This paper presents a 10-bit successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter with energy-efficient low-complexity switching scheme, automatic ON/OFF comparator and automatic ON/OFF SAR logic for biomedical applications. The energy-efficient switching scheme achieves an average digital-to-analog converter switching energy of 63.56 , achieving a reduction of 95.34% compared with the conventional capacitor switching scheme for CDACs. With the switching scheme, the ADC can lower the dependency on the accuracy of and complexity of DAC control logic and DAC driver circuit. Moreover, dynamic circuits and automatic ON/OFF technology are used to reduce power consumption of comparator and SAR logic. The prototype is designed and fabricated in a 180 nm CMOS with a core size of 500 μm × 300 μm (0.15 mm). It consumes 7.6 nW at 1 kS/s sampling rate and 1.8-V supply with an achieved signal-to-noise-and distortion ratio of 45.90 dB and a resulting figure of merit of 51.7 fJ/conv.-step.

Rapid temperature contrast hydrotherapy by water immersion has been utilized by athletes for effective sports recovery. However, its application at some training or competition venues is limited by high water consumption, bucky size, personal hygiene, and inconvenience. Here, a novel portable system equipped with highly effective, lightweight, and hygienic wearable fluidic fabric device is reported, that replaces direct water immersion.

Parity-time symmetry is a fundamental concept in non-Hermitian physics that has recently gained attention for its potential in engineering advanced electronic systems and achieving robust wireless power transfer even in the presence of disturbances, through the incorporation of nonlinearity. However, the current parity-time-symmetric scheme falls short of achieving the theoretical maximum efficiency of wireless power transfer and faces challenges when applied to non-resistive loads. In this study, we propose a theoretical framework and provide experimental evidence demonstrating that asymmetric resonance, based on dispersive gain, can greatly enhance the efficiency of wireless power transfer beyond the limits of symmetric approaches.

The study presents an intelligent, model-free current control strategy that eliminates the need for explicit plant models while efficiently reducing the effect of plant parameter perturbation. By employing a data-driven approach with fewer input features, the proposed scheme reduces the computational burden during training while maintaining high control performance. Unlike conventional model predictive current control (MPCC), which is computationally expensive because of solving optimization problems at each sample time, and requires precise plant models, the proposed method enhances system performance by addressing plant model discrepancies through data-driven techniques.

Objective: While myoelectric control has been commercialized in prosthetics for decades, its adoption for more general human-machine interaction has been slow. Although high accuracies can be achieved across many gestures, current control approaches are prone to false activations in real-world conditions. This is because the same electromyogram (EMG) signals generated during the elicitation of gestures are also naturally activated when performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as when driving to work or while typing on a keyboard.

Viruses are elegant macromolecular assemblies and constitute a paradigm of the economy of genomic resources; they must use simple general principles to complete their life cycles successfully. Viruses need only one or a few different capsid structural subunits to build an infectious particle, which is possible for two reasons: extensive use of symmetry and built-in conformational flexibility. Although viruses come in many shapes and sizes, two major symmetric assemblies are found: icosahedral and helical.
