Abstract:
A gas detecting module includes a carrying plate, a sensor, a compartment body and an actuator. The carrying plate has a substrate and a gas opening. The compartment body is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment by a partition plate. The first compartment has an opening. The second compartment has an outlet and accommodates the actuator. The bottom of the compartment body has an accommodation recess receiving the carrying plate, whereby the gas opening is aligned with the outlet, and the sensor packaged on the substrate is disposed within the first compartment through the opening. The partition plate has a notch. The gas detecting module is assembled in a slim-type portable device having a casing. The casing has an inlet aligned with the first compartment. As the actuator is actuated, ambient gas is inhaled into the first compartment, and the sensor detects the gas flowing therethrough.
Abstract:
A positive airway pressure apparatus is disclosed and includes a mask, a micro pump and a processor. The mask is fastened on a user's face and is spatially corresponding to an airway opening of the user, so as to form a closed space. The micro pump is assembled with the cover and is in fluid communication with the exterior of the mask. The processor transmits an actuation control signal to the micro pump so as to actuate the micro pump. Consequently, air is transported into the closed space from the exterior of the mask, and a positive pressure airflow is formed and flows into the airway of the user. A pressure sensor is disposed within the closed space to detect the pressure of the closed space, so that the processor can determine the respiratory state of the user and control the air pressure output of the micro pump correspondingly.
Abstract:
A gas detecting device includes a casing, at least one gas transporting actuator, at least one valve and at least one external sensor. The casing has an airflow chamber, an inlet, a branch channel and a connection channel. The airflow chamber communicates with the exterior of the casing through the inlet, and the branch channel communicates with the airflow chamber and the connection channel. The gas transporting actuator is disposed within the branch channel for transporting air into the airflow chamber and the branch channel from the inlet. The valve is disposed between the connection channel and the branch channel for controlling the air to flow into the connection channel. The external sensor is detachably disposed within the connection channel and has a sensor for measuring the air in the connection channel.
Abstract:
A blood glucose monitoring and controlling system includes a detecting device and a liquid supplying device. The detecting device includes a first microneedle patch, a liquid pumping actuator, a sensor and a monitoring and controlling chip. The liquid supplying device includes a second microneedle patch, a liquid supplying actuator, a liquid supplying chamber and a liquid supplying and controlling chip. The detecting device is used to measure the blood glucose level of the user, and the liquid supplying device is used to supply insulin liquid. While the detecting device measures that the blood glucose level of the user is abnormal, the liquid supplying device is actuated to inject the insulin liquid into the user's body, thereby stabilizing the user's blood glucose level constantly.
Abstract:
A wearable blood pressure measuring device includes a strap structure, a micro gas pump and a pressure sensor. The strap structure is adapted to be worn by a user and has an outer surface and an inner surface. The micro gas pump is disposed on the strap structure. The pressure sensor is combined with the micro gas pump through an elastic medium, disposed on the inner surface of the strap structure and in contact with skin of the user for monitoring blood pressure. The micro gas pump is operated to drive gas, wherein the gas is transported into the elastic medium to inflate the elastic medium with the gas. The expanded elastic medium pushes the pressure sensor to press against the skin of the user for facilitating measurement of a blood pressure of a target artery by a flattening and scanning operation.
Abstract:
A fluid system includes a fluid active region, a fluid channel, a convergence chamber and plural valves. The fluid active region includes at least one fluid-guiding unit enabled to transport fluid and the fluid is discharged out through an outlet aperture of the fluid active region. The fluid channel is in communication with the outlet aperture, and includes plural branch channels. The convergence chamber is in communication with the fluid channel. Each valve includes a base, a piezoelectric actuator and a linking bar. When the piezoelectric actuator is enabled, the carrier plate is driven to move, and the stopping part of the linking bar is correspondingly moved to selectively close or open an outlet of the base. Each valve is disposed in the corresponding branch channel, and the fluid is selectively transported through the branch channels under control of the on/off states of the valves disposed therein.

Abstract:
A pair of glasses with a wearing cushion device comprises a main body, an inflatable cushion system, an air pump, a switch element, a control unit and an air channel. The inflatable cushion system comprises two supporting cushions and two buffer cushions. When the switch element is turned on, the switch element issues an enabling signal to the control unit and the control unit enables the air pump in response to the enabling signal. When the air pump is enabled, an ambient gas is transferred to the two supporting cushions and the two buffer cushions through the air channel. The two supporting cushions and the two buffer cushions are inflated with the gas and expanded, so as to fit closely on the ears of the user by the two buffer cushions, and fit closely on the bridge of the nose of the user by the supporting cushions.
