After all, this switch is wireless, battery-less, energy-harvesting, and parting of the “Internet of Things,” making it one of the most high-tech — and on trend — gadgets at the show. Alpha Micro has introduced an energy-harvesting evaluation kit for autonomous wireless sensors and other sub-100mW applications. Using OPV to power sensors in low ambient light environments – such as public buildings and offices – could have significant impact on reducing the overall cost and environmental impact of heating and ventilation systems.”.

Photovoltaic (OPV) technology developer Solar Press is investigating the potential for flexible plastic based OPV modules to be used as a power source for remote, autonomous sensors within buildings – an 'energy harvesting' application. - pls read on “ Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Sensing Competition Briefing: Register. Student team members from the Virginia Tech's National Science Foundation Center for Energy Harvesting Materials and Systems (CEHMS) test a 5-foot wide jellyfish-like robot under water at War Memorial Hall. Cardiff, Wales - November 14, 2011 - G24i Power Limited (G24i), the global leader in the indoor recycling of light to electricity, has further enhanced its energy harvesting applications by combining their Dye-Sensitised Cell (DSC) G24i is collaborating with over 40 Global OEMs to bring to market a new family of autonomous, self powering, energy efficient electronic devices such as remote controls, wireless keyboards, sensors, ePaper displays, mobile telephones and GPS systems. Examples of wireless sensor networks include remote applications like irrigation valve control, building energy management, machine monitoring systems, asset tracking, biometric security systems, medical applications, and a myriad “When combined with ambient energy harvesting, MECs uniquely enable autonomous, perpetually powered solutions for decades of use,” explained David Squires, Vice President of Business Development for Infinite Power Solutions. The experimental results demonstrate the capability of the system to autonomously perform temperature data logging up to a distance of 5 m from a conventional UHF RFID reader used as an RF energy source. Cymbet and Konarka Demonstrate Advanced Solar Energy Harvesting for Autonomous Sensors. Battery maintenance, so far preventing wireless monitoring sensor networks from really taking off, can be eliminated by TGP-enabled autonomous DC power modules whenever a temperature difference of 5°C or more is available. Virginia Tech College of Engineering researchers have unveiled a life-like, autonomous robotic jellyfish the size and weight of a grown man, 5 foot 7 inches in length and weighing 170 pounds. Thermoelectric thin-film micro devices have high demand in micro-systems for waste-energy harvesting self-powered battery-less wireless sensor systems for wireless data transfer.
