   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy harvesting interface; thermoelectric generator; glucose biofuel cell; power management; dc-dc converter; boost converter; zero-current switching; zero-voltage switching; implantable biosensor; Energiskördsgränssnitt; termoelektrisk generator; glukosbiobränslecell; energihantering; DC-DC-omvandlare; boost-omvandlare; inplanterbar biosensor; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

   Abstract : Energy harvesting is identified as an alternative solution for powering implantable biosensors. It can potentially enable the development of self-powered implants if the harvested energy is properly handled. This development implies that batteries, which impose many limitations, are replaced by miniature harvesting devices. READ MORE

5. 3. Organic Bioelectronic Devices for Selective Biomarker Sensing : Towards Integration with Living Systems

   Author : Chiara Diacci; Magnus Berggren; Daniel Simon; Francesca Santoro; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Inorganic materials have been the main players of the semiconductor industry for the past forty years. However, there has been a continuous interest and growth in the research and in the application of organic semiconductors (OSCs) as active materials in electronic devices, due to the possibility to process these materials at low temperature on flexible substrates, fabricate them on large-area, and upscale their fabrication using cost-effective strategies such as printing.

6. 4. Development of Second and Third Generation Bioelectronics

   Author : Federico Tasca; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flow injection analysis; amperometric biosensor; mediated electron transfer; direct electron transfer; tryptophan repressor-binding protein; diaphorase; pyranose oxidase; cellobiose dehydrogenase; pyranose dehydrogenase; biofuel cell; spectroelectrochemistry; single wall carbon nanotubes; bioelectronics.;

   Abstract : The field of research dealing with the integration of biomolecules with electronic elements to form functional devices is called ‘‘bioelectronics’’. Bioelectronics based on mediated electron transfer (MET) between the biological element and the electrodes are designated as “second generation” while the one based on direct electron transfer (DET) is specified as “third generation”.

7. 5. Power-Efficient Continuous-Time Incremental Sigma-Delta Analog-to-Digital Converters

   Author : Sha Tao; Ana Rusu; Franco Maloberti; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; analog-to-digital conversion; sigma-delta modulation; incre- mental ADC; two-step ADC; continuous-time; biosensor applications.;

   Abstract : Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in the devel- opment of integrated circuits (ICs) for wearable or implantable biosensors, aiming at providing personalized healthcare services and reducing the health-care expenses. In biosensor ICs, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a key building block that acts as a bridge between analog signals and digital processors. READ MORE
