The aim is to optimize the beam shape to maximize strain in the active layer while maintaining eigenfrequencies and manufacturability. A gradient projection method with finite element modeling is applied to optimize thickness distribution.

Device configuration in Internet of Things systems (IoT) is becoming increasingly difficult to manage, especially as the number of devices in the systems increases. Traditional IoT management methods often require specialized knowledge, and configuration can be error-prone, especially when it is necessary to adapt smart home systems to individual scenarios.
