PROBLEMS OF DIGITALIZATION OF THE RUSSIAN INDUSTRY by Y. S. Bogachev, P. V. Trifonov, N. M. Abdikeev

“…Recommendations are given on the creation of an ecosystem structure, mechanisms for the interaction of its various elements, a management and coordination system based on digital technologies for creating a system of individual elements that form information and analytical centers in various functional areas of the ecosystem.A model of the ecosystem of industrial and technological development of the Russian economy based on digital technologies is proposed.A set of mechanisms that contribute to reducing the level of uncertainty is proposed, and a design method of interaction within the framework of the digital industrial enterprise technology platform model is described.The article formulates recommendations for the digitalization of an industrial enterprise in the new technological conditions of economic and social development, in the so-called new technological paradigm “Industry 4.0”, the characteristic features of which are minimal use of manual and mechanized labor, as well as a low level of transaction costs.A new approach is proposed, on the basis of which industrial enterprises will interact on the basis of shared access to information and digital resources and the ability to combine the development of innovative projects and value chains necessary to create competitive products in order to increase the operational efficiency of enterprises.…”

Sustainable power solutions for next-generation medical devices by Ye Liang, Chi Zhang, Rubing Lin, Junqing Lin, Jishizhan Chen

“…However, conventional battery technologies for these devices remain prevalent, and their constraints on longevity, size, and necessity for periodic replacement or recharging pose significant challenges, especially in implantable scenarios, presenting concerns regarding patient safety, healthcare costs, and device reliability. To address these issues, this review investigates alternative energy sources that tap into the intrinsic energy of the human body and delves into a range of promising energy harvesting techniques, including electromagnetic energy harvesting, ultrasound wireless power transfer (US-WPT), energy generation from tissue motion and heartbeats, utilization of body thermal gradients through thermoelectric generators (TEGs), and glucose oxidation within biofuel cells. …”
