DESCRIPTION:The automotive industry\, for instance\, uses semi-active and a
 ctive suspension systems to recover part of the vibration in the suspensio
 n and convert it into electrical energy.\n\nThis presentation will focus o
 n the discrete and integrated vibration interface circuits used to interfa
 ce to vibration harvesters.\nThis includes patented circuits developed in 
 180nm Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) to harvest from low v
 oltage\, low current vibration harvester outputs. Applications for vibrati
 on harvesting such as bridge-based harvesting\, animal-based harvesting\, 
 and human-based harvesting will be explored as well as the challenges in t
 he commercialization of vibration energy harvesting systems will be discus
 sed.\n\n[]\n\nCo-sponsored by: Waterloo Technical Society\n\nSpeaker(s): J
