Polymer-based optical sensors, renowned for their flexibility and stretchability, have found extensive application as displacement sensors in the soft robotics and wearable robotics. Emitting from LEDs, light traverses through a transparent and flexible polymer core, thereby modulating the intensity of light detected by photodiodes contingent upon alterations in the core's cross-sectional area induced by sensor deformation. Due to its polymer composition, it offers flexibility, enabling free deformation, while its ability to measure light intensity demonstrates immunity to external magnetic and electric fields. In this study, a novel haptic sensor was devised by integrating color filters into polymer-based optical sensors to detect specific wavelengths from the LED's initial spectrum. Pressing of Red, Green, and Blue color filters enclosing the core enables light transmission through the filters. The spectrometer detects wavelengths ranging from 415nm to 680nm through eight channels, sufficiently covering the visible spectrum. Furthermore, it was ascertained that wavelength classification by color filters remains unaffected even with a decrease in initial intensity of light due to sensor deformation. Hence, the application of this sensor in wearable robotics or soft robotics is envisaged to facilitate simultaneous displacement measurement and haptic feedback, enhancing control and measurement capabilities.

A SOFC triple combined cycle power generation, consisting of a solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine combined cycle is revealed to give efficiency improvement while reducing the amount of emissions in power generation. It comes from the fact that the exhaust heat generated from a cycle is further utilized for power generation in the next cycle. Studies concerning its designs and optimizations have been investigated, including the characteristics of the system. This study investigates the load following the response of a hydrogen-fueled triple combined cycle, where both the fuel cell and gas steam turbine run on hydrogen fuel. The hydrogen fuel consumed will be provided by a hydrogen generation system of a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer (PEMEC). The generated hydrogen is then stored in a hydrogen tank until further use. The Hydrogen generation triple combined cycle system is interconnected with a substation of renewable energy. Surplus electricity from renewables will be directed to power the electrolyzer.

Ultrasound is a safe, noninvasive diagnostic technique used to measure internal structures such as tissues, organs, and arterial and venous blood flow. Skin-mounted wearable ultrasound devices can enable long-term continuous monitoring of patients to provide solutions to critical healthcare needs. However, stretchable ultrasound devices that are composed of ultrasonic transducers embedded in an elastomer matrix are incompatible with existing rigid acoustic matching layers, leading to reduced energy transmission and reduced imaging resolution. Here, a systematic study of soft composites with liquid metal (LM) fillers dispersed in elastomers reveals key strategies to tune the acoustic impedance of soft materials. Experiments supported by theoretical models demonstrate that the increase in acoustic impedance is primarily driven by the increase in density with negligible changes to the speed of sound through the material. By controlling the volume loading and particle size of the LM fillers, we create a material that achieves a high acoustic impedance 4.8 Mrayl, (> 440% increase over the polymer matrix) with low modulus (< 1 MPa) and high stretchability (> 100% strain). When the device was mechanically strained, we observed a small decrease in acoustic impedance (< 15%) with negligible decrease in sound transmittance and impact on attenuation for all droplet sizes. The stretchable acoustic matching layer was then integrated with a wearable ultrasound device and the ability to measure motion was demonstrated using a phantom model as is performed in Doppler ultrasound.
