated body sensor networks. (b) Our single-fibre-enabled, self-powered wireless sensor network (Fibre-WBAN). (c) ...

Sensors networks are gaining widespread use in factories, industrial complexes, commercial and residential buildings, agricultural settings, and urban areas, serving to improve manufacturing ...

Because it requires no battery that must be recharged or replaced, and because it requires no special wiring, such a sensor could be embedded in a hard-to-reach place, like inside the inner workings ...
