Download or read book Energy Autonomy of Batteryless and Wireless Embedded Systems written by Jean-Marie Dilhac and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy Autonomy of Batteryless and Wireless Embedded Systems covers the numerous new applications of embedded systems that are envisioned in the context of aeronautics, such as sensor deployment for flight tests or for structural health monitoring. However, the increasing burden of on-board cabling requires wireless solutions. Moreover, concerns such as safety or system lifetime preclude the use of electrochemical energy storage. Ambient energy capture, storage and management are therefore key topics. This book presents these concepts and illustrates them through actual implementations in airliners. With five years of experience within this specialist field, the authors present results from actual flight tests via a partnership with Airbus. Basic concepts are summarized, together with practical implementations in airliners, enriching the book through the very specific aspects related to embedded systems deployed in aircraft. This book will appeal to both students and practising engineers in the field. - Features a complete study of the energy management architecture, from general concepts to specific applications - Presents results from thorough studies on electrostatic energy storage - Provides hands-on consideration of industrial implementations in airliners, specifically in harsh environments - Includes actual results obtained from flight tests

Download or read book Flash Memory Integration written by Jalil Boukhobza and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4 zettabytes (4 billion terabytes) of data generated in 2013, 44 zettabytes predicted for 2020 and 185 zettabytes for 2025. These figures are staggering and perfectly illustrate this new era of data deluge. Data has become a major economic and social challenge. The speed of processing of these data is the weakest link in a computer system: the storage system. It is therefore crucial to optimize this operation. During the last decade, storage systems have experienced a major revolution: the advent of flash memory. Flash Memory Integration: Performance and Energy Issues contributes to a better understanding of these revolutions. The authors offer us an insight into the integration of flash memory in computer systems, their behavior in performance and in power consumption compared to traditional storage systems. The book also presents, in their entirety, various methods for measuring the performance and energy consumption of storage systems for embedded as well as desktop/server computer systems. We are invited on a journey to the memories of the future. - Ideal for computer scientists, featuring low level details to concentrate on system issues - Tackles flash memory aspects while spanning domains such as embedded systems and HPC - Contains an exhaustive set of experimental results conducted in the Lab-STICC laboratory - Provides details on methodologies to perform performance and energy measurements on flash storage systems

Download or read book ESD Protection Methodologies written by Marise Bafleur and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failures caused by electrostatic discharges (ESD) constitute a major problem concerning the reliability and robustness of integrated circuits and electronic systems. This book summarizes the many diverse methodologies aimed at ESD protection and shows, through a number of concrete studies, that the best approach in terms of robustness and cost-effectiveness consists of implementing a global strategy of ESD protection. ESD Protection Methodologies begins by exploring the various normalized test techniques that are used to qualify ESD robustness as well as characterization and defect localization methods aimed at implementing corrective measures. Due to the increasing complexity of integrated circuits, it is important to be able to provide a simulation in which the implemented ESD protection strategy provides the desired protection, while not harming the performance levels of the circuit. Therefore, the main features and difficulties related to the different types of simulation, finite element, SPICE-type and behavioral, are then studied. To conclude, several case studies are presented which provide real-life examples of the approaches explained in the previous chapters and validate a number of the strategies from component to system level. - Provides a global ESD protection approach from component to system, including both the proposal of investigation techniques and predictive simulation methodologies - Addresses circuit and system designers as well as failure analysis engineers - Provides the description of specifically developed investigation techniques and the application of the proposed methodologies to real case studies

Download or read book Flexible Sensors for Energy Harvesting Applications written by Anindya Nag and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the fabrication of different types of flexible sensors and their subsequent implementation for energy-harvesting applications. A range of techniques, including 3D printing, soft lithography, laser ablation, micro-contract printing, screen-printing, inkjet printing and others have been used to form the flexible sensors with varied characteristics. These sensors have been used for biomedical, environmental and healthcare applications on the basis of their performances. The quality of these flexible sensors has depended on certain types of nanomaterials that have been used to synthesize the conductive parts of the prototypes. These nanomaterials have been based on different sizes and shapes, whose quality varied on the basis of certain factors like crystallinity, shapes and sizes. One of the primary utilization of these nanotechnology-based flexible sensors has been the harvesting of energy where nano-generators and nano-harvesters have been formed to generate and store energy, respectively, on small and moderate magnitudes. Mechanical and thermal energies have been harvested on the basis of the piezoelectric, pyroelectric and triboelectric effects created by the formed prototypes. The work highlights the amalgamation of these sectors to spotlight the essence of these types of sensors and their intended application.
