- This paper reports flexible antennas for WiFi energy harvesting, and novel contactless connectors that avoid the prime reliability concern between flexible antennas and rigid electronics. The paper is seminal by pioneering electronics that handles extreme intermittency in energy harvesting, where the received power varies over 4 orders of magnitude, due to the motion of wearable electronics, and the interactions of humans and their changing environment with the WiFi signals. The electronics has two granted US patents 16/096,792 and 16/096,771, been proven in silicon (acceleration grants), and licenced to Sensor Driven Ltd, for use in medical, industrial, and environmental sensing.
