Article Abstract
Some applications of wireless sensor network require K-coverage and K-connectivity to ensure the system to be fault tolerance and to make it more reliable. Therefore, it makes coverage and connectivity an important issue in wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we proposed K-coverage and K-connectivity models for wireless sensor networks. In both models, nodes are distributed according to Poisson distribution in the sensor field. To make the proposed model more realistic we used log-normal shadowing path loss model to capture the radio irregularities and studied its impact on K-coverage and K-connectivity. The value of K can be different for different types of applications. Further, we also analyzed the problem of node failure for K-coverage model. In the simulation section, results clearly show that coverage and connectivity of wireless sensor network depend on the node density, shadowing parameters like the path loss exponent, and standard deviation.

Clear aligners offer aesthetic and comfort advantages in orthodontics, yet their ability to deliver effective forces relies heavily on empirical judgment or large-scale optical scanning, lacking real-time quantitative evaluation. Integrating pressure sensors into aligners is a promising solution, but challenges in miniaturization, multi-dimensional sensing, measurement accuracy, and biocompatibility hinder clinical application. Here, an all-in-one Orthodontic Force Acquisition System (OFAS) is presented that enables real-time, 3D force monitoring using a cross-shaped iontronic sensing array and an origami-inspired, wireless battery-free readout circuit miniaturized for single-tooth placement.

Wearable sweat sensors offer noninvasive health monitoring through multiplexed biomarker analysis, delivering real-time diagnostics with continuous operational capability. However, chronic cutaneous interface hydration during prolonged monitoring induces adhesive delamination phenomena that manifest as signal attenuation, which fundamentally limits their clinical reliability. To address this challenge, we developed a thermodynamically adaptive polymer interface combining three functional components: mussel-inspired catechol moieties for moisture-tolerant adhesion, hydrophobic acrylates ensuring mechanical stability, and N-isopropylacrylamide enabling thermal responsiveness.
