“…As IoT develops in recent years, various sensors have been applied to everyday life and many industrial fields from distribution, traffic, infrastructure maintenance, medical care, healthcare, security, and disaster prevention. In the face of this technological tide, energy harvesting is expected to provide an independent power supply to sensor nodes by acquiring energy from the environment [1][2][3][4][5].…”

The movement of the creature and the almost wave in the ocean is a low vibration of random energy with a frequency range of 0.1-10 Hz. Because of its low frequency, the opinion has been that electrical energy generation from this low-frequency wave motion through the electromagnetic induction method is difficult. In this study, an electrical generator was created by the electromagnetic induction method by putting a small mass of ferromagnetic powder in nonmagnetic fluid. A broadband vibration energy harvesting model was created in which vibrations are broadened through a multi-degree of freedom oscillation system using ferromagnetic powder. To generate electricity from low-frequency vibrations (1 Hz or less), a non-resonant type model was created by adding fluid to the ferromagnetic powder model and the simulation results confirmed using computational fluid dynamics by creating a working energy harvesting device.

“… Energy harvesting RFID is normally used to provide power to read a passive tag but a continuous power supply for maintaining the regular sensing and the network connection is required. Technology for printed batteries is still in an early stage [ 108 ], energy harvesting techniques such as extracting ambient energy could be an alternative [ 109 ], and wireless charging can also be a good candidate supplying continuous power to the embedded electronics from a distance [ 110 ]. However, all these technologies are not yet mature enough for immediate implementation onto intelligent pharmaceutical packaging.…”

Enhancing Pharmaceutical Packaging through a Technology Ecosystem to Facilitate the Reuse of Medicines and Reduce Medicinal Waste

et al. 2020

Background: The idea of reusing dispensed medicines is appealing to the general public provided its benefits are illustrated, its risks minimized, and the logistics resolved. For example, medicine reuse could help reduce medicinal waste, protect the environment and improve public health. However, the associated technologies and legislation facilitating medicine reuse are generally not available. The availability of suitable technologies could arguably help shape stakeholders’ beliefs and in turn, uptake of a future medicine reuse scheme by tackling the risks and facilitating the practicalities. A literature survey is undertaken to lay down the groundwork for implementing technologies on and around pharmaceutical packaging in order to meet stakeholders’ previously expressed misgivings about medicine reuse (’stakeholder requirements’), and propose a novel ecosystem for, in effect, reusing returned medicines. Methods: A structured literature search examining the application of existing technologies on pharmaceutical packaging to enable medicine reuse was conducted and presented as a narrative review. Results: Reviewed technologies are classified according to different stakeholders’ requirements, and a novel ecosystem from a technology perspective is suggested as a solution to reusing medicines. Conclusion: Active sensing technologies applying to pharmaceutical packaging using printed electronics enlist medicines to be part of the Internet of Things network. Validating the quality and safety of returned medicines through this network seems to be the most effective way for reusing medicines and the correct application of technologies may be the key enabler.

We propose a low-cost wireless sensor node specifically designed to support modal analysis over extended periods of time with long-range connectivity at low power consumption. Our design uses very cost-effective MEMS accelerometers and exploits the Narrowband IoT protocol (NB-IoT) to establish long-distance connection with 4G infrastructure networks. Long-range wireless connectivity, cabling-free installation and multi-year lifetime are a unique combination of features, not available, to the best of our knowledge, in any commercial or research device. We discuss in detail the hardware architecture and power management of the node. Experimental tests demonstrate a lifetime of more than ten years with a 17000 mAh battery or completely energy-neutral operation with a small solar panel (60 mm x 120 mm). Further, we validate measurement accuracy and confirm the feasibility of modal analysis with the MEMS sensors: compared with a high-precision instrument based on a piezoelectric transducer, our sensor node achieves a maximum difference of 0.08% at a small fraction of the cost and power consumption. <br> <br>
