Sozu Monitoring System Harvests Activity Energy & Runs Without Batteries
A team of Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Future Interfaces Group have developed self-powered radio tags called Sozu, which enables building-scale activity sensing, without the need for line-of-sight and at a very low cost. They claim a 99 percent detection rate and "almost...
