Cornell's Energy Materials Center (emc2) has just signed a memorandum of understanding with Ithaca's MicroGen Systems LLC to develop "self-charging" batteries, which use background shaking and stirring as their energy source. The battery will look like a microchip, but with a vibrating core, and it will harness energy from almost anything that shakes. Applications for the self-charging batteries include smart energy systems for industrial equipment, lighting control, infrastructure applications for monitoring the structural integrity of bridges and roads, and energy for monitoring onboard vehicle systems.

Daintree Networks, Inc., a leading provider of innovative wireless control solutions for energy-smart buildings, today announced the results of an industry survey on lighting interoperability, conducted at LightFair 2010 in Las Vegas in May. At the show, Daintree Networks also premiered its Wireless Lighting Control Solution, aimed at enhancing commercial building sustainability with a new generation of wireless, intelligent and interoperable control systems. The survey found overwhelming support and interest in the availability of open-standards, interoperable lighting controls products such as switches, sensors, ballasts and LED drivers. Respondents answered a series of questions about interoperability within the lighting controls industry – in other words, the capacity for products from a variety of vendors to communicate and work together seamlessly in a single system. The respondents were drawn from a range of roles within the lighting industry, and cited benefits for interoperability including lower cost of components, improved choice, and greater trust in technology purchases.
