Shape optimization of non-uniform parametric piezoelectric energy harvester beam by Milad Hasani, Hossein Shahverdi

“…Results indicate that optimization significantly improves the power density of conventional cantilever piezoelectric beams, achieving high power outputs without the need for complex structures. Among the configurations, the quadratic PEH demonstrated the highest normalized power (31.31 mW/g²) and safety factor (13.79) in the linear region. …”

Integrated photonic programmable random matrix generator with minimal active components by Kevin Zelaya, Mostafa Honari-Latifpour, Mohammad-Ali Miri

“…In quantum information processing, random unitary operations are essential to boson sampling algorithms for multiphoton states in linear photonic circuits. Random operations are typically realized in photonic circuits through fixed disordered structures or through large meshes of interferometers with reconfigurable phase shifters, requiring a large number of active components. …”

Application of artificial muscle e-rubber for healthcare sensing: verification of measurement properties as a smart insole by Hidemasa Yoneda, Hidemasa Yoneda, Takashi Yamaga, Takeshi Fujiwara, Yoko Komori, Masatoshi Shimada, Yuki Kato, Shintaro Oyama, Shingo Shimoda, Michiro Yamamoto, Hitoshi Hirata

“…However, for the sensor embedded within the insole housing, the coefficient of variation increased to less than 8%, and the confidence interval was 1.5%, likely owing to the influence of gaps within the insole structure. Regarding the load estimation equation, a 5th-order polynomial approximation (R2 >0.999) demonstrated the best fit, indicating that it is sufficiently accurate for healthcare sensing applications. …”
