Batteryless energy harvesting state monitoring device
First Claim
1. A wireless coded communication (WCC) device, comprising,a wireless chip;
- anda power pump, the power pump configured to generate power in response a mechanical force applied to an element of the power pump, the power being transferred to a power storage cell such that when the power storage cell has a threshold amount of power the wireless chip executes a predefined function;
wherein the predefined function is to send a code data to an end node over a wireless link;
wherein a mechanical switch is interfaced with the element of the power pump, mechanical switch is configured to move in response to an incidental trigger that causes the mechanical force,wherein moving the mechanical switch transfers the mechanical force onto the element so as to transition the element from an initial state to the strained state, the transitioning from the initial state to the strained state generates the power that is transferred to the power storage cell;
wherein the incidental trigger is provided in response to intentional movement of an object that is other than the WCC.

Abstract
A wireless coded communication (WCC) device and method for using the device are provided. In one example, the device includes a wireless chip and a power pump. The power pump is configured to generate power in response a mechanical force applied to an element of the power pump, and the power is transferred to a power storage cell such that the wireless chip is enabled to execute a predefined function. The predefined function is to send code data to an end node over a wireless link. A mechanism is interfaced with the element of the power pump, and the mechanism is configured to move an incidental trigger coupled to the mechanical force. In this example, moving the mechanism transfers the mechanical force onto the element so as to transition the element from an initial state to the strained state, the transitioning from the initial state to the strained state generates the power that is transferred to the power storage cell.
