Experimental Performance Evaluation of a Hydraulic PTO System for Centipede Wave Energy Converter
International Journal of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, 2020 In the past decade, ocean and marine waves like other renewable energy sources attracted attention due to its high energy density. The most important part of a wave energy converter (WEC) is power take-off (PTO) system.

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System
Advanced Science, EarlyView.By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Hydraulic Power Take-off and Buoy Geometries Charac-terisation for a Wave Energy Converter
Energy and Power Engineering, 2013 In the past few decades, world energy consumption grew considerably. Regarding this fact, wave energy should not be discarded as a valid alternative for the production of electricity. Devices suitable to harness this kind of renewable energy source and turn it into electricity are not yet commercially competitive.

Making Sweat Measurable: Induction, Sampling, and Refreshment in Wearable Biofluid Sensing
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Wearable sweat sensing relies not only on chemical detection but also on controlled biofluid management. This Review integrates sweat physiology, induction strategies, and microfluidic sampling architectures, demonstrating how flux, transport, and refreshment shape measurement reliability.

A Review of Wave-to-Wire Models for Wave Energy Converters
Energies, 2016 Control of wave energy converters (WECs) has been very often limited to hydrodynamic control to absorb the maximum energy possible from ocean waves. This generally ignores or significantly simplifies the performance of real power take-off (PTO) systems ...

Shallow water effects on wave energy converters with hydraulic power take-off system
The International Journal of Ocean and Climate Systems, 2016 The effect of water depth on the power absorption by a single heaving point absorber wave energy converter, attached to a hydraulic power take-off system, is simulated and analysed. The wave energy flux for changing water depths is presented and the study is carried out at a location in the north-west Portuguese coast, favourable for wave power ...

Interacting Parallel Fluidic Hysterons
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The parallel coupling of fluidic hysterons is introduced, establishing advanced functionalities in inflatable soft systems. A pressure–volume framework reveals how preset volumes Δv∗${\Delta }v^*$ tune nonlinear interactions between hysterons and actuation sequences without changing architecture. Experiments validate the predictions, opening new routes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional single‐gradient freeze‐casting typically produces unidirectional porous architectures with limited transverse connectivity. The Sequential Hybridization by Infiltration and Freeze‐casting Technique (SHIFT) addresses this constraint by integrating secondary aligned structures within a preformed primary scaffold.

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean EngineeringIn this study, a new model-testing methodology, termed the Real-Time Hybrid Model Test, was developed to evaluate the integrated performance of floating-type wave energy converters (FWECs) in a wave basin. The proposed technique incorporates a full-scale
