摘要:
A device includes a wirelessly enabled energy harvesting device, an energy storage component, a DC-DC converter, and a functional circuit. The energy storage component is electrically coupled to the wirelessly enabled energy harvesting device for storing energy harvested by the wirelessly enabled energy harvesting device from a wireless transmitting device positioned adjacent to the device. The DC-DC converter is electrically coupled to the energy storage component for receiving a voltage output from the energy storage component and converting the received voltage output to a second voltage level to provide power to one or more components of the device. The functional circuit is for measuring a concentration of a substance in a fluid sample. The functional circuit is coupled to the DC-DC converter such that the functional circuit obtains at least a portion of the power provided by the DC-DC converter.

Buffer structures are provided that can be used to reduce a strain in a conformable electronic system that includes compliant components in electrical communication with more rigid device components. The buffer structures are disposed on, or at least partially embedded in, the conformable electronic system such that the buffer structures overlap with at least a portion of a junction region between a compliant component and a more rigid device component. The buffer structure can have a higher value of Young's modulus than an encapsulant of the conformable electronic system.

A system is provided for integrating conformal electronics devices into apparel. The system includes a flexible substrate onto which a flexible device is disposed. The flexible device can include a stretchable coil that can be used to receive and transmit near field communications. The flexible device also includes an integrated circuit component and a memory unit. In some examples, the device also includes a sensor that is configured to record measurement of the wearer of the apparel and/or the surrounding environment.

An example stretchable device is described that includes electrical contacts and an interconnect coupling the electrical contacts. The interconnect has a meander-shaped configuration that includes at least one nested serpentine-shaped feature. The interconnect can be conductive or non-conductive. The meander-shaped configuration can be a serpentine structure, providing a serpentine-in-serpentine configuration.

Apparatus are provided for monitoring a condition of a tissue based on a measurement of an electrical property of the tissue. In an example, the electrical property of the tissue is performed using an apparatus disposed above the tissue, where the apparatus includes at least two conductive structures, each having a non-linear configuration, where the at least two conductive structures are disposed substantially parallel to each other. In another example, the electrical property of the tissue is performed using an apparatus disposed above the tissue, where the apparatus includes at least one inductor structure.
