High-Efficiency Wireless Power Transfer System Based on Low-Frequency AlScN Piezoelectric Micromechanical Ultrasonic Transducers for Implantable Medical Devices.

In recent years, implantable medical devices (IMDs) have introduced groundbreaking solutions for managing various health conditions. However, traditional implanted batteries necessitate periodic surgical replacement and tend to be relatively bulky, posing significant inconvenience to patients. To overcome these limitations, researchers have investigated various wireless power transfer (WPT) techniques, among which the ultrasonic wireless power transmission (UWPT) technique has distinct advantages.

CGAP-align: a high performance DNA short read alignment tool.

Background: Next generation sequencing platforms have greatly reduced sequencing costs, leading to the production of unprecedented amounts of sequence data. BWA is one of the most popular alignment tools due to its relatively high accuracy. However, mapping reads using BWA is still the most time consuming step in sequence analysis.
