- Designing Ultra-Low-Power Wireless Systems - May 8th, 2008
Corona, California, May 8, 2008 – Ultra-low-power and energy harvesting open the gate to widespread adoption of wireless sensor communication technology. In comparison to traditional ac-powered and even battery-powered applications, designers need to tackle new challenges and design with substantially different design constraints. A continuing education seminar titled, "Designing for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications, powered by energy harvesting," will be presented by the GreenPeak Academy on June 4 in Costa Mesa, California. Senior specialists from the GreenPeak Academy will address the key design challenges for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications. Tips and Tricks will be discussed to arrive at the lowest possible energy consumption. Real life cases (including demo materials) will be addressed.
- Harvesting Ambient Energy – Update on Latest Developments - April 29th, 2008
Corona, California, April 29, 2008 – Speakers from around the world will present the latest technology and product developments in harvesting ambient energy at the second-annual nanoPower Forum (nPF ’08) in Costa Mesa, California, June 2-4. nPF ’08 will include 20 papers on energy harvesting by authors from Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore and the UK, as well as the U.S. Additional sessions will address the related topics of "Lower-Power System Architectures,"
"System Integration Issues," and "Thin-Film Batteries." This year's Forum will end with a half-day seminar on "Designing for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications, powered by energy harvesting." - Seminar on System Integration of Energy Harvesting - March 18th, 2008
Corona, California, March 18, 2008 – A half-day post-conference design seminar on “Designing for ultra-low-power wireless sensor applications, powered by energy harvesting” has been added to the second-annual nanoPower Forum (nPF ’08) to be held June 2-4 at the Wyndham Orange County in Costa Mesa, California. This seminar will be hosted by the GreenPeak Academy and is offered to all nPF ’08 registered delegates.
- Energy Harvesting and Thin-Film Batteries - March 6th, 2008
Corona, California, March 6, 2008 – Energy Harvesting and power management solutions for low-power wireless systems will be spotlighted at Darnell’s second annual nanoPower Forum (nPF ’08). Both are critical technologies enabling wireless applications such as mesh networks, wireless sensor and control applications, microelectromechanical (MEMs) systems, and so on
- Call for Papers on Energy Harvesting for nanoPower Forum '08 - January 3rd, 2008
Corona, California, January 3, 2008 - Up to a quarter of all portable electronic devices, including mobile phone handsets, MP3 players and laptop computers as well as wireless networking devices, will employ some form of energy harvesting within the next few years. Depending on the application, energy harvesting devices will provide the primary power source or will be used to supplement on-board batteries. Energy harvesting and related power management technologies are the "next big thing" for the power electronics industry and will be the focus of the 2008 nanoPower Forum (nPF '08) to be held at the Wyndham Orange County, in Costa Mesa, California on June 2 - 4.
