![]() ![]() Here we examine the potential of large-area electronics technology in the development of sustainable, wirelessly powered Internet of Things sensor nodes. Large-area electronics-which can be based on organic semiconductors, amorphous metal oxide semiconductors, semiconducting carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional semiconductors-could provide a solution. The economic and sustainability issues of battery-powered devices mean that wirelessly powered operation-combined with environmentally friendly circuit technologies-will be needed. We then explore the use of large-area electronics technology in wirelessly powered Internet of Things sensor nodes, with a focus on low-power transistor circuits for digital processing and signal amplification, as well as high-speed diodes and printed antennas for data communication and radiofrequency energy harvesting.Ībstract = "Powering the increasing number of sensor nodes used in the Internet of Things creates a technological challenge. ![]() We provide a system-level analysis of wirelessly powered sensor nodes, identifying the constraints faced by such devices and highlighting promising architectures and design approaches. When developing a framework with little to no visuals, clear communication, like organizing analysis in a narrative way is helpful to getting my point across.Powering the increasing number of sensor nodes used in the Internet of Things creates a technological challenge. Research and analyzing the information collected is foundational to the process and the success of the solution. When working on projects with proposed solutions that have infinite resources, establishing constraints around the level of detail is important so as to not lose sight of the forest for the trees. There are logistics that require ironing out, but it was important to narrow the focus so the areas of concern found in my research process were addressed. In the end, Pecunia is a comprehensive platform but it is conceptual and operates at a big-picture level. ![]() With more time, I would have liked to explore these causes and developing a more encompassing solution. The research and solution may have gone in another direction, and it certainly is a worthy wicked problem to be solved. I read the book Moneyland: The Inside Story of the Crooks and Kleptocrats Who Rule the World and it sparked interest in areas I could have explored such as how financial illiteracy can often be due to factors like poverty and corruption. The causes and themes of the struggle with financial literacy identified in previous steps, such as motivation, became pivot points to looking at how motivation and rewards function successfully in other markets, industries, and practices like fitness and rehabilitation.Īs time has gone by, and I come across more information I think back to this project and find different areas that I could have considered. The element of reward in this behaviour reinforces the link between the cue and the routine.⁶ So, the key to breaking bad habits and creating good habits is in the reward. We tend to spend money we do not have because we want to feel good, or because we want to keep up appearances in order to fit in to a societal group.⁶ This leads to a reward of a new possession and the gratification from the purchase.⁵ ![]() It is followed by a routine, an action or behaviour like overspending with a credit card. I did a deep dive into the habit loop and found the following relationship between motivation and financial habits:Ī habit begins with a cue, a trigger like stress or excitement. I found that research relating to (the lack of) motivation warranted additional research that could prove to be insightful. ![]()
