Battery free Joule-Thief(TM) technology combined with TI's MSP430 microcontrollers, RF and eZ430-RF2500 development kit provides wide-ranging ambient intelligence

DALLAS, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating the advantages of energy harvesting and radio frequency (RF) technology for wireless sensing, monitoring or ambient intelligence, AdaptivEnergy has developed a demonstration kit using Joule-Thief(TM) technology to harvest energy and power Texas Instruments Incorporated's (TI) ultra-low power MSP430 microcontroller (MCU) and RF technology to collect data, control the operation of a system or send sensed data to central collection sites. The Joule-Thief energy harvesting device is based on AdaptivEnergy's Ruggedized Laminated Piezo (RLP(R)) technology, which enables compact energy harvesting modules to power applications such as wireless sensors. These wireless sensors could be used to gather ambient intelligence to detect and report critical conditions in factories, automobiles, office buildings, homes and other environments -- all without wiring or batteries.
