/**
* Mote interfaces are divided into active and passive interfaces.
*
* A passive mote interface is treated different than an ordinary (active) mote
* interface; Passive interfaces are allowed to act even when the mote is
* sleeping, while active interface only acts when the mote is in active state.
*
* A typical active interface is the radio interface, since radio messages only
* can be received when the mote is active.
*
* A typical passive interface is the battery interface, since a mote consumes
* energy even though it is sleeping.
*
* All passive interface should implement this interface. All interfaces not
* implemented this interface will be handled as active interfaces.
*
* Any energy required by this interface must be available after the
* doActionsBeforeTick method.
