TL;DR: The goal of the work is to focus on health-related applications of wireless sensor networks and how current (and future) technologies will enable automated home health monitoring.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical solution for the dynamic response of a discontinuous beam with one step change and an aligned neutral axis is provided. Butler et al. considered the case of free-free boundary conditions to obtain direct frequency response functions due to harmonic force or couple excitation at either end location, which is confirmed through a series of experimental tests and via comparison to receptance coupling methods.

TL;DR: The PicoCube is a 1 cm3 sensor node using harvested energy as its source of power and combines advanced ultra-low power circuit techniques with system-level power management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a new promising printing method, specifically developed to additively create microscale generators, for the mass production of thermoelectric generators to power medical devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the bifurcation behavior of a planar pendulum subjected to high-frequency parametric excitation along a tilted angle and found that small deviations from either a perfectly vertical or horizontal excitation will result in symmetry breaking bifurocations as opposed to pitchfork bifurbation.
