    Abstract: A method for forming a unique, environmentally-friendly energy harvesting element is provided. A configuration of the energy harvesting element causes the energy harvesting element to autonomously generate renewable energy for use in electronic systems, electronic devices and electronic system components. The energy harvesting element includes a first conductor layer, a low work function layer, a dielectric layer, and a second conductor layer that are particularly configured in a manner to promote electron migration from the low work function layer, through the dielectric layer, to the facing surface of the second conductor layer in a manner that develops an electric potential between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer. An energy harvesting component is also provided that includes a plurality of energy harvesting elements electrically connected to one another to increase a power output of the electric harvesting component.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a micromechanical component (1) and a method for producing a micromechanical component (1). The proposed micromechanical component (1) comprises a layered structure and at least one piezoelectric element (10). The piezoelectric element (10) contains a first electrode (5) and second electrode (27) for generating and/or detecting deflections of a deflection element (16). The deflection element (16) is connected to a holder (17). The layered structure of the micromechanical component (1) comprises a silicon substrate (2), a conductive semiconductor layer (26), a piezoelectric layer (7) and a conductive layer film (12). The conductive semiconductor layer (26) forms the first electrode (5) and the conductive layer film (12) forms the second electrode (27) of the piezoelectric element, wherein the conductive semiconductor layer (26) at the same time forms a carrier layer (28) for the deflection element (16).

    Abstract: An operating device for a human powered vehicle comprises a base member, a first operating member, a piston, and an electric generator. The base member includes a cylinder bore. The first operating member is configured to be movably coupled to the base member between a first rest position and a first operated position. The piston is configured to be movably provided in the cylinder bore and to be pulled in response to a movement of the first operating member from the first rest position toward the first operated position. The electric generator is configured to generate electric power in accordance with a physical change applied to the operating device.
