Energy harvesting wireless strain sensing modules.(Leading Off)
MicroStrain announced its energy harvesting wireless strain sensing modules, called ESG-LINK. The company asserts its sensing systems will operate indefinitely--without the need for batteries--by converting the component's cyclic strains into DC power using piezoelectric materials. The miniaturized energy harvesting sensing nodes feature a precision time keeper, non-volatile memory for on-board data logging and frequency agile IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver. Sampling rates, sample durations, sensor offsets, sensor gains and on-board shunt calibration are all wirelessly programmable. …
