Apparently you can replace the 9V battery in your smoke alarm with one of these.
That's progress!

I didn't notice in the partners table before, their partnership with Korean CE Co. for a "wirelessly powered robotic vacuum". With the amount of energy required, you'll probably get your house cleaned with the ultrasounds alone :D

I watched the blue-white RX LEDs coming on 2 or 3 times in the video, with superbright LEDs that amount of light could be as low as 25-30mW.
In this thread somewhere Howardlong and me have both tried to create subharmonics in the air by mixing 2 40kHzs 1 or 2kHz apart, and neither of us could hear anything for some reason, I checked with a very close EMC that they were mixing, there seems to be more to it than just 2 cleanly mixed 40kHzs.

I dunno, a guess is it's something to do with powering 4 receivers at the same time.
