Implantable neural recording and stimulation devices hold great promise in monitoring and treatment of neurological disorders, limb reanimation and, development of brain-computer interfaces among other applications. However, transcutaneous wires limit the lifetime of such devices and there is a need for self-contained fully implantable solutions. In this work, we propose a novel dual-frequency approach...
A dual-band wireless neural stimulation device with high frequency (HF) wireless power transfer (WPT) at 13.56MHz and ultra high frequency (UHF) backscatter communication (BSC) at 915MHz is presented. Neural interfaces hold great promise in the development of future treatment/therapy for debilitating neurological disorders, spinal cord damage, and loss of limb function. Most state-of-the-art wireless...
Robotic grasping has been hindered by the inability of robots to perceive unstructured environments. Because these environments can be complex or dynamic, it is important to obtain additional and precise sensing information just before grasping. This paper expands upon the pretouch modality by introducing a transmissive optical sensor. It can unambiguously indicate the presence or lack of objects...
Wireless charging standards for consumer devices include specifications for charging multiple receive devices simultaneously. However if the devices are not all the same size or if they require different amounts of power, these existing standards may be incapable of charging multiple devices efficiently. This paper provides an overview of a complete wireless power transfer system that is capable of...
Tissue heating is a key safety consideration in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. Heating is regulated in the form of specific absorption rate (SAR) limitations to prevent dangerous conditions when wireless power transfer is used in proximity to people. Implanted biomedical devices which depend on wireless power transfer for their operation are particularly of interest, as a high potential for...
Wireless battery charging has been incorporated into an increasing number of commercial electronics with power requirements ranging from a few milliwatts to several hundred watts. With this growing number of deployed devices, there is a necessity to quickly locate and charge them individually. Conventional localization techniques either require intelligence and extra hardware or are limited to merely...
The UAVSAR instrument, employing an L-band actively electronically scanned antenna, had its genesis in the ESTO Instrument Incubator Program and after 3 years of development has begun collecting engineering and science data. System design was motivated by solid Earth applications where repeat pass radar interferometry can be used to measure subtle deformation of the surface, however flexibility and...
