Towards Wireless Implantable Pressure Sensor to Monitor Compartment Syndrome in Trauma Victims

Wang Y., Allen C., AL-Qahtani S., Merdassi A., Chodavarapu V.P., Harvey E., Henderson J., McGill Universiy, CA

We describe a simple, miniature, wireless device that can accurately measure pressure fluctuations in the limb compartments of patients at risk of developing ACS. We plan to use temporary indwelling, direct pressure sensors consisting of [...]

Energy Conversion according to Impact loading on Piezoelectric material

Lee J., Kim T., Choi B., Sogang University, KR

Energy harvesting using piezoelectric material has been one of the hottest interests in powering wireless sensor nodes without maintenance and replacement of wired or battery power system in ubiquitous era. Unlike most of the previous [...]

Overview of Miniature Energy Harvesting Technologies

Sano K., Omron Silicon Valley, US

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are expected as the key to realize Ubiquitous Sensor Networks (USN). Some examples of potential early adopters of WSN applications include smart buildings, environmental monitoring, and physical security. However, a key [...]
