This paper provides a short review of sustainable hybrid energy harvesting and its applications. The potential usage of self-powered wireless sensor (WSN) systems has recently drawn a lot of attention to sustainable energy harvesting. The objective o...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are considered to be among the most important scientific domains. Yet, the exploitation of WSNs suffers from the severe energy restrictions of their electronic components. For this reason there are numerous scientific...

Functional safety is a key requirement in several application domains in which microprocessors are an essential part. A number of redundancy techniques have been developed with the common purpose of protecting circuits against single event upset (SEU...

In this paper, a novel dynamic body-driven ultra-low voltage (ULV) comparator is presented. The proposed topology takes advantage of the back-gate configuration by driving the input transistors’ gates with a clocked positive feedback loop made...

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...

This paper presents a systematic approach to extract electrical equivalent circuit model (ECM) parameters of the Li-ion battery (LIB) based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Particularly, the proposed approach is suitable to practical...

A generalized structure for implementing fractional-order controllers is introduced in this paper. This is achieved thanks to the consideration of the controller transfer function as a ratio of integer and non-integer impedances. The non-integer orde...

Smart lighting control systems represent an advanced approach to reducing energy use. These systems leverage advanced technology to provide users with better control over their lighting, allowing them to manually, remotely, and automatically modify t...

This paper presents a general method, called “self-parameterization”, for designing one-dimensional (1-D) chaotic maps that provide wider chaotic regions compared to existing 1-D maps. A wide chaotic region is a desirable property, as it...

Wireless sensor networks are at the center of scientific interest thanks to their ever-growing range of applications. The main weakness of wireless sensor networks is the restricted lifetime of their sensor nodes due to limited energy capacity. The e...
