Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) are becoming increasingly popular in diabetes management compared to conventional methods of self-blood glucose monitoring systems. They help understanding physiological responses towards nutrition intake, physical activities in everyday life and glucose control. CGMS...
Everyday life demands reliable and affordable energy services, such as heating and cooling, electricity supply, and transport. The availability of energy is one of the most critical aspects to the development of any society since it enables the smooth functioning of all economic sectors, from busin...
The drawback of these conventional methods is the users must concentrate on the power-generating activities and this frequently results in short periods of focus. A longer duration of energy harvesting activity is only possible by harvesting the energy from everyday activities, and this will be ...
etc., have become an integral part of our daily lifestyle. All these technologies employ radiofrequency (RF) waves and everyone is exposed to them, since they are widespread in the environment. The increasing risk of male infertility is a growing concern to the human population. Excessive and ...
It makes sense, then, that hot objects give off a larger fraction of their energy at shorter wavelengths (higher energies) than do cool objects. You may have observed examples of this rule in everyday life. When a burner on an electric stove is turned on low, it emits only heat, which...
Compliant mechanisms can be found in everyday objects such as the single-piece plastic hinges in packaging as well as common all-metal binder clips. Outside of these simplified examples, why are compliant mechanisms desirable? For starters, compliant mechanisms can be made from a single material ...
The evolution of life on earth has lasted for billions of years, and various species have developed sensory systems or receptors that exploited energy of various forms in the environment, such as that of the visible light and the terrestrial heat. The electromagnetic energy from the universe and...
One reason is that the coils don't have to be physically connected to transfer energy. This has some useful applications that we'll look at a bit later. Another reason is that we can achieve a different voltage in the secondary coil simply by changing the number of turns. For example,...
Protecting sensitive electronic devices from unwanted electromagnetic radiation, as well as people from harmful radiation, is essential for proper device functionality and vital to the health and safety of people in their everyday lives [4]. EMI shielding fabrics can provide a flexible, lightweight,...
The development of modern civilization and rapid progress in electronics have made our everyday life much easier; however, this has resulted in new threats, such as exposure to electromagnetic fields. Protecting people against electromagnetic radiation has been the subject of scientific research for man...
