The sensor equivalent of a sleeping dog is called an event-driven sensor. Using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, we can make such event-driven sensors on silicon chips that are only millimeters in size. This sensor could last for years on its original battery while waiting for a triggering event.
