Abstract:
PURPOSE: A tool system is provided to install a tool for diagnosis and/or treatment in organs of human body in a simple way. CONSTITUTION: A tool system comprises a main body(100) where tools for diagnosis and/or treatment are mounted, and has a fixing portion accommodation portion; a guide pipe coupled to the main body; a fixing portion lead-out line inserted into the guide pipe; and a fixing portion fixed at an end of the fixing portion lead-out line, and accommodated in the fixing portion accommodation portion of the main body. The fixing portion is drawn by the lead-out line, such that a certain part of the fixing portion inserted into the guide pipe. When the fixing portion is partially inserted into the guide pipe by the drawing of the lead-out line, the fixing portion fixes the main body by picking a part of an object(1) at which the main body is to be fixed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A smart pipette system and a method for manipulating an individual bio-cell by using the same are provided, thereby rapidly and accurately recognizing the penetration position, automatically carrying out the cell manipulation by changing an orientation of a cell, and minimizing physical damage of the cell to be manipulated. CONSTITUTION: The smart pipette system for manipulating individual bio-cell comprises a capillary holder(41), a tip holder(42), a membrane plane(43), a PVDF sensor(44), and a pipette(45), wherein the tip contains a polymer coated orientation regulation portion(46); the orientation regulation portion(46) changes the orientation of a cell prior to the cell injection so as to rapidly and accurately recognize the penetration position; and the PVDF sensor(44) detects force of a user and transfers the signal of the detected force to a user to minimize physical damage of the cell to be manipulated.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A human body communication system, a method therefor and a sensing device used in the system are provided to transmit data to the external of a human body by generating an electric current at the inside of the human body so that the current can flow through the human body. CONSTITUTION: Various information, collected at a sensing device(10), is converted into an electrical signal through a signal processing circuit in the sensing device. As the electrical signal is supplied to two transmitting electrodes(11) through the output line of the signal processing circuit, a potential difference is generated between the two transmitting electrodes(11). At this moment, a human body(2) gets live with an electrical current(3) by the potential difference because the transmitting electrodes(11) is contacted with the inside(1) of the human body(2). The electrical current(3) flows from a higher-potential transmitting electrode to the surface of the human body(2), goes into the inside(1) of the human body(2), then sinks to the other lower-potential transmitting electrode. At this moment, as the current that flows on the surface of the human body(2) causes voltage between two receiving electrodes(21), a signal transmitted from the sensing device(10) can be sensed at a receiver(20) installed at the external of the human body(2).
