Strategies for increasing the operating frequency range of vibration energy harvesters: a review [PDF]
This paper reviews possible strategies to increase the operational frequency range of vibration-based micro-generators. Most vibration-based micro-generators are spring-mass-damper systems which generate maximum power when the resonant frequency of the ...

Design of A Novel Wheel-Legged Robot with Rim Shape Changeable Wheels
The wheel-legged hybrid structure has been utilized by ground mobile platforms in recent years to achieve good mobility on both flat surfaces and rough terrain. However, most of the wheel-legged robots only have one-directional obstacle-crossing ability.
