Structural health monitoring of critical infrastructure is key to protect large structures from critical and potentially catastrophic failure. It is clear that for long-term and sustained operation, energy must be harvested from some source. Although a ...

We propose a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon that operates entirely on harvested energy from dual ISM-band RF sources with aid from photovoltaics. Indoor RF power can be harvested from Wi-Fi devices in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Indoor photovoltaic ...

Increasing shipment volumes in the space-limited Hamburg port area demand a more efficient way of port organization. To achieve this goal, a key aspect of Hamburg's smart port initiative is to deploy wireless sensors and actuators to realize a cyber-...

Sustained exponential improvements in the energy efficiency of microelectronics has recently enabled us to build battery-free camera systems that are powered entirely by propagating radio waves. This paper describes primitive machine vision applications ...

Battery-free sensing promises to revolutionize the scientific and industrial communities by enabling long term, maintenance free deployments in tough to reach places. However, developing applications for these intermittently-powered, batteryless devices ...
