Abstract:
Disclosed is a peripheral nerve fixing apparatus, which includes: a suction unit configured to provide a negative pressure to a peripheral nerve at an end portion thereof to fix the peripheral nerve; and a negative pressure generating unit having a vacuum pump for generating a negative pressure and connected to the suction unit so that the negative pressure is provided to the suction unit, wherein at one surface of the end portion of the suction unit, the suction unit includes: a fixing unit provided to contact the peripheral nerve to keep a stable fixed state; and a suction hole formed in the fixing unit so that the negative pressure is provided to the peripheral nerve therethrough.
Abstract:
An apparatus for inserting an electrode structure into nerve in tissue of a living body includes a nerve fixing part which fixes the nerve such that at least part of the nerve is hung thereon, and an electrode structure ejector on which the electrode structure is mounted, and which moves the electrode structure in insertion direction to insert the electrode structure into the fixed part of the nerve, wherein the nerve fixing part and the electrode structure ejector are disposed on the same axis.
Abstract:
A nerve probe array has a connector made of a flexible material; and a plurality of probes coupled to the connector, each of the plurality of probe having an electrode formed at a body thereof. The plurality of probes are arranged with intervals in a length direction of the connector, and the connector surrounds an outer circumference of a nerve, and the plurality of probes pierce the outer circumference of the nerve and are inserted into the nerve.
Abstract:
A nerve cover for covering a nerve within a living body tissue to protect the nerve includes a base of a flat plate shape, and a pair of covers protruding upward the base to form a hole for receiving a nerve, with one end attached to the base and the other end spaced apart from the one end, wherein when the base is bent in an arch shape when viewed from a side, a spacing between the pair of covers is expanded. In addition, an apparatus for insertion of an electrode structure includes a nerve cover fixing part which fixes the nerve cover with the base being bent, and an electrode structure fixing part in which the electrode structure is mounted, and which linearly moves the mounted electrode structure in an insertion direction to insert the electrode structure into the nerve surrounded by the nerve cover.
Abstract:
A wearable electromyogram sensor system is provided. The wearable electromyogram sensor system includes: an elastic band having a plurality of electrodes; an electromyogram sensor including an electrode connected to an electrode of the band so as to receive a bio-signal related to contraction of a muscle, and configured to sense a change of motion information through the bio-signal or previously sense the change of the motion information before the motion information is changed; and a fixing unit fixing the electromyogram sensor to the band. The electrode of the electromyogram sensor is connected to an electrode at an arbitrary position of the band.

Abstract:
Provided is a tactile transmission device, which includes a base unit forming one surface of the tactile transmission device, a tip-tilt elastic member stacked on the base unit and configured to transmit a tactile feel to a finger of a user in a first direction oriented upward from a bottom surface of the finger and a second direction intersecting the first direction at a predetermined angle, and a cover disposed at an upper side of the tip-tilt elastic member to form another surface of the tactile transmission device.
Abstract:
An electronic device has a touch screen, a protecting panel for protecting the touch screen by covering the touch screen, a vibration actuator coupled to the protecting panel to vibrate the protecting panel, and a control module for collecting location information of an input unit which touches the protecting panel, wherein the control module controls vibration characteristics of the vibration actuator according to a location of the input unit and forms a squeeze film between the input unit and the protecting panel to decrease a frictional force between the input unit and the protecting panel. The protecting panel has a visible area where the touch screen is exposed to be checked by the naked eyes, and an invisible area other than the visible area, and the vibration actuator is coupled to the invisible area.
Abstract:
Provided is a forceps driving apparatus including a body, a gripper installed to be received in the body and formed to be open and closed, an opening and closing member rotatably installed in the body to press or release two sides of the gripper by rotation, an elastic member connected to one side of the opening and closing member to provide an elastic force to the opening and closing member, an actuator connected to the other side of the opening and closing member to rotate the opening and closing member by contraction or extension, and a force sensing module to measure a gripping force of the gripper during the rotation of the opening and closing member.
