LDIA2017 will be held during September 6 to 9, 2017 in Osaka, Japan. The 11th International Symposium on Linear Drives for Industry Applications (LDIA 2017) will provide a forum for discussing present research and development activities and future prospects related to the linear drives for industry applications. We will have a presentation:

The purpose of this study is maintenance free of wireless sensors. If sensors installed at substation equipment in factory, magnetic energy harvesting is effective. A magnetic flux density with commercial frequency of 50 Hz was harvested and the output voltage characteristics of power conditioning module was clarified. As a result, 104 mW could be harvesting when load resistance of 100 Ω was connected.

* Prof. Tashiro and M2 Ito will attend this international conference.
