Abstract
A signal generation system, comprising a piezoelectric device which, upon actuation, generates voltage, and a wireless transmitter which generates a wireless signal when the piezoelectric device generates the voltage. A signal generation system, comprising signal generating devices, each wireless transmitter generating a respective signal comprising transmission which identifies the wireless transmitter. A signal generation system, comprising signal generating devices, each of the signal generating devices being mounted in or on respective structures which are free to move any distance relative to each other. A method of generating a signal, comprising actuating a piezoelectric device to generate an electrical signal, conveying the signal to a wireless transmitter, and transmitting a wireless transmission. A method of monitoring, comprising actuating piezoelectric devices in signal generating devices to generate respective electric signals, conveying the signals to corresponding wireless transmitters and transmitting corresponding wireless transmissions, each wireless transmission identifying the corresponding piezoelectric device.
