Stanford engineer aims to connect the world with no batteries required ant-sized radios | |

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

"Cheap, tiny, self-powered radio controllers are an essential requirement for the Internet of Things," said Arbabian, who has created a web page to share some ideas on what he calls battery-less radios.

Merlin's Mom User ID: 25936196 United States 09/11/2014 07:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Stanford engineering team has built a radio the size of an ant, a device so energy efficient that it gathers all the power it needs from the same electromagnetic waves that carry signals to its receiving antenna no batteries required. Quoting: Face Palmer Designed to compute, execute and relay commands, this tiny wireless chip costs pennies to fabricate making it cheap enough to become the missing link between the Internet as we know it and the linked-together smart gadgets envisioned in the "Internet of Things." "The next exponential growth in connectivity will be connecting objects together and giving us remote control through the web," said Amin Arbabian, an assistant professor of electrical engineering who recently demonstrated this ant-sized radio chip at the VLSI Technology and Circuits Symposium in Hawaii. Much of the infrastructure needed to enable us to control sensors and devices remotely already exists: We have the Internet to carry commands around the globe, and computers and smartphones to issue the commands. What's missing is a wireless controller cheap enough to so that it can be installed on any gadget anywhere. "How do you put a bi-directional wireless control system on every lightbulb?" Arbabian said. "By putting all the essential elements of a radio on a single chip that costs pennies to make." Cost is critical because, as Arbabian observed, "We're ultimately talking about connecting trillions of devices." [link to news.stanford.edu] Thank you for your posts. Some days getting on GLP is such a downer. It aint what it used to be. You consistently glean the good data and present it to us. I certainly appreciate your efforts (and posts), and I am sure many others do as well. They are priceless breaks in the wall of juvenile adolescent/old fart pervert sensationalistic porn-filled/attention getting nonsense, angst, false doom, and false hopes. Thanks again! |
