Testing and Simulation of Multilayer Polyvinylidene Fluoride‐Based Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess

Performance of Dual-Layer Flat-Panel Detectors

open access: yesDiagnostics
Background/Objectives: In digital radiography imaging, dual-layer flat-panel detectors (DFDs), in which two flat-panel detector layers are stacked with a minimal distance between the layers and appropriate alignment, are commonly used in material ...

On energy harvesting from ambient vibration

open access: yes, 2006
Future MEMS devices will harvest energy from their environment. One can envisage an autonomous condition monitoring vibration sensor being powered by that same vibration, and transmitting data over a wireless link; inaccesible or hostile environments are

Energy pattern aided simultaneous wireless information and power transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In echoing Varshney's seminal concept of jointly transmitting information and energy, we propose the concept of an energy pattern aided Simultaneous Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) system, where in addition to power transfer, information ...

Functional Disorder at the Neural Interface: How Disordered Nanostructures Promote Proper Growth and Differentiation in In Vitro Neural Cultures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a practical guide for neuroengineers to design advanced neural interfaces, embracing and tailoring the concept of functional disorder. By bridging 2D and 3D in vitro models, this work highlights how non‐periodic, spatially heterogeneous, multiscale nanotopography can enable more physiologically relevant platforms for studying neural ...

Causal‐Guided Ultra‐Long‐Term Time Series Forecasting Via Anticipated Covariates

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Often treated as unknown, information from the future remains underutilized.We demonstrate that in a coupled dynamical system, providing the future state of the effect enables accurate forecasting of the cause for a long timesteps. A time series forecasting paradigm that introduces anticipated covariates to represent such known future states is ...
