This paper presents the design of two large-area active matrixes on foil for pressure and proximity sensing applications. Frontend circuits based on organic thin-film transistors on foil are laminated with screen-printed PDVF-TrFE piezo and pyro sensors to create the complete flexible sensing systems. After defining the specifications based on the application scenarios, and designing the frontend electronics, the performance of the two sensing surfaces has been investigated in simulation. Numerical results show a readout speed of 5kframe/s and 60dB of dynamic range with impact forces up to 100kN for the 6×10 pixel pressure sensing surface. 40 dB of dynamic range can be achieved with the proximity detector by integrating optical lenses and the pyroelectric sensor array with unambiguous pixel addressing circuitry which exploits organic TFTs.

The article describes a low-cost and open IoT platform for rural applications in developing countries. Using the latest low-power, long-range radio technologies and off-the-shelves components, the platform can be quickly deployed and customized for a large variery of rural applications. We present in the article how a low-cost IoT collar device especially addressing the cattle rustling issues can be built from the platform. The article then focuses on the antenna part by presenting how a low-cost integrated antenna design can increase the robustness of the IoT collar by avoiding external fragile parts while preserving a high transmission quality.

In this paper we investigate the neural activation of both bottom-up and top-down auditory pathways in rats by means of electrical stimulation. The electrical signals are generated by a bio-inspired sonar and processed by an electronic interface, thought to emulate the mammals biosonar. We stimulate the Inferior Colliculus and the Auditory Cortex through different signal patterns related to ultrasound echoes. In order to investigate neural response to stimuli, we perform Principal Component Analysis and spectral analysis on the electrocorticographic recordings. It is clear that neurons modulate their functional state in response to the external stimulus and its features, strongly highlighting that the electrical inputs are efficiently encoded by both ascending and descending acoustic fibers.

Neural interfaces are making it possible to record and stimulate brain activity at high spatiotemporal resolution, at the level of single neurons and across neural networks. In parallel, brain-inspired nano- and microelectronic devices and circuits are being developed that emulate functional properties of biological neurons and networks. Memristors, in particular, are promising candidates to emulate synapses in terms of transmission and signal processing capability. We show first evidence that memristors can be used to compress information of signals from biological neurons as recorded by high-resolution multielectrode arrays and discuss the perspective that these devices will serve as synaptic-like bioelectronic links between biological neurons and artificial counterparts in advanced brain-chip interfaces.

Clinical evaluation of electroencephalogram (EEG) is essential for monitoring the electrical activity present in the brain. In collusion with engineering advances, the movement towards portable, rapid and low-cost EEG acquisition and monitoring is growing. A low-cost and portable system for neonatal EEG is presented in this paper that aims to improve signal quality and robustness, while decreasing the preparation time and efforts required to complete a routine EEG recording. Several novel designs of dry, wet, active and passive electrodes are presented and compared with the standard EEG acquisition method using objective tests and subjective assessment by an epileptologist. It is shown that sufficient quality is achievable using dry setups, such as microneedle electrodes, with minimal patient preparation for the acquisition of clinical grade recordings.

The characterization of functionalized electrodes by means of cyclic voltammetry constitutes an important step in the development of an electrochemical based biosensors. Herein an electrolyte gated thin-film transistor (EG-TFT) setup is proposed to acquire both cyclic voltammograms and transistor transfer characteristics using a semiconductor parameter analyzer. The redox behavior of a probe is studied in such a setup using the gate electrode of the EG-TFT as working electrode and it is compared to a conventional three electrode electrochemical cell setup. The complementary techniques acquirable by the EG-TFT setup are used to investigate protein immobilization via self-assembled monolayers on the surface of gold working electrodes.

The automotive electronics market has increased steadily over the past several years even at times when the automobile market per se is not growing substantially. Indeed the per car electronics content is increasing at a fast pace. This is just the tip of the iceberg as we are entering the age of the “zero-accident car” with autonomous driving based on wireless and wired networks of powerful sensors (potentially including intelligent tires) and complex control algorithms implemented on a distributed computing platform. The key to this brave new world is the continuous evolution of the sensor component of the car electrical architecture. We will discuss the sensor design and manufacturing challenges to bring autonomous cars on the street. Albeit significant steps have been made in the technology base that sustains autonomous driving, massive algorithmic and integration problems loom here.

Real-time biosignal classification in power-constrained embedded applications is a key step in designing portable e-healtb devices requiring hardware integration along with concurrent signal processing. This paper presents an application based on a novel biomedical System-On-Chip (SoC) for signal acquisition and processing combining a homogeneous multi-core cluster with a versatile bio-potential front-end. The presented implementation acquires raw EMG signals from 3 passive gel-electrodes and classifies 3 hand gestures using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) pattern recognition algorithm. Performance matches state-of-the-art high-end systems both in terms of recognition accuracy (>S5%) and of real-time execution (gesture recognition time 300 ms). The power consumption of the employed biomedical SoC is below 10 mW, outperforming implementations on conunercial MCUs by a factor of 10, ensuring a battery life of up to 160 hours with a common Li-ion 1600 mAh battery.

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) embed HW/SW devices that implement controlling strategies of physical processes. Such strategies are usually designed as architecture agnostic mathematical models, that are unaware of constraints imposed by the embedded HW platform. As such, the developed strategy may be unable to control the actual system. This implies the need of cyber-physical virtual-platforms (VPs), where an abstract control algorithm can be refined up to its actual SW implementation. This speech investigates the main methodologies for extending standard embedded VPs to cyber-physical VPs that integrate continuous-time components, like sensors and analog interfaces. We examine the theoretical problem of integrating different models of computations and its practical solution through co-simulation, particularly based on the FMI/FMU standards. However, computational bottlenecks discourage in using co-simulation in real cases, thus more innovative solutions must be used, like the automatic abstraction of IP components. Such techniques are mature and well developed if applied to digital IPs, while they are in their infancy for analog IPs. However, the speech presents innovative and affective approaches in this field. Finally, a cyber-physical VP is also useful for checking and estimating extra-functional properties like power consumption, temperature, ageing and functional safety. This would require the integration of plenty of tools, or the generation of extra-functional models to be integrated in the same cyber-physical VP, which becomes the core tool for CPSs design, validation and optimization.
