Ultra-high voltage, low power and energy recovering electronics for dielectric elastomer actuators

Raphaël Johannes Charles Mottet

Heart failure is a cardiovascular disease affecting between 1 and 2% of the population of developed countries alone - more than 10 million people - with this number bound to increase due to the ageing of the population. This condition starts to develop its ...
