The fluctuating nature of ocean waves requires the use of energy storage in wave energy systems to smooth output power. This is particularly true when a wave energy system connects to a remote, weak grid. The energy storage requirement will vary depending on the number of wave energy generators and storage placement within the collector system. This paper investigates the variation of storage size with location and numbers of WECs in a weak grid. The impact of temporal phase shift between waves is also studied.

Wearable perspiration biosensors enable real-time analysis of the sweat composition and can provide insightful information about health conditions. In this review, we discuss the recent developments in wearable sweat sensing platforms and detection techniques. Specifically, on-body monitoring of a wide spectrum of sweat biomarkers are illustrated. Opportunities and challenges in the field are discussed. Although still in an early research stage, wearable sweat biosensors may enable a wide range of personalized diagnostic and physiological monitoring applications.

Applications of a 3D printing process are presented. This process integrates liquid-state printed components and interconnects with IC chips in all three dimensions, various orientations, and multiple printing layers to deliver personalized system-level functionalities. As an example application, a form-fitting glove is demonstrated with embedded programmable heater, temperature sensor, and the associated control electronics for thermotherapeutic treatment.
