摘要:
A device for harvesting energy from a vibrating substrate includes a base, a parallelogram of stacked beams, an end connector, a first coil of wire, and a first permanent magnet. The base is for mounting to the substrate for receiving vibrational energy derived from the substrate. Each beam of the parallelogram of stacked beams has a first end and a second end. The first end is stationary with respect to the base and connected to receive vibrational energy from the base so the second end can vibrate. The second ends are connected to the end connector. The first permanent magnet is stationary with respect to the base. The first coil of wire is mounted to vibrate with the parallelogram of stacked beams. The first coil of wire extends around the first permanent magnet. When the parallelogram of stacked beams vibrates, the first coil of wire vibrates with respect to the first permanent magnet and a first current is induced in the first coil of wire.

A method of sampling data includes providing a plurality of wireless nodes, wherein each of the wireless nodes includes a receiver, a real time clock and a counter. Ticks of the real time clock are counted by the counter. The method also includes broadcasting a common beacon for receipt by receivers of each of the wireless nodes, and upon receipt of the common beacon setting each of the counters to a first preset value.
