Intelligent Signal Processing at the Sensor Network Edge
Sensors are being used everywhere with new applications such as monitoring office rooms for building automation, increasing uptime in an industrial factory and monitoring the border for homeland security. Ideally, these new applications have potential to flood an area with an array of sensors. In order to do this an order of magnitude in cost reduction must be obtained while improving accuracy, robustness and future proofing the sensor...

Technical Overview of Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP)
TSMP (Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol) is a networking protocol that forms the foundation of reliable, ultra low-power wireless sensor networking. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are self-organizing, multi-hop networks of wireless sensor nodes used to monitor and control physical phenomena. Typical WSN applications include industrial process automation, commercial building climate control and security alarming. TSMP provides redundancy...

Zero Power Wireless Sensors Paper
Wireless sensors are becoming increasingly integrated and miniaturized. One obstacle facing sensor designers is the lack of size and profile improvement in batteries and other energy storage devices that maintain sufficient capacity to deliver the necessary power and energy. This White Paper describes how new thin film battery technologies solve this problem. Also learn how to create permanent power Energy Harvesting devices using solar and...
