Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...

An effective wireless-sensor network requires the integration of two key components: low-cost, low-power, scalable hardware and manageable software. The industry has shown signs of delivering on the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The advent of low-power processors, intelligent wireless networks, and low-power sensors coupled with “Big Data” ...

[Mile]’s PTPM Energy Scavenger takes the scavenging idea seriously and is designed to gather not only solar power but also energy from temperature differentials, vibrations, and magnetic induction.

Asad Khan receives funding from Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education. He is affiliated with Monash University. Can you imagine a world where millions of ...

One of the biggest challenges for wireless sensor networks is that of power. Solar panels usually produce less power than you hoped, especially small ones, and designing super low power circuits is ...

Imagine a cloud of sensors, each the size of a grain of sand or even smaller, blown aloft by hurricane winds and relaying data on the storm to weather stations below. Picture an invisible sensor ...
