Self-Starting Thermoelectric Energy Harvester
An integrated circuit that can cold start a DC-DC boost converter on a very small input voltage Background Energy harvested from body heat using thermoelectric generators (TEG) can be used to power wearable electronics, such as wireless sensors. However, owing to the small temperature gradient between the skin surface and ambient air (∼1-2...

Wind turbine sensor array for monitoring avian and bat collisions v2.0
Technology Description An integrated multi-sensor detection package with event-based data collection has been developed using accelerometers, microphones, and a camera coupled with integrated signal processing. The sensors are installed directly on wind turbine blades and on-board processors wirelessly transmit data to the central controller and data...
