Self-powered nanowire devices.
The harvesting of mechanical energy from ambient sources could power electrical devices without the need for batteries. However, although the efficiency and durability of harvesting materials such as piezoelectric nanowires have steadily improved, the voltage and power produced by a single nanowire are insufficient for real devices. The integration of large numbers of nanowire energy harvesters...
متن کاملPower Management for RF-Powered vs. Battery-Powered Devices
The general goal of power management (PM) is to achieve optimal system performance while meeting power constraints. Minimizing the energy consumption is mostly not sufficient. Especially power management policies for battery-powered and RFpowered devices require a deep understanding of the supplies’ electrical characteristics. Thus, battery-aware PM aims to efficiently utilize the battery by re...
متن کاملComputing Lifetimes for Battery-Powered Devices
The battery lifetime of mobile devices depends on the usage pattern of the battery, next to the discharge rate and the battery capacity. Therefore, it is important to include the usage pattern in battery lifetime computations. We do this by combining a stochastic workload, modeled as a continuous-time Markov model, with a well-known battery model. For this combined model, we provide new algorit...
متن کاملNanogenerators for Self-powered Devices and Systems
Ever since the wide range applications of laptop computers and cell phones, seeking of power sources for driving portable electronics is becoming increasingly important. The current technology mainly relies on rechargeable batteries. But for the near future, micro/nano-systems will be widely used in health monitoring, infrastructure and environmental monitoring, internet of things and defense t...
متن کاملENDURALIFE-Powered Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy Defibrillator Devices for Treating Heart Failure: A NICE Medical Technology Guidance
ENDURALIFE™-powered cardiac resynchronisation therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices were the subject of an evaluation by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, through its Medical Technologies Evaluation Programme, for the treatment of heart failure. Boston Scientific (manufacturer) submitted a case for the adoption of the technology, claiming that it has a longer battery life r...
