The race for plug and play vibration harvesting

The market for vibration harvesters will increase perhaps one hundred fold when they are broad band so they can be fitted without tuning - or with auto tuning - to the vibration encountered. Ideally they should be made to standard battery sizes and sold as a non polluting, long life battery replacement.

Energy harvesting moves from theory to adoption

There are several conferences on the theoretical aspects of energy harvesting and they have an important function to perform. However, in 2009, the subject is finally coming of age with widespread early adoption and market pull after so many years of little more than supplier push.

RFID Changes Course

The main emphasis of RFID use and supply has radically changed course. That was the message of the large IDTechEx RFID Smart Labels USA event in Boston last week. The business is booming in just about every sector other than the supply of pallet and case tagging to retailer and military mandates.
