EH-LinkT is a wireless sensor node that can draw power from a host of energy-harvesting systems, including strain, vibration, thermal gradients, solar, electromagnetic fields and piezoelectric harvesters. The device is compatible with any analog transducer, and so can be used with strain gages, load cells, torque sensors, pressure transducer and magnetic sensors. In addition to multiple harvesting inputs, EH-LinkT features an onboard triaxial accelerometer, as well as sensors for temperature and relative humidity. — MicroStrain Inc., Williston, Vt.
