Energy density issues of flexible energy storage devices
Energy density (E), also called specific energy, measures the amount of energy that can be stored and released per unit of an energy storage system [34]. The attributes "gravimetric" and "volumetric" can be used when energy density is expressed in watt-hours per kilogram (Wh kg −1) and watt-hours per liter (Wh L −1 ), respectively ...

Energy storage and release of prosthetic feet, Part 1: …
The general concept of energy storage and release of prosthetic feet is that they store energy during mid-stance and release the energy when it is desired, i.e. during push-off. These events are based on two major phases (Winter and Sienko, 1988) consistently seen in ankle power graphs in normal subjects.
