This research paper presents the wireless data and power transfer system for optogenetics visual cortical prosthesis. The system uses the inductive coupling power transfer and 2.4GHz Bluetooth 4.0 data transfer. This system contains two hardware parts: the external headset consists of power and data transmitters, image capture, and image processing units; the subcutaneous implant PCB consists of power and data receiver and the control unit. We also present the relative image processing method for this system. The whole system could power and control the optogenetic neural stimulus of the

The applications of Federated Learning are many, and they can be used to predict electricity consumption and, at the same time, enable smart meters to collaboratively learn a shared model while keeping all their data locally in their own private database. With this approach, the central model will see more data and will work better to predict electricity consumption more accurately than the models trained on only one local Dataset. The planning of infrastructure, grid operation, and budgeting all depend on accurate load forecasting. As a result, this paper suggests federated learning for load

Optogenetic-based neuroprosthetic therapies are increasingly being considered for human trials. However, the optoelectronic design of clinical-grade optogenetic-based neuroprosthetic probes still requires some thought. Design constraints include light penetration into the brain, stimulation efficacy, and probe/tissue heating. Optimisation can be achieved through experimental iteration. However, this is costly, time-consuming and ethically problematic. Hence it is highly desirable to have an alternative to excessive animal trials. Thus, a simulation tool for optimising probe design can be an

In this work, gamma irradiation from a cobalt 60Co source was used to graft Copolymerize α-methyl styrene (AMS) onto Polyethersulfone (PES) films. Grafting reaction was performed at ambient temperature by simultaneous method applying different dose rates for a total absorbed dose of 30 kGy. The effects of reaction conditions including, dose rate, monomer concentration and absorbed dose on the grafting yield (DOG) were studied. Results showed that the grafting conditions influence considerably DOG. In addition, the depth understanding of the graft copolymerization reaction kinetics under

Multi-Secret Image Sharing (MSIS) systems share multiple images to multiple participants in unintelligible forms that can be recovered using all the shares. This paper employs the concept of progressive secret sharing with MSIS to introduce a new system, where the number of used shares in the recovery process defines the quality of the recovered secrets. The proposed system works for any number of secret color images, and is lossless when all the shares are present. The Lorenz chaotic system, which is numerically solved using Euler method, is used as source of randomness to encrypt the secret

Secret Image Sharing (SIS) transfers an image to mutually suspicious receivers as n meaningless shares, where k or more shares must be present to recover the secret. This paper proposes a (k, n)-SIS system for any image type using polynomial interpolation based on Lagrange polynomials, where the generated shares are of size 1/k of the secret image size. A full encryption system, consisting of substitution and permutation stages, is employed by using the generalized Tent map as a source of randomness. In addition to using a long and sensitive system key, steganography using the Least

Energy harvesting materials and systems have become a popular study topic that is rapidly expanding. The harvesters will be used for a variety of applications, including distributed wireless sensor nodes for structural health monitoring, embedded and implanted sensor nodes for medical applications, recharging large system batteries, monitoring pressure in automobiles, powering unmanned vehicles, and running security systems in domestic settings. Components and devices at micro-macro sizes, spanning materials, electronics, and integration, have recently been developed. Energy harvesting has

Air quality assessment has been discussed for urban environments with a high degree of industrialization, as they are infested with hazardous chemicals and airborne pollutants. The assessment is carried out by monitoring stations, that basically support limited areas while leaving large geographical areas uncovered. The expansion in the agriculture sector directed us towards air quality assessment on the farms. This is because research has shown that crops can be injured when exposed to high concentrations of various air pollutants, while also affecting farmers' health states. But those air

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is highly desirable for applications with battery restrictions, such as biomedical applications. For example, in the case of implantable devices, power is transmitted through the human body, which has dielectric characteristics that must be considered during the design of the WPT system. This paper examines capacitive power transfer through the human body and formulates the complete WPT system, including the human body model. The power delivered to the implantable device is also analyzed. Finally, the system efficiency is discussed under different body and load

We introduce a new chaotic system with nonhyperbolic equilibrium and study its sensitivity to different numerical integration techniques prior to implementing it on an FPGA. We show that the discretization method used in numerically integrating the set of differential equations in MATLAB and Mathematica does not yield chaotic behavior except when a low accuracy Euler method is used. More accurate higher-order numerical algorithms (such as midpoint and fourth-order Runge-Kutta) result in divergence in both MATLAB and Mathematica (but not Python), which agrees with the divergence observed in an
