  • Publication number: 20070222584
    Abstract: A sensor system has a least one voltage generator for conversion of non-electrical energy to electrical energy. At least one energy store is connected downstream from the voltage generator. At least one voltage converter is connected to the energy store such that its output signal is suitable for operation of a processor controller. At least one sensor is provided, and at least one transmitter enables wire-free transmission of transmission messages produced by the processor controller and containing at least one measured value from the at least one sensor. A timer circuit is triggered as a function of a voltage level of the at least one energy store, and activates the sensor system to transmit at least one transmission message after a specific time interval.

  • Patent number: 7005778
    Abstract: An apparatus for supplying power, for example, to a sensor, has a passive piezoelectric transducer that can be deformed by a mechanical energy storage device. The transducer supplies a corresponding electrical voltage to operate the sensor. The piezoelectric transducer can be bent by deformation work that is emitted from the energy storage device.

  • Publication number: 20050073221
    Abstract: An apparatus for conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy by means of a piezo transducer (1), on which an electrical voltage, which can be supplied to a load (8), is formed when deformation occurs. The piezo transducer (1) is formed from two or more layers (2) of piezoelectric material, which are separated from one another by electrically conductive layers (10, 11), and the successive electrically conductive layers (10, 11) are alternately connected to common electrical contacts (13, 14).

  • Publication number: 20050035600
    Abstract: A voltage generator (1) for conversion of non-electrical primary energy (PE) to a voltage signal (USIG, USIG?) by means of induction. The voltage generator (1) has at least one mechanical energy store (2) for holding the primary energy (PE), and which has at least one changeover point (P). At least one induction system (3) is provided which can be coupled to the mechanical energy store (2), with the mechanical energy store (2) carrying out a movement on reaching the at least one changeover point (P) by means of which movement a voltage signal (USIG, USIG?) can be induced in the induction system (3).
