...buzz among people in diverse industries, from automation to automobiles. It's a spin-off from electronics giant Siemens AG. While attempting to create wireless switches and transmitters for trains and cars, Siemens developed a sensor that requires such a minuscule amount of energy to transmit a radio signal that it can create its own power from the slightest movements or vibrations...
...sensor is surprisingly simple and maintenance free. It converts ambient energy into electrical energy using, say, a tiny solar cell, vibrations from a spinning tire or even the movement of a light switch. Then an extremely low-power sensor does its job and sends radio signals to a receiver that collects the data. The sensors can be used to adjust shades on a window, measure air pressure in a tire or regulate temperature and humidity in a building. When the city of Dresden began renovating the Baroque Semper Opera House, it wanted to monitor humidity. But regulations protecting historical buildings...
