We demonstrate that micro-scale rolling bearings exhibit friction and wear properties markedly different from their macro-scale counterparts. A microfabricated testing platform uses variable rolling element diameters or ...

A novel modulation technique termed as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with subcarrier power modulation (OFDM-SPM) for efficient data transmission in wireless communication systems is proposed. OFDM-SPM uses the ...

This paper presents a piezoelectric energy harvesting device that generates electrical power from knee motion during human gait. The device is composed of two MEMS-based piezoelectric patch transducers optimized for placement ...

In this work, we propose an approach to better understand the effects of neuronal noise on neural communication systems. Here, we extend the fundamental Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model by adding synaptic couplings to represent ...

Aiming to reduce the transceiver complexity and power consumption of communication systems dedicated to serving future Internet of Things (IoT) applications, researchers have taken many approaches with varying degrees of ...

This paper presents an in-vivo flexible pressure sensor that can be implanted around an artery for continuous measurement of blood pressure. Currently, in-vivo arterial sensor architectures rely on circular geometries fully ...

This paper presents the theory and implementation of an integrated sensing technique for the real-time measurement of applied actuation conditions in a micro-turbo-generator. The device is composed of a microturbine rotor ...

The world of today is characterized by a very huge inter-connectivity of data-hungry devices. This imposes on wireless system designers not only developing techniques that are spectrally efficient at the area level where ...

Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks require authenticated and fully secured transmissions between user devices and 5G base stations (gNodeB). In the current 5G technology standard, mobile devices cannot distinguish ...

The development of a novel hybrid energy harvester for scavenging power around human waistline is presented. The harvester is composed of mm-scale electromagnetic coils and piezoelectric transducers incorporated on a belt, ...
