1. A measurement device comprising:

  • a near-field communication (NFC) enabled energy harvesting device;

    an energy storage component electrically coupled to the NFC enabled energy harvesting device for storing energy harvested by the NFC enabled energy harvesting device from an NFC transmitting device positioned adjacent to the measurement device;

    a DC-DC converter electrically coupled to the energy storage component;

    a counter; and

    a functional circuit electrically coupled to the DC-DC converterwherein the energy storage component harvests and stores at least a portion of the energy harvested by the NFC enabled energy harvesting device until a first time T1 set by the counter,wherein the DC-DC converter is activated at a second time T2 set by the counter using at least a portion of the energy stored in the energy storage component, andwherein the functional circuit is activated at a third time T3 set by the counter using at least a portion of the power provided by the DC-DC converter.
