Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0203856A2] A wireless, remote sensor is implemented by integrating a MEMS sensor, an energy harvesting/storage MEMS, a transceiver MEMS and a miniature antenna. A low charge of energy, created by vibratory, heat or chemical action, in the micro-watt range, is generated and stored by the harvesting/storage MEMS for powering the combined MEMS device. A central monitoring station signals the MEMS transceiver to transmit any data acquired by the MEMS sensor. Power is provided by the harvesting/storage MEMS to transmit data, obtained by the sensor, via the miniature antenna to the central monitoring station. Transmitting time is very short, requiring little power, and the transceiver is only activated by a signal from the monitoring station.
