ADIPOSE Molecule v2
This molecule contains a 100mm x 100mm x 30mm human adipose tissue analog. The electrical characteristics are as follows: εᵣ ≈ 5 (real part of relative permittivity; σ ≈ 0.2 S/m (order of magnitude, for low-water content fat); µᵣ ≈ 1. This can be used in evaluating the response of electromagnetic devices when in the presence of human fat tissue.
NSF Relevance
The adipose tissue analog molecule creates a standardized testbed for analyzing the way implantable and other biomedical devices interact with the human body. This creates an auditable and repeatable test platform that can be applied to developing or already existing devices. In the case of the COSMIIC system, it enables experimentation with different physical configurations and electrical charging parameters to optimize wireless power transfer efficiency through human adipose tissue.
