29、p of the city of Imola, near Bologna. Borgia had taken control of the city in 1499. It was a key success for the young commander.

30、century city maps tended to be symbolic and often symbolic, enlarging the size of religious buildings.

39、ere on the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project. “What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week, for

40、example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation. Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the

41、LED lights was palm-sized while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low-cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting. The device also becomes more powerful when fo

42、lded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again, its much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel(脚后跟) strikes the ground.” Sepulveda and his
