Abstract

We have developed a small, handheld or wearable, wireless motion sensor that sends out a short RF pulse whenever it is jerked. The hardware is minimal, as it mainly includes only a piezoelectric foil accelerometer, a CMOS timer, and a single-transistor 300 MHz RF transmitter. As such, the onboard battery should last for many years, and the cost is low enough (well under US $1. in large quantity) to be given away with a ticket to an event, enabling it to be used to allow individuals to contribute to a large-group, real-time interaction. We discuss results from experiments using this device to explore collaborative music control, and touch on other applications.

Maximizing the Lifetime of a Barrier of Wireless Sensors

To make a network last beyond the lifetime of an individual sensor node, redundant nodes must be deployed. What sleep-wake-up schedule can then be used for individual nodes so that the redundancy is appropriately exploited to maximize the network ...

In old times, castles were surrounded by moats (deep trenches filled with water, and even alligators) to thwart or discourage intrusion attempts. One can now replace such barriers with stealthy and wireless sensors. In this paper, we develop theoretical ...
