Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an ambient backscatter circuit arranged to generate a varying circuit reflection coefficient. The ambient backscatter circuit comprises: a modulation member; a switching device in electrical communication with the modulation member; a first load having a first load reflection coefficient in communication with the switching device; a second load having a second load reflection coefficient in communication with the switching device; and an antenna terminal in communication with the switching device. The modulation member comprises: a baseband processor; and a chirp spread spectrum generator. The baseband processor is configured to generate a signal plan. The chirp spread spectrum generator is configured to generate a modulation signal based on the signal plan. Finally, the switching device is configured to switch, based on the modulation signal, between: the first load; and the second load such that the load reflection coefficient changes at the antenna terminal according to the modulation signal.

Abstract: There is described a method of producing a flexible structure and sensor devices incorporating the former, such as wireless LC sensors, that comprises a plurality of thin-film layers of elastomeric material and at least one layer of micro-wrinkled electrically conductive material. The method includes steps leading to 2D wrinkled metallised polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers enabling considerable flexibility with negligible bending failure for angles up to 180 degrees.

Abstract: A gripper for handling objects is provided. The gripper comprises a body (12) containing a drive mechanism, and a pair of arms (18,20). Each arm (18,20) comprises a proximal arm member (22) rotatably connected to the body (12), and a distal arm member (24) rotatably connected to the proximal arm member about a first axis of rotation. Each arm (18,20) also has a link drive member (68) rotatably connected to the body (12), and a proximal link (84) arranged within each proximal arm member (22). The proximal link (84) has a first end connected to the link drive member (68), and a second end connected to the distal arm member (24) at a location offset from the first axis of rotation. For each arm (18,20) the drive mechanism rotates both the proximal arm member (22) and the link drive member (68) relative to the body (12).
