  • Energy harvesting from a data bus
    Patent number: 10142125
    Abstract: A system and method using for energy harvesting from a data bus is provided. A first node of a data bus network is connected to a second node of a data bus network. Each of the first and second nodes transmit and receive data signals. A switching circuit is connected between the first and second node within the data bus network. The switching circuit intercepts data signals transmitted from the first node to the second node. An energy harvesting circuit is connected to the switching circuit. The switching circuit selectively redirects at least a portion of the data signals to the energy harvesting circuit, based on a rule set. A control logic processor is connected to the energy harvesting circuit and the switching circuit. The control logic processor provides the rule set to the switching circuit based on feedback from the energy harvesting circuit and the switching circuit.
