In this paper, we demonstrate a novel robust miniature three-axis vibrational energy-harvester using a mechanical-piezoelectric configuration. Using the configuration, the harvester employs Newton\'s law of inertia and the piezoelectric effect to convert either the x-axis or y-axis in-plane and z-axis out-of-plane ambient vibrations into piezoelectric voltage-responses. Under the x-axis vibration (sine-wave, 75 Hz, 3.5 g), our modeled, finite-element analyzed/simulated, and experimental root mean square voltage-response with power-outputs of the harvester (stimulated in resonant with the optimum load) is 525.36 mV with 0.477 mu W, 516.51 mV with 0.461 mu W, and 548 mV with 0.519 mu W, respectively. Under the z-axis vibration (sine-wave, 95 Hz, 3.8 g), the modeled, finite-element analyzed/simulated, and experimental root mean square voltage-response with power-output of the harvester (stimulated in resonant with the optimum load) is 157.35 mV with 0.066 mu W, 170.25 mV with 0.0772 mu W, and 168 mV with 0.075 mu W, respectively. These show that not only both of our modeling and finite-element analysis/simulation can successfully predict the experimental results, but also our harvester is capable of harnessing three-axial ambient vibrations. Moreover, through the piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate-connected-in-series approach, the voltage and power outputs are increased. According to these achievements, we believe that our harvester would be an important design reference in industry for future development of microfabrication-based (MEMS-based) three-axial piezoelectric energy harvesters and accelerometers.

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel miniature three-axis piezoelectric energy harvester. The energy harvester consists of four piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate cantilever beams, connector, proof mass, and mechanic frame. Through the connector, a special configuration with a well-constrained mechanism of the energy harvester is achieved. Due to the configuration/mechanism of the energy harvester, the Newton\'s law of inertia and piezoelectric effect are utilized to convert the in-plane (either x-axis or y-axis) and out-of-plane (z-axis) environmental vibrations into voltage responses. This achieves energy harnessing from 3-axial environmental vibration.

In this paper, we report a novel nanoelectromagnetic system using multiferroic/magnetoelectric Ni-nanochevron/PMN-PT heterostructure to demonstrate an electric field -controlled permanent magnetic single-domain transformation. The heterostructure consists of a magnetostrictive Ni-nano-chevron, Pt top and bottom electrodes, and a piezoelectric PMN-PT substrate. In initial state (as demagnetized), the magnetization of the magnetic single domain is stably along the long axis of the nano-chevron. A magnetic field of 3000 Oe (along 45 degree of nano-chevron) is applied to magnetize the Ni-nano-chevron from stable single domain to metastable two-domains. After this, an electric field of 0.8MV/m is applied to the PMN-PT substrate to produce the converse magnetoelectric effect to transform the two-domains. After the electric field is removed, the two-domains are further transformed back to the single-domain. Finally, when comparing the domains before and after applying our approach, approximately 50 % of single-domains are successfully and permanently switched (i.e., magnetization-direction is permanently rotated 180 degrees).
ELECTRICAL CONTROL OF MAGNETIC MULTI-DOMAIN TRANSFORMATION IN A SPECIFIC GEOMETRIC-PATTERNED NI NANOSTRUCTURE ON A PIEZOELECTRIC [PB(MG(1/3)NB(2/3))O3](0.68)-[PBTIO3](0.32) SUBSTRATE

In this paper, we report an electrical control of magnetic multi-domain-walls transformation in an N-shape-patterned Ni nanostructures on a piezoelectric [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3](0.68)-[PbTiO3](0.32) substrate. Based on the converse-magnetoelectric-effect induced domain-wall transformation and the specific N-shape geometry guided domain-wall motion, the domain walls are successfully transformed by an applied electric field of 0.8 MV/m from the transverse domain wall state into the flux closure vortex domain state. These experimental results achieve the electrical control of multi-domain-walls transformation and would create more data storage and memory applications in the future.

This study verified general inferences on the finger and palm pressure distribution of a basketball player in the moment before that player shoots a basketball through a scientific qualitative testing method. We mounted the sensor on the hands of college basketball players and monitored the dynamic pressure of each player's hand while the player threw a basketball. The dynamic pressure distribution of the fingers and palm of a basketball player throwing a ball can be verified. According to the experimental results, college basketball players typically use the index finger to control the direction and power of force in the moment before shooting a basketball. This study successfully used a scientific qualitative test method to monitor the dynamic pressure of the fingers and palms of basketball players and verified the general inference that a typical basketball player mainly uses the index finger to control the direction and power of force in the moment before throwing a ball. In the future, this study, measuring the dynamic pressure distribution of the fingers and palm, can be applied to simulate hand manipulation in many biomedical and robotic applications.

We report a magnetic-field-assisted electric-field-controlled approach to rotate magnetic stripe domains in a magnetoelectric Ni-microbar/[Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3](0.68)-[PbTiO3](0.32) heterostructure. A magnetic field is applied for magnetizing the microbar\'s stripe domains along the microbar\'s short/magnetic-hard axis. Subsequently, an electric field is applied for induction of a transformation of domains through the converse magnetoelectric effect. Owing to the microbar\'s geometry, the transformation causes the stripe domains to rotate away from the short/magnetichard axis toward the long/magnetic-easy axis. The rotation angle increases in proportion to the increasing electric field intensity. A maximal rotation of 90 degrees is obtained at the electric field intensity of 0.8MV/m. The rotation state persists after removing the electric field. (C) 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
