Wirelessly controllable inflated electroactive polymer (EAP) reflectors
Inflatable membrane reflectors are attractive for deployable, large aperture, lightweight optical and microwave systems in micro-gravity space environment. However, any fabrication flaw or temperature variation may results in significant aberration of the surface. Even for a perfectly fabricated inflatable membrane mirror with uniform thickness, theory shows it will form a Hencky curve surface ...
متن کاملThe "torpedo" effect in medicine.
The natural electrical phenomena fascinated humans since antiquity. The electrical discharges produced by the torpedo fish were highly appreciated among ancient physicians as Hippocrates, Scribonius Largus and Galen and were prescribed for headache, gout and prolapsed anus. In the medieval period, torpedo's electrical properties were attributed to occult powers, while Renaissance physicians' an...
متن کاملEuMC: Wirelessly-Powered Wireless Sensor Platform
This paper presents a low-power (~10μW) 2.45-GHz wireless sensor platform consisting of a three-axis accelerometer, thermometer and skin conductivity sensor. The sensor is powered wirelessly from a distance of around 3-4m with narrowband 2.45-GHz dual-polarized low power density radiation of around 100μW/cm. Efficient power management enables the powering function to be independent of the wirel...
متن کاملApproximate Semantics for Wirelessly Networked Applications
Approximation saves energy in computation and storage by allowing data to diverge from precise representations. In contrast, networks guarantee that transmissions are received precisely by enforcing integrity checks at multiple layers of the protocol stack; these checks result in onerous retransmissions and increased network contention especially in wireless networks. When energy is limited, su...
متن کاملWirelessly powered miniature wearable vital signs monitor
Wireless, wearable health and activity monitoring devices are becoming an interesting solution for early detection of health problems and remote surveillance of post-incident patients. While efficient and precise signal acquisition and processing are readily available, the biggest challenge in widespread adoption of wearable monitoring devices lies in their energy supply. The tradeoff between t...
