Abstract:
The present disclosure describes an optically powered transducer with a photovoltaic collector. An optical fiber power delivery method and system and a free space power delivery method are also provided. A fabrication process for making an optically powered transducer is further described, together with an implantable transducer system based on optical power delivery.
Abstract:
Novel methods and systems for wireless sensors are described. The systems can comprise an energy-harvesting unit, a transducer, and electronic control circuit, and an antenna. All elements can be integrated monolithically in a single system.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for molecular analysis are disclosed, based on centrifugation. A centrifuge device comprises strips of centrifuge tubes and elements to create a magnetic field. The magnetic shear forces applied to beads inside a solution with biological molecules permit the performance of different analytic techniques, such as lysis and sample preparation for PCR.
