Energy harvesting mechanisms can be used to extract energy from ambient surroundings power small electronic devices, which has a significant advantage in realizing self-sustaining wireless devices. The proposed design of this study uses the internal fluid flow within pipe and takes fluid–structure interaction through flow-induced vibration bluff body. hybrid harvester convert electrical piezoel...

The prediction and control of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is one the key problems for riser design. effect platform heave motion on VIV deep sea top-tensioned (TTR) presented by means numerical simulation experiment in this research. First, was modeled as a parametric excitation, governing equation considering excitation established. Then, dynamic response TTR calculated numerically finite d...

This article presents a data-startable baseband logic featuring gated oscillator clock and data recovery (GO-CDR) circuit for nanowatt wake-up receivers (WuRxs). At each transition, the phase misalignment between coming from analog front-end (AFE) is cleared by GO-CDR circuit, thus allowing reception of long streams. Any free-running frequency mismatch GO bitrate does not limit number receivabl...

Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity is a key indicator of a vigilance state, and quantitative analyses of the EEG have revealed profound differences both between and within vigilance states in humans. We summarize recent studies that investigated how the spectral composition of the EEG during the three vigilance states, that is, wakefulness, rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep, is mod...

In this paper we investigate a biological framework to generate and adapt a motion pattern so that can be energy efficient. In fact, the motion pattern in legged animals and human emerges among interaction between a central pattern generator neural network called CPG and the musculoskeletal system. Here, we model this neuro - musculoskeletal system by means of a leg - like mechanical system cal...

We have created a computational model of the timing network that paces the heartbeat of the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis. The rhythmic activity of this network originates from two segmental oscillators located in the third and fourth midbody ganglia. In the intact nerve cord, these segmental oscillators are mutually entrained to the same cycle period. Although experiments have shown that...

To study the mechanical interactions between heart, lungs and thorax, we propose a mathematical model combining a ventilatory neuromuscular model and a model of the cardiovascular system, as described by Smith et al. (Smith, Chase, Nokes, Shaw & Wake 2004 Med. Eng. Phys.26, 131-139. (doi:10.1016/j.medengphy.2003.10.001)). The respiratory model has been adapted from Thibault et al. (Thibault, He...
