TL;DR: In this paper, a wireless sensor network is proposed for monitoring buildings to assess earthquake damage, where the sensor nodes use custom-developed capacitive microelectromechanical systems strain and 3-D acceleration sensors and a low power readout application-specified integrated circuit for a battery life of up to 12 years.

TL;DR: An ultra-low power single chip transceiver for wireless body area network (WBAN) applications that supports on-off keying (OOK) modulation, and it is integrated in an electrocardiogram (ECG) necklace to monitor the heart's electrical property.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and an electronic readout circuit for measuring the capacitance of a MEMS sensor is presented. But the readout is not controlled by a control logic.

TL;DR: This work presents a 2.4GHz ULP OOK singlechip transceiver for WBAN applications that integrates analog and digital baseband, PLL functionality and additional programmability for flexible data rates, and achieves ultra-low power consumption for the overall system.

TL;DR: In this article, an Ultra-Low-Power readout architecture for capacitive MEMS-based accelerometers and strain sensors is presented, where the gain of the system is controlled by integrating pulses from the excitation circuit allowing accurate control of the Signal-to-Noise ratio.
