RF Energy Harvesting Multi-Frequency Receptor Model for Micropower Applications

In recent era of 21st century the electronics engineering is prettily well known for its comfort and user-friendly interface. All the low power sensor networks require a power for its routine applications and processes. RF Energy Harvesting (RFH) is emerging potential method for the proactive energy replenishment of next generation wireless networks and for energy crisis problem. Since present all the RF-DC techniques focuses on single or double frequency operation and it mainly deals with single structure antenna design. In this chapter the mathematical simulation model of multi structured frequency reception single antenna is designed under CMOS 5 stage rectification process to provide DC power for remote devices. The chapter-based prototype design of differential Microstrip patch structure for RF energy harvesting, CMOS rectifier which is to be designed in 5/6 stages. A multiple frequency receiver antenna with 3D structure along with its design characteristics in ADS is to be mentioned by this chapter. The presented structure uses various ADS tools and technics for simulation this will provide a basic design learning platform of ADS for researcher. ADS tools like Monte Carlo, optimization techniques and tuning conditions ae mentioned in this chapter for providing step by step simulation guidelines for new users. Currently the world is facing a big outbreak of COVID-19 and our day-to-day life activities gets stuck because of it. Because of technology the world has an option of human remote interaction with database to enforce the social distancing in such pandemic situation. WEH allows IOT sensor node to forage self-sustaining energy from environment. In this entire book chapter, we will get the brief knowledge of WEH system its fundamentals, Mathematical model process of each module, its software design aspects and most important step by step design validation and verification simulation guidance. © 2022 American Institute of Physics Inc..

Exploring the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Medical Supply Chain Disruption

The COVID-19 outbreak is a worldwide disaster that has disrupted several aspects of human life and its community living. This pandemic has also affected the existing supply chain and the way it was being managed. Therefore, this study’s primary objective is to identify and discuss the significant impact of COVID-19 on the current supply chain, with specific reference to the medical supply chain. This article then recommends the potential solution measures that can reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the existing supply chain during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to do so, we have identified and discussed various significant impacts of COVID-19 on the supply chain. Identifying the impacts helps the policy planner formulate the policies to mitigate these impacts and recover the supply chain at their functional level. Further, this study also suggests possible solution measures that can be adopted to reduce the disruption of the supply chain. These solution measures help management develop the action plan for early recovery from the COVID-19 disruption.

Areas of academic research with the impact of COVID-19.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) endemic is growing exponentially in the whole world. Researchers, technologists, doctors and other healthcare workers are working day and night on the development of vaccine and medicinesto control and treat this virus. SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 disease, which is highly infectious and lethal.With exponentially increasing infections, proportionate fatalities are being reported both from developed and under developed countries. As of today, more than one million people across the world have been reported infected with this virus, and more than 65,000 people have died of this disease. Hence, there is an urgent requirement for conducting academic research on several aspects of this highly contagious disease, to find effective means of containment and treatment of the disease, for now, and in future. We have identified some opportunities for academic research related to COVID-19 and have also provided suggestions to contain, prevent and treat this viral infection.

Framework for Manufacturing in Post-Covid-19 World Order: An Indian Perspective

Covid-19 pandemic has created a colossal disruption all over the globe, especially in Europe, the USA, China, India, and many developed economies. The production supply chains have been massively disturbed. It is estimated that a significant number of Fortune 1000 firms have been severely affected by the pandemic. Manufacturing companies operating in and through India are also affected by Covid-19. However, Covid-19 also offers an opportunity to revisit the competitiveness of Indian manufacturing. Traditionally, India’s manufacturing growth has been based mostly on its domestic market. The disruptions due to Covid-19 are likely to offer new models of working and at the same time, opportunities to build capabilities and explore new international markets. The paper gives a perspective on Indian manufacturing involving various stakeholders such as industry associations, professional bodies, academic institutes, and industry to tackle the issue of enhancing manufacturing competitiveness. In a post-Covid-19, India will have to decide a mix of conventional manufacturing facilities, the automated special purpose, and industry 4.0. One perspective is to have an increased level of automation and implementation of Industry 4.0, with localized skills and global aspirations and another view is to have traditional manufacturing facilities that can ramp up its capabilities to satisfy increased demand of products. This paper presents a conceptual framework to assess Indian manufacturing.
