Implantable devices are becoming popular with the improvements of nanotechnology. The implants require huge amount of power for operation within limited volume. This power requirement can be satisfied by implantable batteries. However, the limited energy of batteries restricts their lifetime, so they need to be recharged for long lasting operation. The charging operation can be done wirelessly with RF coils. These coils offer certain advantages over other wireless power transmission techniques such as high-power transmission and lower area occupancy. In this thesis, an interface circuit for wireless power transmission in RF domain is designed. The interface circuit is responsible for charging the rechargeable battery which is used to power up the implantabledevices. For that purpose, a magnet free coil pair is designed, and extended coupling range multi-mode rectifier circuits are implemented. One of the rectifier circuits is named as double mode rectifier. The maximum power conversion efficiency of double mode rectifier is 72.4% for high coupling levels(voltage mode operation) and 38.6% for low coupling levels (current mode operation)while charging a 3.3V load. Inthe improved version of double mode rectifier, which is triple mode rectifier circuit, the maximum power conversion efficiency of each operation mode is 51.78%, 82.49% and 89.34% forlow coupling viratios(current mode),middle couplings(half wave mode)and high coupling ratios (voltage mode)respectively while charging a 3.3 V load.

Energy-Aware Data Delivery Framework for Safety-Oriented Mobile IoT Al-Turjman, Fadi (2018-01-01) The proliferation of wireless multimedia sensor networks has given rise to intelligent transportation systems as a mobile data-sharing model. This vision can be extended under the umbrella of the mobile Internet of Things to include versatile resources, such as smartphones, radio frequency identification tags, and sensors on roads that can be utilized in emergency situations. The facilitation of such a vision faces key challenges in terms of interoperability, resource management and energy consumption. In t...
Lithium-intercalation oxides for rechargeable batteries Ceder, Gerbrand; VanderVen, Anton; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1998-09-01) Since the introduction of the LixC/LiCoO2 cell, rechargeable lithium batteries have become the technology of choice for applications where volume or weight are a consideration (e.g., laptop computers and cell phones). The focus of current research in cathode-active materials is on less-expensive or higher-performance materials than LiCoO2. This article illustrates how first-principles calculations can play a critical role in obtaining the understanding needed to design improved cathode oxides.
Sensitivity improvement strategies and applications for flexible and wearable capacitive pressure sensors Çiçek, Melih Ögeday; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Çınar, Simge; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-8) Pressure sensors have attracted great interest in parallel with developments in wearable electronics, robotics, human-machine interface devices, and electronic skin. In this field, capacitive pressure sensors are gaining increasing research attention due to their high sensitivity, high stability, fast response/recovery times, and simple manufacturing routes. While capacitive pressure sensors have prominent features, there is still a long way to go before they become more common in wearable technology. Incre...
Enablers for IoT regarding Wearable Medical Devices to Support Healthy Living: The Five Facets Değerli, Mustafa; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (Springer Nature, 2021-01-01) Wearables, body sensor networks, ambient, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are currently fairly popular in health-related researches and practices. Definitely, wearable technologies are a central fragment of the IoT. Moreover, wearables are becoming more ubiquitous, and they have noteworthy functions and benefits for healthy living and aging. In this context, the success of wearable medical devices is important. Nevertheless, the current understanding in this field needs enhancements. Hence, the au...
Single Supply PWM Fully Implantable Cochlear Implant Interface Circuit with Active Charge Balancing Yigit, H. Andac; Ulusan, Hasan; Koc, Mert; Yüksel, Muhammed Berat; Chamanian, Salar; Külah, Haluk (2021-01-01) Low powered fully implantable cochlear implants (FICIs) untangle the aesthetic concerns and battery replacement problems of conventional cochlear implants. However, the reported FICIs lack proper charge balancing and require multiple external supplies to operate. In this work, a complete low power FICI interface circuit is designed that operates with a single supply and uses short-pulse-injection method for charge balancing. The system takes input from multi-channel piezoelectric transducers and stimulates ...
