Broadband Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Adaptive Frequency Tuning
TS-070970 — The Need
Many vibration-based energy harvesting systems are limited by narrow operational frequency bands, making them inefficient for environments where excitation frequencies drift—such as in bridges, machinery, or vehicles. Current solutions often sacrifice energy density to broaden bandwid…

A Model Based Assessment Approach and an Automation Environment for Qualification of Embedded Digital Devices
TS-042856 — A Framework and Automatization process designed to determine the functionality of Embedded Digital Devices.
As our technology becomes increasingly complex, so does the quantity and variation of the Embedded Digital Device [EDD] components that are required within the project. Because not every device is made perfectly to specifications due to a propagation of random error, it is important to have a dive…
