    摘要: The present invention relates to a very simple and robust wireless batteryless device (100) for harvesting energy. The actuation upon button pressure/release results in a rotation of a first member (1) around its central axis (11) leading to a move of an element (3), which is loosely fixed at the first member (1) from a pivot point (14), and a rotation around the central axis (11) of the second member (2) to which a generator axis of an energy harvester is coupled, the rotation axis of the generator being coincident with the central axis (11). Upon full pressure/release, the element (3) is forced to rotate around the pivot point (14), allowing a vertically raised pin (22) of the second member (2) to disengage a recessed area (31, 32) at each end of a slot (30) of the element (3) and the second member (2) to rotate to its rest position.

    摘要: Provided are a piezoelectric energy harvester and a wireless switch including the piezoelectric energy harvester. The wireless switch uses energy generated in a piezoelectric energy harvester as a source of driving power, thereby transmitting communications signals to an external electronic device without requiring a battery. In addition, the piezoelectric energy harvester generates displacement in a piezoelectric element through a magnetic force generated in a magnet, thereby generating a constant level of energy when generating the driving power.

    摘要: A self-powered switching system using electromechanical generators generates power for activation of a latching relay, switch, solenoid or latch pin. The electromechanical generators comprise electroactive elements that may be mechanically actuated to generate electrical power. The associated signal generation circuitry may be coupled to a transmitter for sending RF signals to a receiver which actuates the latching relay. The use of mechanically activated membrane switches on the deflector or on a keypad allows multiple code sequences to be generated for activating electrical appliances. The system also uses a communications protocol allowing the receivers to respond to signals from transmitters and/or repeaters. The use of one or more repeaters also increases the reliability of the system as well as extending its effective transmission range. The receivers use low DC voltage (which may be stepped down from the high switched voltage) to generate switching signals to control a low voltage controller for control of high or low voltage switching relays.
