Energy harvesting + sensor network nodes = autonomous sensor network nodes

I just received an email from my chum Luiz Costay. As an aside, earlier this year, Luiz and I had made tentative plans to meet up at ESC Brazil – Luiz was going to show me the sights – but fate had other plans and neither of us ended up going to ESC in Brazil (bummer).

But we digress… In his email, Luiz spake as follows:

Hi Max, I recently finished writing a simple survey paper in an attempt to introduce the non-specialized reader to two combined technologies: energy harvesting + sensor network nodes = autonomous sensor network nodes.

Is there any way you could spread the word about this paper?

Well, of course there is (grin). Click Here to download a copy of Luiz's paper, then post comments below to tell him what you think about it.
