Abstract
One aspect of this disclosure relates to converting an energy or power contained in a signal received by an at least one mote device into an energy or power form that can be utilized to at least partially operate the at least one mote device. Another aspect of this disclosure relates to extracting an energy or power contained in a signal received by an at least one mote device to be utilized to at least partially operate the at least one mote device. Yet another aspect of this disclosure relates to directing from an at least one directing device an energy or power contained in a signal at an at least one mote device that can be utilized to operate the at least one mote device.
