Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods provide for technology that monitors a component. A monitoring apparatus includes a sensor to monitor a state of a component, a power circuit to convert an electromagnetic signal to electrical power, a capacitor bank coupled to the power circuit and to the sensor to receive electrical power from the power circuit and to supply electrical power to the sensor, and a wireless readout to convert data from the sensor into a wireless communication signal. A method of monitoring a component includes coupling a sensor to a component, the sensor configured to monitor a state of the component, applying power to the sensor from a capacitor bank, and storing data obtained from the sensor, where the data relates to a state of the component. The method can include charging the capacitor bank via a power circuit, where the power circuit converts an electromagnetic signal to electrical power.
