SkinAid: A Wirelessly Powered Smart Dressing Solution for Continuous Wound-Tracking Using Textile-Based Frequency Modulation.

In this article, SkinAid, a battery-free, low-cost, robust, and user-friendly smart bandage for electrochemical monitoring and sensing of chronic wounds is proposed. The working principle of the bandage is based on direct frequency modulation of a tri-electrode electrochemical sensing of wound data. The electronics and biotelemetry links were realized using low-cost manufacturing process of textile embroidery onto fabric substrate.

Generation of vector vortex wave modes in cylindrical waveguides.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate Vector Vortex Modes (VVM) inside a metallic cylindrical waveguide at microwave frequencies and demonstrate the experimental validation of the concept. Vector vortex modes of EM waves can carry both spin and orbital angular momentum as they propagate within a tubular medium. The existence of such waves in tubular media can be beneficial to wireless communication in such structures.

Adhoc mobile power connectivity using a wireless power transmission grid.

Wireless charging of devices has significant outcomes for mobile devices, IoT devices and wearables. Existing technologies consider using Point to Point type wireless transfer from a transmitter Tx (node that is sending Power) to a receiver Rx (node that receives power), which limits the area of coverage for devices. As a result, existing systems are forced to use near field coupling to charge such devices.
