[IEEE 2018 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS) - Cleveland, OH, USA (2018.10.17-2018.10.19)] 2018 IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS) - Battery-Free. Sticker-Like, Device for Health Monitoring, Operated by Optical Power Transfer
摘要： This work presents the concept of a battery-free, sticker-like, device for a non-invasive health-monitoring sensor. The device consists of two functional blocks: an optical power-transfer block and an amperometric measurement block. The former accumulates power from a series-connected photovoltaic cell in a capacitor and intermittently supplies the power to the amperometric measurement circuit. This circuit is driven by powering pulses and displays the amperometric current as the durations of the light pulses from a light-emitting diode. The function of the circuit was successfully demonstrated through simulations, in which the equivalent circuit of an electrochemical glucose sensor was used as an example. The simulation results showed that the proposed device would work as expected for a variety of glucose concentrations at an oxidation voltage of 0.8 V.

[ACM Press the 24th Annual International Conference - New Delhi, India (2018.10.29-2018.11.02)] Proceedings of the 24th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking - MobiCom '18 - Battery-Free Eye Tracker on Glasses
摘要： This paper presents a battery-free wearable eye tracker that tracks both the 2D position and diameter of a pupil based on its light absorption property. With a few near-infrared (NIR) lights and photodiodes around the eye, NIR lights sequentially illuminate the eye from various directions while photodiodes sense spatial patterns of reflected light, which are used to infer pupil’s position and diameter on the fly via a lightweight inference algorithm. The system also exploits characteristics of different eye movement stages and adjusts its sensing and computation accordingly for further energy savings. A prototype is built with off-the-shelf hardware components and integrated into a regular pair of glasses. Experiments with 22 participants show that the system achieves 0.8-mm mean error in tracking pupil position (2.3 mm at the 95th percentile) and 0.3-mm mean error in tracking pupil diameter (0.9 mm at the 95th percentile) at 120-Hz output frame rate, consuming 395μW mean power supplied by two small, thin solar cells on glasses side arms.

High-Performance Photovoltaic Hydrogen Sensing Platform with a Light-Intensity Calibration Module
摘要： Although battery-free gas sensors (e.g., photovoltaic, or triboelectric sensors) have been recently appeared to resolve the power consumption issue of conventional chemiresistors, severe technical barriers remain. Especially, their signals varying with ambient conditions such as light intensity confines the utilization of the sensors. Insufficient sensing performances (low response and slow sensing rate) of the previous battery-free sensors are also an obstacle for practical use. Herein, a photovoltaic hydrogen (H2) sensing platform having constant sensing responses regardless of light condition is demonstrated. The platform consists of two photovoltaic units: (1) a palladium (Pd)-decorated n-IGZO/p-Si photodiode covered with a microporous zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) film and (2) the same device configuration without the Pd catalyst as a reference to calibrate the base current of the sensor (1). The platform after calibration yields accurate response values in real-time regardless of unknown irradiance. Besides, the sensing performances (e.g., sensing response of 1.57 × 104% at 1% H2 with a response time < 15 s) of our platform is comparable with those of the conventional resistive H2 sensors, which are unprecedented results in photovoltaic H2 sensors.

[ACM Press the 17th ACM Workshop - Redmond, WA, USA (2018.11.15-2018.11.16)] Proceedings of the 17th ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks - HotNets '18 - Connecting Battery-free IoT Tags Using LED Bulbs
摘要： We introduce BackVLC, a system to connect battery-free IoT tags using LED bulbs. We make use of bulbs beyond illumination. We send data to the tags with visible light communication (VLC), and retrofit the bulbs with simple circuitry to enable the uplink channel current VLC systems lack, using Radio Frequency (RF) backscatter communication from the tags. Tags process and send data, harvesting energy from light and radio. We present our system design and implementation, evaluate it in preliminary simulation studies and experiments, and discuss the research challenges to develop a complete network architecture. BackVLC is the first work that combines VLC with RF backscatter.

Wireless, battery-free, flexible, miniaturized dosimeters monitor exposure to solar radiation and to light for phototherapy
摘要： Exposure to electromagnetic radiation can have a profound impact on human health. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun causes skin cancer. Blue light affects the body’s circadian melatonin rhythm. At the same time, electromagnetic radiation in controlled quantities has beneficial use. UV light treats various inflammatory skin conditions, and blue light phototherapy is the standard of care for neonatal jaundice. Although quantitative measurements of exposure in these contexts are important, current systems have limited applicability outside of laboratories because of an unfavorable set of factors in bulk, weight, cost, and accuracy. We present optical metrology approaches, optoelectronic designs, and wireless modes of operation that serve as the basis for miniature, low-cost, and battery-free devices for precise dosimetry at multiple wavelengths. These platforms use a system on a chip with near-field communication functionality, a radio frequency antenna, photodiodes, supercapacitors, and a transistor to exploit a continuous accumulation mechanism for measurement. Experimental and computational studies of the individual components, the collective systems, and the performance parameters highlight the operating principles and design considerations. Evaluations on human participants monitored solar UV exposure during outdoor activities, captured instantaneous and cumulative exposure during blue light phototherapy in neonatal intensive care units, and tracked light illumination for seasonal affective disorder phototherapy. Versatile applications of this dosimetry platform provide means for consumers and medical providers to modulate light exposure across the electromagnetic spectrum in a way that can both reduce risks in the context of excessive exposure and optimize benefits in the context of phototherapy.
