Goggin's wireless device, which was recently patented and is the size of a pencil eraser, would attach to each sensor placed on a structure for a cost of 50 cents each. While Farrar says there are several ways to power the sensors and it's still "early on in the game" to say which is best, Goggin says that researchers could use his invention...
...China --in this case, in Wuxi, a city of 4.5 million about 80 miles west of Shanghai. They were sold by Goldcredit International Enterprises, which is based in a gated community called Lakebank Elegant Garden, within sight of China's Taihu Lake.
