Dielectric elastomer transducers consist of thin electrically insulating elastomeric membranes coated on both sides with compliant electrodes. They are a promising electromechanically active polymer technology that may be used for actuators, strain sensors ...
This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a soft dielectric elastomer power generator with a volume of less than 1 cm3. The generator is well suited to harvest energy from ambient and from human body motion as it can harvest from low frequ ...
A Digital Pixel Sensor (DPS) based CMOS camera configured to record frames and comprising an event detection sensor configured to look for an event happening in a determined frame, comprising an array of event detection pixels, a first reference voltage ge ...
In this paper, a linear tubular generator is presented. It is used for an energy harvesting system equipped in a footwear, scavenging power from forward motion during a walk. Configuration of the generator is studied, and geometric optimization by finite-e ...
Voltage stability imposes important limitations on the power systems operation. Adequate voltage stability margin needs to be obtained through the appropriate scheduling of the reactive power resources. The main countermeasures against voltage instability ...
A generator of very short pulses where a cascade of inverters of arbitrary length characterized in that said inverters are adapted to produce pulses on their power supply line instead of their usual output. ...
