A wireless and battery-less sensor device is described. The sensor device
includes a mechanical energy harvesting device, a sensor electrically
coupled to the mechanical energy harvesting module. The sensor is
configured to sense with the power supplied by the mechanical energy
harvesting device. Nonvolatile memory is configured to store output from
the sensor. A radio frequency energy harvesting module is electrically
coupled to a radio frequency transmitter. The radio frequency transmitter
is configured to transmit the output from the sensor with the power
supplied by the radio frequency energy harvesting device. Systems and
methods utilizing the wireless and battery-less sensor device are also
described.
