Title		Ultra Low Power Data Logger

Abstract		This device is designed to log the numbers of human walking steps. Basically it is a data logger with a specific application. The main point for this device is using the available natural energy resources to generate electricity although the amount of harvested energy is very low but it is not important because the power consumption of all the components is less than 8uA in a worst case and it is really nothing! The idea behind the design of the circuit is really simple and repetitive. On the other hand, the innovations are significant in designing of the whole device. The energy harvesting resources are very limited. Till now the existing resources for energy harvesting are heat flow, vibration, electromagnetic waves and light. Vibration is used as the energy resource for this device.
