Formerly known as Texas Piezoelectric, Texas MicroPower ("TMP") designs and builds integrated low cost energy harvesting systems for portable and remote electronics so that devices can become battery-free or need only supplemental traditional power storage. Based on licensed University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) technology, the company is currently developing solar and vibration energy harvesting solutions in a variety of applications including personal electronics, wireless sensors, and active RFID tags. TMP is organized around developing materials, devices, and circuit and system technologies that will harvest energy from multiple naturally-available sources such as human energy, wind, vibrations, or solar into micro-power transferred ideally into battery-free, isolated and remote electronic devices such as wireless sensors, medical implants or further complement traditional storage for portable electronics. Technology will be further developed for highly integrated miniature thin-film structures, EH systems for broad application segments with associated device circuits, and systems design. In the process, leveraging the advances in power management and wireless communication working in unison with other traditional generation and storage mechanisms to realize integrated commercializable cost-competitive system solutions.
