Vom Wunder zur Magie: Frühe japanische Christenwunder in west-östlicher Literatur

Christenwunder während der frühen Jesuiten-Japanmission (spätes 16./frühes 17. Jh.) wurden trotz interner Infragestellung lebhaft nach Europa gemeldet und fanden in der dortigen Literatur dankbare Aufnahme. In christenfeindlichen Schriften Japans werden sie später als Zaubertrick und Magie dargestellt, wie umgekehrt buddhistische Wunder in den Christenschriften als Teufelsmagie erschienen. Dieser Artikel fragt nach Faktoren, die die Darstellungsweise der umstrittenen Christenwunder beeinflusst haben.In spite of internal doubts and debates among priests of the early Jesuits’ mission period in Japan (late 16th/early 17th century), Christian miracles were frequently reported to Europe and flourished in local literature. In contrast, Buddhist miracles were described in European texts as devil’s magic. Likewise, Christian miracles noted in "anti-Christian" Japanese literature were mutated to denote magic or trickery. This article examines the reasons and ways in which Christian miracle stories were produced

Design of Processing Circuitry for an RF Energy Harvester

Significant advancements in technology and the use of low power sensors in both commercial and industrial applications have made it essential to develop wireless solutions for low power devices. Once such solution, which has generated attention in university and R&D environments, is radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting. RF energy harvesting seeks to capture ambient RF energy by means of an antenna and convert this energy to useable DC power. The presence of ambient RF energy in the environment is a result of numerous high-frequency technologies including Wi-Fi, cell phones, microwave ovens, and radio broadcasting, as well as many others. The intention of this thesis is to design the processing circuitry necessary to convert a received RF signal into useable DC power, with the ability to charge a Lithium-Ion battery. The design presented here was performed to process an RF energy signal received from an antenna that targets both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. The final design consists of two bandpass filters (one for each Wi-FI band) two two-stage voltage doubler circuits (one for each Wi-Fi band), and a boost converter that is designed to achieve an output voltage of 3.2V in order to charge a Lithium-Ion battery. Testing of the RF energy harvester in an environment with ambient 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signals and a 470μF capacitor connected at the output demonstrates the circuit’s ability to harvest a measureable amount of energy. While the maximum measured voltage of 50mV does not meet the design specification of 3.2V, the circuit demonstrates proof-of-concept. Additional design improvements are necessary to make it a viable solution for charging a battery
