Development and Design of Laptop powered through typing

(Abstract)

This study entitled development and design Laptop powered through typing aim is to develop laptop that never runs out of power by harnessing the power generated from typing on laptops all day. It enables laptops to be powered through typing or even used to convert blood pressure into a power source for pacemakers- essentially is to create an everlasting battery. . To power a laptop, though, a much thinner film of the piezoelectric material would have to be developed using nanotechnology. Its so thin; it can be coated onto various electronic parts and integrated into a variety of gadgetry. The laptop will be in touch screen type wherein its keyboard will have piezoelectric film that has capable of transmitting mechanical energy into electric power. It resolved the problem of having to replace the battery or use an adaptor charger of laptops or any electronic device whenever it runs out of power. The fascinating idea about this is that the more the laptop is used, the more it is recharged.

FOREIGN POWER GENERATING SHOES

Two physicists from the applied research, technology and sensory branch of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center in San Diego have patented an energyharvesting device that could potentially give service members the power to charge their own batteries while out in the field. Doctors Bill McKnight and Wayne McGinnis have invented a device that could be developed into a shoe that would harvest energy from walking. "Calculations indicate that a 150-pound person walking at a brisk pace would generate something on the order of five watts of power that could be collected using energy harvesting devices built into the walkers shoe," said McKnight. Industrial designer Alberto Villarreal from Mexico has designed BrightWalk, a human powered self illuminating shoe that houses electroluminescent polymers powered by piezoelectric generators. Piezoelectric devices are placed in the sole of the shoe and generate electricity whenever they are bent or pulled. The electroluminescent polymers produce light under an electric stimulus and brighten without generating much heat. The system is lightweight and easily integrated into shoes so that the energy generated by running or walking is converted into useable electricity. Villarreal said in an interview that BrightWalk is "More than being a light source for the runner to see his path, it is a way for one to be seen on the road at night."

Heely shoes, which are very popular with the younger generation, house a wheel in the rear of the heel. Artists Christian Croft and Kate Hartman altered a pair of Heelys and used the wheels to generate electricity. The electricity harvested from rolling powers a microcomputer and LCD display embedded on the shoe to deliver directions using arrows and text on the embedded screen. Depending on the speed of rolling, a directive appears on the screen every 15 to 20 feet. The artists hope the project will promote discussion on sustainable energy development and alternative transportation design. Perhaps a more useful application would be shoes embedded with a GPS to help wandering Alzheimer patients. Heelys altered to generate electricity

Japanese telecommunications company NTT claims that it is developing shoes that generate 1.2 watts of electricity - enough to power an iPod continuously as long as the wearer keeps walking. These shoes do not store energy but are useful for powering small devices on the go. NTT's electricity generating shoe

With many different angles on the development of energy harvesting shoes it might not be long before we have a new generation of army servicemen, and members of the public, who can charge any electronic device just by walking. Please let us know your experiences in airport security though. (energyharvestingjournal.com)

PIEZOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY PRIMER

Piezoelectricity The piezoelectric effect is a property that exists in many materials. The name is made up of two parts; piezo, which is derived from the Greek work for pressure, and electric from electricity. The rough translation is, therefore, pressure - electric effect. In a piezoelectric material, the application of a force or stress results in the development of a charge in the material. This is known as the direct piezoelectric effect. Conversely, the application of a charge to the same material will result in a change in mechanical dimensions or strain. This is known as the indirect piezoelectric effect. Several ceramic materials have been described as exhibiting a piezoelectric effect. These include lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), lead-titanate (PbTiO2), leadzirconate (PbZrO3), and barium-titanate (BaTiO3). These ceramics are not actually piezoelectric but rather exhibit a polarized electrostrictive effect. A material must be formed as a single crystal to be truly piezoelectric. Ceramic is a multi crystalline structure made up of large numbers of randomly orientated crystal grains. The random orientation of the grains results in a net cancelation of the effect. The ceramic must be polarized to align a majority of the individual grain effects. The term piezoelectric has become interchangeable with polarized electrostrictive effect in most literature.

NANO-TECHNOLOGY START A NEW LIFE THE EXTENSIVE APPLICATION OF PIEZOELECTRIC SENSORS NANO PIEZOELECTRIC SENSOR ELECTRICAL INDUSTRY
Nano-sensor has a keen sensitivity, the volume is also very small. Electrical observation. Lot of their usefulness, such as blood diseases, molecular detection of signs; detection of toxic gases in the air; trace contaminants in food, etc.. But to be completely miniaturization of these devices, batteries and integrated circuits has become the stumbling block. Georgia Institute of Technology materials scientist Professor Wang Zhonglin invention of miniature piezoelectric Generator To bring a new nano-world power. If he can be successful, biological and chemical nano Sensor In the future will be able to own their own power supply.

Early as a century ago, people have known the existence of the piezoelectric effect, that iscrystal materials can produce mechanical pressure potential. But in 2005, Zhong-Lin Wang for the first time to demonstrate the piezoelectric effect of nano-level. He used atomic forcemicroscopy probe tip to bend a single ZnO nanowires, when the nanowires bend and back tothe original shape when the zinc and oxygen ions by the electric potential can drive current. In the first trial, Professor Wang induce tiny electric potential only a few millivolts. But he is convinced that as long as a sufficient number of experiments, he will be able to design a practical nano Power supply Such Power supply Can even use small vibration around us, such as sound waves, wind and even the implanted device fluctuations in blood flow. These subtle changes will bend nanowires to produce electricity. Professor Wang polymer embedded in a layer of zinc oxide nanowires,resulting in a potential of 50 mV, which is in the micro- Sensor Power technologydevelopment on an important step forward. Zhong-Lin Wang hope that these fat Motor Eventually be woven into the fibers, such a shirt issued by the iPod power enough to recharge portable devices such as portable. Of course, nano hair Motor The output power is too low, it cannot do this. Professor Wang said that the need for 200 mV or even more potential, he plans to approach the nanowires through the stack to achieve, but it still needs a 5 to 10 years of welldesigned. At the same time, Zhong-Lin Wang has demonstrated a new nano-sensor of the first component. He called the piezoelectric technology makes use of nanotechnology to the fact that both of zinc oxide nanowires show a piezoelectric effect is also a semiconductor. The first feature made of zinc oxide nanowires to play the role of mechanical sensors, as they respond to mechanical stress to produce electricity; second characteristic means that they can be used to produce the basic components of integrated circuits, including transistors and diodes. Unlike traditional Electronic Components, nano-piezoelectric element does not require external power, they exposed to the same nano-generator-powered mechanical stress, the self will be able to generate electricity. Once the nano-piezoelectric elements external power supply from the shackles, it is possible to open up a variety of practicalapplications. Integrated nano-generators can be used in nanopiezoelectric hearing aid of multiple nanowires, each root can be tuned to a variety of different sound frequencies. Nanowires convert sound waves into electrical signals and processed so that they can be directly transmitted to the brain neurons. This implanted neural prosthesis is not only more compact than traditional hearing aids, more sensitive, but also due to replace the battery without the removal of. Nano piezoelectric sensor

can also be used to test aircraft engines in the mechanical stress, just a few nano-wire device can monitor the pressure, process information and to inform the flight data computer. Whether in the body or in the air, nano devices will eventually be all over the world around us. (nanotechnology.org.in)

COMPARISON OF PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY HARVESTING DEVICES FOR RECHARGING BATTERIES

Piezoelectric materials can be used as a means of transforming ambient vibrations into electrical energy that can be stored and used to power other devices. With the recent surge of micro scale devices, piezoelectric power generation can provide a convenient alternative to traditional power sources used to operate certain types of sensors/actuators, telemetry, and MEMS devices. However, the energy produced by these materials is in many cases far too small to directly power an electrical device. Therefore, much of the research into power harvesting has focused on methods of accumulating the energy until a sufficient amount is present, allowing the intended electronics to be powered. In a recent study by Sodano et al. (2004a) the ability to take the energy generated through the vibration of a piezoelectric material was shown to be capable of recharging a discharged nickel metal hydride battery. In the present study, three types of piezoelectric devices will be investigated and experimentally tested to determine each of their abilities to transform ambient vibration into electrical energy and their capability to recharge a discharged battery. The three types of piezoelectric devices tested are; the commonly used monolithic piezoceramic material lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT), the bimorph Quick Pack (QP) actuator and Macro Fiber Composite (MFC). The experimental results estimate the efficiency of the three devices tested and identify the feasibility of their use in real world applications. Various different capacity batteries are recharged using each device, to determine the charge time and maximum capacity battery that can be charged. The results presented in this paper show the potential of piezoelectric materials for use in power harvesting applications, provide a means of choosing the piezoelectric device to be used and estimating the amount of time required for it to recharge a specific capacity battery.

SELF-POWERING PORTABLE ELECTRONICS

To avoid the dreaded low battery warning on any of these devices, users have to bring their power cords and hope to find a place to plug in, preferably without getting charged extra for the electricity. With piezoelectrics, researchers hope to make portable electronics self-powering, running on electricity converted from mechanical energy generated by movement. One research group has developed a flexible plastic-based material with piezoelectric properties that can be used to make garments that harvest kinetic energy. Thus joggers might one day charge their MP3 players as they listen to the music, for example. Or they could jog to charge their players, but talk on cell phones to charge those units. The multitasking and alternative power sources sound promising but its also worth pondering that if research in wearable piezoelectrics succeeds, the moment from The Matrix might arguably come true and people will become walking batteries caught in a cycle of benefiting from the charge they themselves provide to the electronics around them.

RP REVEALS 10-YEAR NANOTECHNOLOGY ROADMAP

Nanotechnology is an advanced form of scientific research on atoms and molecules. Products in this research can be applied to new types of metals, energy conservation, miniaturization of electronic devices, resistant materials and biomedical applications. The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development Council (DOST-PCASTRD) made this announcement as part of an effort to bolster economic development in the country. The PCASTRDs nanotechnology strategic roadmap will cover at least six industrial sectors, including the semiconductor, information technology, energy, agriculture, medicine and environment protection.

The roadmap indicates that funding will be provided to several nanotechnology projects, which intend to benefit identified industrial sectors. PCASTRD said that over a dozen scientists from different fields are now involved in the selection of the projects that would be funded. The group would be led by Dr. Fabian Dayrit, chairman of PCASTRDs Technical Panel on Nanotechnology. Dayrit, who is also the dean for the Ateneo De Manila University School of Science and Engineering, said the DOST is looking at a budget of P2.5 billion for the next 10 years, starting in 2009. An initial P60 million is being allocated for the first batch of projects. The amount could ramp up in the coming years as more projects are evaluated and approved. Because of the vast applications of nanotechnology, Dayrit said the PCASTRD will tap other groups of scientists and engineers from specific fields. He added that the projects evaluated for funding must have direct benefits to the Philippines. Weve identified several national issues that have to be addressed and these should be the main focus of nanotechnology development, Dayrit said. According to the roadmap, priority areas are food packaging, nanodevice fabrication, environmental sensors and environmental treatment, corrosion resistant ceramics, water purification and in vitro diagnostics in healthcare. Dayrit noted that the agency is also open to partnerships with the private sector since it would also benefit from the results of the projects. Because of the advanced state of the nanotechnology, an education drive is also included in the 10-year plan. The PCASTRD is looking to make nanotechnology part of the curriculum in all science and engineering courses to introduce students to the topic and prepare them for further involvement in nanotechnology. The agency will also be identifying laboratories that have the tools to be used for certain projects. The laboratories would also be accredited by international organizations.

We also want to spur interests among people that we have the capacity to do great things with nanotechnology, Dayrit added. (By Alexander Villafania, Inquirer.net)

AN OVERVIEW OF THE VARIOUS APPLICATIONS OF THE PIEZOELECTRIC EFFECT

Piezoelectricity is a special characteristic that can be seen in different materials such as ceramics, crystals and biological matters like bones, to produce an electric potential or an electric field when a mechanical stress is present. In some materials, the effect of piezoelectricity can be reversed. For instance, its effect on lead zirconate titanate crystals can be observed the changes in their shape of around 0.1 per cent. The piezoelectric effect has various uses, which include the detection as well as the production of sound. Know more about it by looking at its application in computer infrastructure, specifically in computer ports. The History of Piezoelectric Effect Piezoelectricity and its effects on some materials were first examined and conceptualized by Jacques and Pierre Curies in 1880. Even if this characteristic was discovered in the 1800s, the breakthrough only happened in the early part of the 20th century when scientists investigated its impact on cane sugar, bone, Rochelle salt, topaz and quartz. In the late part of the century, some experts found that quartz has piezoelectrical characteristics that can be applied as standard of frequency. With this discovery, computer experts performed researches and found that piezoelectric effect is useful for creating clock pulse in computers. The Use of Piezoelectricity in Solving Computer Problems That Are Related to Overclocking The piezoelectric effect is very helpful in overclocking graphic cards in the computer ports of notebooks or laptops. For instance, some software and hardware manufacturers use piezoelectricity in their products in order to enable them to use in improving the performance of computer systems. In this regard, there are times that when software is used for overclocking graphic cards of laptops, there will be a buzzing noise that can be heard. There is nothing to worry when this happens because the noise indicates that the process produces a piezoelectric effect.

Additional Information and Other Important Details About Piezoelectricity The piezoelectric effect is also helpful in decreasing vibrations in materials. Aside from this function, it is essential in operating sensors and motors. Other applications of piezoelectricity include the generation as well as identification of sonar waves. Additionally, it is useful as a source of power in high power applications like industrial processing, sonochemistry and medical treatment. Piezoelectric effect can be used to determine detonation and fuel injection moment in the engine management systems of vehicles. Moreover, with the discovery of piezoelectricity and ultrasonic piezo sensors, the assessment and evaluation of acoustic emissions is easy. (Brian Jones Jr., zinearticles.com)

IPHONE PHILIPPINE-STYLE

Someone's got an iPhone working in the Philippines - working, as in getting calls and texts, apparently using that SuperSIM hack mentioned in cousin site Mac-ADoodle previously. Userdubeditions from the Philippine Mac Users Group (PhilMUG) claimed on a thread on the forum today to be able to use an 8GB iPhone with local provider Globe Telecom, using a written-over blank SIM using a method initially made known and available in Europe. If this is at all true, Apple can expect a renewed wave of new phone purchases from folk all over the world, with Jobs being the winner and AT&T ending up, once more, S.O.L (blogs.inquirer.net)

FOR SMES, THINKPAD RPOVIDES CLEAR EDGE

THE THINKPAD Edge brand was specifically created by Lenovo for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in need of affordable and durable PCs equipped with productivity tools and features. Relatively a new entrant in the market, Lenovos top-of-the-line ThinkPad family has been growing in number along with screen size variations. Recently, Lenovo came out with the ThinkPad Edge E420, a 14-inch screen slim laptop fitted with Intel Core i5 2410M processor (Intels second generation Core processor with built-in graphics capability), a 4GB RAM soldered in, and a spacious 320GB hard disk. As a laptop meant for price-sensitive SMEs, the E420 has an expensive feel to it. The device has a black velvety matte surface, while the chassis is highlighted by a chrome silver strip that borders the screen and sides of the spacious keyboard. The E420 also sports a chrome silver hinge that secures the screen tightly in place. The same screen can also be opened to an extreme 180 degrees, allowing the whole laptopkeyboard and screento lie flat on a surface. Another expensive design feature of the E420 is a slot-loading optical drive, which may be found in Macbooks and other high-end laptops priced beyond the 60,000-peso mark. The E420 also features a fingerprint scanner located on the right side of the touchpad, enhancing the security of the device. For business use, the E420 features the ThinkVantage 2.0 toolsa set of useful applications arranged in a nice easy-to-navigate user interface. The tools are purposely built in to help businesses with little IT support to allow their employees access to a sort of IT support that already sits in the laptop. For example, from the ThinkVantage UI, a user may be able to diagnose or repair the PC or even back up files easily or thoroughly delete confidential files. The user can likewise manage hard drive protection (degree of protection), Internet connection, and even web conferencing. For the latter function, a user can cancel out the noise made by typing on a keyboard during a Skype web conference, to ensure that the party you are talking to at the other side wont be annoyed by clicks on the keyboard while talking to you. The E420 is strikingly thin and light. It measures an inch thick and weighs four pounds. It has the hardware ports you would expect from a business laptop2 USBs, HDMI, multicard reader, eSATA, LAN, VGA, and even a slot for a SIM card (for data

connection to a telco). The screens resolution is at 1366 x 768 and the onboard graphics is that of Intel Graphics, which provides dedicated video memory of 64 MB. In all, the E420 has a bit more class than previous ThinkPad Edge laptops. And that translates to a premium tag of P62,000 which, come to think of it, may not exactly fit an SMEs budget. (Raquel P. Gomez,Philippine Daily Inquirer)
