The energy harvesting (EH) from unused natural waste energy sources is common
nowadays because of rising power demand. The sources have the potential of producing …

Sensor networks with battery-powered nodes can seldom simultaneously meet the design
goals of lifetime, cost, sensing reliability and sensing and transmission coverage. Energy …

The emergence of energy harvesting devices creates the potential for batteryless sensing
and computing devices. Such devices operate only intermittently, as energy is available …

Energy harvesting has grown from long-established concepts into devices for powering
ubiquitously deployed sensor networks and mobile electronics. Systems can scavenge …

The maturation of energy-harvesting technology and ultra-low-power computer systems has
led to the advent of intermittently-powered, batteryless devices that operate entirely using …

Power management is an important concern in sensor networks, because a tethered energy
infrastructure is usually not available and an obvious concern is to use the available battery …

Sustainable operation of battery powered wireless embedded systems (such as sensor
nodes) is a key challenge, and considerable research effort has been devoted to energy …

A multifrequency mechanoelectrical piezoelectric converter intended for powering
autonomous sensors from background vibrations is presented. The converter is composed …

Since the 1990's, mobile computing has transformed its penetration from niche markets and
early prototypes to ubiquity. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) evolved from GRiD's …
