Harvesting energy for IoT nodes in places that are permanently poorly lit is important, as many such places exist in buildings and other locations. The need for energy-autonomous devices working in such environments has so far received little attenti...

The creation of sustainable power sources for wearable electronics and self-powered systems is a promising direction of modern electronics. At the moment, a search for functional materials with high values of piezoelectric coefficient and elasticity,...

Throughout the last decades, neuromorphic circuits have incited the interest of scientists, as they are potentially a powerful tool for the treatment of neurological diseases. To this end, it is essential to consider the biological principles of the...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

This contribution addresses the numerical optimization of the harvested energy of a mechanically and electrically nonlinear and nonideal piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) under triangular shock-like excitation, taking into account a nonlinear stre...

Reliability is a fundamental requirement in microprocessors that guarantees correct execution over their lifetimes. The reliability-related design rules depend on the process technology and device operating conditions. To meet reliability requirement...

The high mortality rate associated with cardiac abnormalities highlights the need of accurately detecting heart disorders in the early stage so to avoid severe health consequence for patients. Health trackers have become popular in the form of wearab...

The execution of machine learning (ML) algorithms on resource-constrained embedded systems is very challenging in edge computing. To address this issue, ML accelerators are among the most efficient solutions. They are the result of aggressive archite...

A comparative study of one-stage-amp performance improvement based on simulations in 22 nm, 45 nm, 90 nm, and 180 nm in deep submicrometer CMOS technologies is discussed. Generic SPICE models were used to simulate the circuits. It is shown that in al...

The implementation of a fully-differential (FD) instrumentation amplifier (IA), based on indirect current feedback (ICF) and aimed to electrical impedance measurements in an Internet of Things (IoT) biomedical scenario, is presented. The IA consists...
