This paper discusses the technological prospects for creating a field emitter array for the efficient conversion of electron energy to X-ray radiation in a portable X-ray source. Fabrication process of a field emission array and X-ray transparent beryllium membrane is proposed. Three-dimensional model of field emission array combined with beryllium membrane was created in COMSOL Multiphysics. Dependence of X-ray conversion coefficient vs. voltage between a field-emission array and beryllium membrane was calculated and dependence of electron energy vs. electron beam radius was obtained as a result of electron transport simulation.

This paper proposes an interface circuit for a frequency up conversion piezoelectric energy harvester with OPAMP as core controller, which can increase output power by over 400% compared with full bridge circuit. Because of differential amplification characteristics of OPAMP, the failure of traditional logic gates zero-crossing detection circuit in low voltage is overcome. The advantage of frequency up conversion energy harvester is suitable for wide frequency bands, but output waveform is attenuating and oscillating, making circuit design difficult to detect zero-crossing point, causing low power efficiency. Innovations include: (1) Theoretical modeling method of frequency up conversion energy harvester (2) Power management circuit design method suitable for frequency up conversion energy harvester is proposed for the first time. Using OPAMP, control logic is effective in the case of harvester output attenuating and oscillating and current is low. (3) Method about how to choose device parameters.

We report the design, fabrication, and characterization of the first fully 3D-printed, multi-material, magnetically driven, valve-less miniature liquid pumps in the literature. Extending our work on 3D-printed liquid pumps [1] and magnetic actuators [2], the new devices are driven by a rotating magnet and employ valve-less diffusers [3]. Our leak-tight, miniature liquid pumps are microfabricated using 150 $mu$ m layers in pure Nylon 12 and NdFeB-embedded Nylon 12 via fused filament fabrication (FFF) [4] –an inexpensive additive manufacturing method for thermoplastics capable of monolithically creating multi-material objects. The fabrication of the pumps employs a novel multi-material printing process that monolithically creates all features with <13 $mu$ m in-plane misalignment. The new pumps occupy 4.3X less volume than our FFF printed embedded magnet pumps, while sustaining 20% larger flow rates and actuating 14X faster [1].

In this paper, an efficient wind energy harvester (WEH) which simultaneously possesses both the advantages of simple structure and easy manufacture is designed. Proved by the simulation results, the WEH with air outlet at the top side not only effectively increases the rotational speed of the turbine but also obviously enhances the rotation stability of the blades, which eventually turn to improve the output performance of the device. According to experimental analysis, when the wind speed is 15 m/s, the proposed WEH can generate maximum output power of 40.7 mW, with corresponding power density of 0.3 mW/cm3. Last but not least, integrated with a switch-controlled circuit module and a low-powered angle sensor module, a self-powered wireless sensor node (WSN) is successfully established.

Coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) has been widely used for near-field high-efficiency WPT applications. However, the efficiency of the WPT link is highly sensitive to separation and alignment, and is prone to over-coupling, making it unsuitable for mobile systems with unknown or loose coupling such as wearables. While ultra-high frequency (UHF) and microwave radiative WPT (0.3-3 GHz) enables meters-long separation between the transmitter and the receiver, free space propagation losses, and rectification inefficiencies, adversely limit the end-to-end efficiency of the WPT link. This work proposes radiative WPT, in the 6.78 MHz license-free band, based on resonant electrically small antennas fabricated using embroidered textile coils, tuned using L-matching networks. The proposed WPT system achieves a stable forward transmission of $mathrm{S}_{21} gt$ – 17 dB and $mathrm{S}_{21} gt$ – 28 dB, independent of coil, separation on the XZ and XY planes respectively, in a $27 mathrm{m}^{3}$ volume space. The presented approach demonstrates the highest WPT-link efficiency, and promises higher end-to-end efficiency, compared to UHF WPT.

A triboelectric interacting patch with only four sensing electrodes is presented as flexible and multifunctional human-machine interface for the detection of various human-machine interactions. By leveraging the predefined operation areas, position detection under finger operations can be achieved through the output relationship of the four electrodes. The accurate sensing capability of the triboelectric patch is compatible with common finger motions such as finger tapping and sliding, opening up broad application in various interacting areas, e.g., writing interface, security code system, intuitive intelligent control, virtual/augmented reality, and robotics, etc.

This research presents a flexible, low cost ferroelectret integrated into a piece of ordinary textile. The textile ferroelectret is made of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)-ZnO (Zinc oxide) nanoparticle mixture that spin cast on both side of a textile. The PDMS-ZnO textile ferroelectret achieved 55% piezoelectric coefficient d33 remaining, compared with 35% of pure PDMS textile ferroelectret. The measured piezoelectric coefficient d33 of the PDMS-ZnO textile ferroelectret is maintained at 220 pC/N after two weeks.

We report novel, low-cost, high-temperature compatible, high-pressure compatible, and chemically resistant 3D printed microfluidics suitable for microreactors, heat exchangers, and other PowerMEMS applications. The devices are manufactured via silver clay extrusion; optimization of the printing method results in linearity between printed and computer-aided design (CAD) features, with ~11% (printed positive features, i.e. solid) and ~12% (printed negative features, i.e. voids) shrinking from CAD values after firing. Printed gaps as narrow as 200 μm were demonstrated, which are adequate to implement closed-channel microfluidics. A proof-of-concept microreactor that decomposes hydrogen peroxide was designed, fabricated, and characterized, demonstrating 86% efficiency with initial 30% hydrogen peroxide (w/w) in water concentration.

Growing interest in outer space exploration with the use of small scale (1-10 kg), so called, CubeSat nanosatellites can be recently observed. Special attention is paid here mainly to the investigation of widely understandable life development in diverse and harsh space environments [1] –[3]. Application of a miniature lab-on-chip (LOC) instrumentation in this regard appears to be reasonable solution to conduct different and relatively inexpensive biomedical tests in microgravity. As a response, this work presents a multi-functional and full-featured LOC platform ready for the integration with the dedicated nanosatellite system.

Fuel cell-based self-powered electrochemical sensors have attracted considerable attention because contrary to conventional electrochemical sensors, they do not need external power supplies and complex devices due to they operate through the use of electrical output as sensing signal provided by redox reactions in fuel cells. Creatinine has been considered as an indicator of renal function specifically after dialysis, thyroid malfunction and muscle damage. The development of a suitable catalytic material for creatinine sensing able to generate electrical energy from its oxidation is still a challenge. Creatinine can form complexes with different transition metals due to the number of binding sites that coordinate with the metal donor groups such as copper. However, Cu suffers fast oxidation under environmental conditions and thus, the development of Cu alloys is needed. In this work, we developed an electrode with a catalytic ink containing a CuAg bimetallic material as an electrocatalyst for creatinine oxidation. The electrode was evaluated in a fuel cell and creatinine sensing.
