Embedded inside it is a batteryless RF switch, and the way it works is that upon the release of the spring mechanism inside, a tiny bit of power is generated for the 2.4GHz RF transmission ( ZigBee compatible), and whatever device is connected to the RF control outlet on the other end will receive the on or off signal.

Renewable technologies, such as wind power, wave power and biomass power, are a tiny part of the energy mix, and are more expensive than nuclear power.
After the loss of internal power the spacecraft could only be tracked using the tiny radio transmitter in the lunar capsule.
Admittedly, this unusual memory requires an internal light source, but the amount of illumination required is tiny and consumes less power than the logic circuits that are used to read data in and out.
New Labour's immaculately crafted 1997 election campaign was built with such care because we had lost four elections in a row, had been in power for only a tiny part of the last one hundred years, and were determined to undo that past.
The scientists examined the effects of the radiation on mitochondrial DNA - the tiny energy factories which power cells.
The chips will include an 800-megahertz ARM central processor--the same power-sipping design powering many smart phones--with a high-definition video processor, an imaging processor, an audio processor and a tiny, low-power version of the GeForce graphics processors Nvidia pushes for desktop and laptop computers.
Intel (15, INTC) has all but dispatched Advanced Micro Devices as a serious competitor in computers, and now with its Atom line of tiny, low-power-consumption chips based on the x86 architecture, is moving into netbook computers, mobile Internet devices and a wide range of other consumer gadgets.
Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD - news - people ) as a serious competitor in computers, and now with its Atom line of tiny, low-power-consumption chips based on the x86 architecture, is moving into netbook computers, mobile Internet devices and a wide range of other consumer gadgets.
The tiny player also has room to store plenty of power to run.
Keep in mind that there are still only a tiny number of companies that have truly utilized the power of the technology.

When it's put through tests that simulate typical vehicle usage-30, 000 starts and stops, sudden accelerations, and temperature and elevation extremes-tiny holes begin to show up in the membrane, reducing the power of the system.
Over in Germany, researchers unveiled a technique that harnesses the power of lightning to break up concrete into usable building materials and scientists at MIT built a tiny, caterpillar-size robot that can transform into almost any shape.
Unlike existing technologies, these new devices developed by researchers at the University of Illinois weigh nearly nothing, require no external wires and operate on tiny amounts of power.
