Abstract
Devices, methods, systems, and computer-readable media for a two-way radio harvester and transmitter are described herein. One or more embodiments include 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 into direct current (DC) power and store the DC power, a gate coupled to the storage element and a controller to allow the DC power in the storage element to power the controller when the gate reaches a power threshold and closes, and a transmitter connected between the controller and a transmit element to convert data containing information about preselected items by the controller into radio frequency (RF) signals to be transmitted by the transmit element.
Claims19
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.
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 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;
- and
- a receiver device to receive the information from the two-way radio harvester and transmitter device.
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.
