In the “Innovative Peer to Peer Electricity Sharing Towards the Development of Smart and Cooperative Microgrids” project, we are aiming to implement a smart switching device that is capable of measuring the electrical components (voltage, current, active and reactive power) and can be controlled remotely. This device will be connected to an online trading platform to be controlled according to the electricity trading details. Currently, we are working on creating the platform alongside with developing the board of this device.

Through two weeks, our team have made good progress in the respiratory rate project and worked on advanced signal processing algorithms for our data, We got also trained on biomedical data acquisition devices. Moreover,  they had fruitful in-depth discussions with our UK partner that will help in finalizing this project.

We are delighted to have had the chance to present our work before professors and researchers at the Center of Intelligent Healthcare in Coventry University UK. The team showed the work progress on the inkjet-printed respiratory rate sensor and had an in-depth discussion with CU researchers who showed a lot of interest in the printing technology and its impact on low-setting areas.
 

We sincerely thank Dr. Syed Ghufran and Dr. Yuhang Xu for working closely with us during the visit period on hardware and advanced signal processing techniques.

Our third paper in January is published at Micromachines journal entitled "High-Efficiency Small Sample Microparticle Fractionation on a Femtosecond Laser-Machined Microfluidic Disc". We are proud to be the first to claim to fabricate a glass microfluidic disc using femtosecond laser ablation. By doing so, we were able to fractionate 5 and 10 micrometre particles inside a straight microchannel in a rotating microfluidic disc. This paper resulted from our collaboration with the Institute of Microtechnology (IMT) at TU Braunschweig.

We are very thankful for the financial support of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Deanship of Scientific Research at German Jordanian University. We also acknowledge the support by the German Research Foundation and the Open Access Publication Funds of the Technische Universität Braunschweig.

Thanks to all the authors for their contributions: Prof. Alaaldeen Al-Halhouli, Zaid Doofesh, Ahmad Al-Baghdadi and Prof. Andreas Dietzel
