Nonlinearity in Energy Harvesting Systems
This book is a single-source guide to nonlinearity and nonlinear techniques in energy harvesting, with a focus on vibration energy harvesters for micro and nanoscale applications. The authors demonstrate that whereas nonlinearity was avoided as an undesirable phenomenon in early energy harvesters, now it can be used as an essential part of these systems. Readers will benefit from an overview of nonlinear techniques and applications, as well as deeper insight into methods of analysis and modeling of energy harvesters, employing different nonlinearities. The role of nonlinearity due to different aspects of an energy harvester is discussed, including nonlinearity due to mechanical-to-electrical conversion, nonlinearity due to conditioning electronic circuits, nonlinearity due to novel materials (e.g., graphene), etc. Coverage includes tutorial introductions to MEMS and NEMS technology, as well as a wide range of applications, such as nonlinear oscillators and transducers for energy harvesters and electronic conditioning circuits for effective energy processing.
Electrostatic Kinetic Energy Harvesting
Harvesting kinetic energy is a good opportunity to power wireless sensor in a vibratory environment. Besides classical methods based on electromagnetic and piezoelectric mechanisms, electrostatic transduction has a great perspective in particular when dealing with small devices based on MEMS technology. This book describes in detail the principle of such capacitive Kinetic Energy Harvesters based on a spring-mass system. Specific points related to the design and operation of kinetic energy harvesters (KEHs) with a capacitive interface are presented in detail: advanced studies on their nonlinear features, typical conditioning circuits and practical MEMS fabrication.
Languages for Embedded Systems and their Applications
Embedded systems take over complex control and data processing tasks in diverse application ?elds such as automotive, avionics, consumer products, and telec- munications. They are the primary driver for improving overall system safety, ef?ciency, and comfort. The demand for further improvement in these aspects can only be satis?ed by designing embedded systems of increasing complexity, which in turn necessitates the development of new system design methodologies based on speci?cation, design, and veri?cation languages. The objective of the book at hand is to provide researchers and designers with an overview of current research trends, results, and application experiences in c- puter languages for embedded systems. The book builds upon the most relevant contributions to the 2008 conference Forum on Design Languages (FDL), the p- mier international conference specializing in this ?eld. These contributions have been selected based on the results of reviews provided by leading experts from - search and industry. In many cases, the authors have improved their original work by adding breadth, depth, or explanation.
Cyber-Physical Systems and Control II
The book contains selected research papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Control (CPS&C’2021) which was held from 29 June to 2 July 2021 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The CPS&C’2021 Conference continues the series of international conferences that began in 2019 when the first International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Control (CPS&C’2019) took place. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) considered a modern and rapidly emerging generation of systems with integrated wide computational, information processing, and physical capabilities that can interact with humans through many new modalities and application areas of implementation. The book...
Circuits and Systems for Wearable Technologies
This book is based on presentations given at the 2nd IEEE United Kingdom Circuits and Systems (UKCAS 2019) Workshop. It covers several advanced topics in the areas of semiconductor devices, circuits and systems, and energy harvesting; discussing their application in emerging implantable and wearable technologies and IoT. Notable application examples discussed include rapid infectious disease monitoring, in-situ tear fluid analysis, sleep engineering, chronic pain treatment, personalised anti-cancer therapy, foetus and neonate monitoring, monitoring of bone healing, orthopedic implants, magnetomyography and intelligent gesture recognition. Fundamental aspects of these topics are discussed, and state-of-the-art developments are presented.
Artificial Intelligence and Bioinspired Computational Methods
This book gathers the refereed proceedings of the Artificial Intelligence and Bioinspired Computational Methods Section of the 9th Computer Science On-line Conference 2020 (CSOC 2020), held on-line in April 2020. Artificial intelligence and bioinspired computational methods now represent crucial areas of computer science research. The topics presented here reflect the current discussion on cutting-edge hybrid and bioinspired algorithms and their applications.

Triboelectric Nanogenerators
This book introduces an innovative and high-efficiency technology for mechanical energy harvesting. The book covers the history and development of triboelectric nanogenerators, basic structures, working principles, performance characterization, and potential applications. It is divided into three parts: Part A illustrates the fundamental working modes of triboelectric nanogenerators with their prototype structures and theoretical analysis; Part B and Part C introduce two categories of applications, namely self-powered systems and self-powered active sensors. The book will be an ideal guide to scientists and engineers beginning to study triboelectric nanogenerators or wishing to deepen their knowledge of the field. Readers will be able to place the technical details about this technology in context, and acquire the necessary skills to reproduce the experimental setups for fabrication and measurement.
Cyber-Physical Systems and Control
This book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems and Control (CPS&C'2019), held in Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2019. The CPS&C'2019 was dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the partnership between Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Leibniz University of Hannover. Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are a new generation of control systems and techniques that help promote prospective interdisciplinary research. A wide range of theories and methodologies are currently being investigated and developed in this area to tackle various complex and challenging problems...
