Two-way radio harvester and transmitter
First Claim
1. A two-way radio harvester and transmitter, comprising:
- a rectifier connected between a receive element and a storage element to harvest and convert a signal received by the rectifier into direct current (DC) power and store the DC power in the storage element;
a gate coupled to the storage element;
a controller to allow the DC power in the storage element to direct at least some of the stored power to the controller when the gate reaches a power threshold and closes, wherein the power threshold is dependent on at least power level and time needed to send data containing information about preselected items by the controller; and
a transmitter connected between the controller and a transmit element to convert the data containing information about preselected items by the controller into radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted by the transmit element.

15. A system for a two-way radio harvester and transmitter, comprising:
-
a two-way radio harvester and transmitter device comprising; a rectifier connected between a receive element and a storage element to harvest and convert a portion of a signal into direct current (DC) power and store the DC power in the storage element; a gate coupled to the storage element and a controller to allow the direct current (DC) power in the storage element to power the controller when the gate reaches a power threshold, wherein the power threshold is dependent on at least power level and time needed to send data containing information about preselected items by the controller; a transmitter connected between the controller and a transmit element to convert the data containing information about preselected items by the controller into radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted by the transmit element of a two-way radio harvester and transmitter; a data collector device to gather auxiliary information and to provide the auxiliary information to the controller of the two-way radio harvester and transmitter device to be synthesized; and a receiver device to receive the information from the two-way radio harvester and transmitter device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
