RF power saving system for smart homes.

In this work the investigation results of harvesting the RF energy of a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal for supply of smart home leak sensors network are presented. The collected RF energy has been used as an additional source to power the sensors.

Exploring the Limits of Early Predictive Maintenance in Wind Turbines Applying an Anomaly Detection Technique.

The aim of the presented investigation is to explore the time gap between an anomaly appearance in continuously measured parameters of the device and a failure, related to the end of the remaining resource of the device-critical component. In this investigation, we propose a recurrent neural network to model the time series of the parameters of the healthy device to detect anomalies by comparing the predicted values with the ones actually measured. An experimental investigation was performed on SCADA estimates received from different wind turbines with failures.

Microwave Analysis of Scattered and Absorbed Powers of Semiconductor and Metamaterial Cylinder Structures.

Here is presented our numerical investigations based on the rigorous solution of the Maxwell's equations for analyses of absorbed and scattered powers of a semiconductor-metamaterial array with a window defect. The array structure consists of a finite set of infinite parallel, circular cylinders that can be made of the different lossy and/or lossless isotropic materials. We used our developed computer code, which allowed us to consider an array consisting of an arbitrary number of cylinders.
