  • Patent number: 9889341
    Abstract: The present description relates to a dysphagia rehabilitation apparatus to help tongue muscle rehabilitation exercise during dysphagia rehabilitation. More particularly, it relates to a device that when a patient wearing the dysphagia rehabilitation device contacts the tongue to a position sensing unit configured on the front of a mask, a sensing single according to a change of a physical value of resistance corresponding to the tongue's touching position from the position sensing unit. Then a control unit of a remote device generates a control signal through the transmitted sensing signal, thereby the remote device controls rehabilitation, games and programs of similar functions thereof and induce patient's interest of rehabilitation. Thus, effect of rehabilitation is improved.

  • Patent number: 9714935
    Abstract: Provided are a noninvasive measurement of cell signals and a method thereof, wherein the measurement method can ascertain cell proliferation and differentiation states using MRS and can enable cells to be reused so that cell states can be evaluated with improved reproducibility and reliability. And since the cell signals are noninvasively measured using the MRS, the corresponding cells can be reused so that the cost and time needed for one experiment can be remarkably reduced.

  • Patent number: 7012259
    Abstract: A structure of a TFT substrate for a high resolution digital x-ray detector, in which two TFT substrates are arranged to be a double substrate by overlapping each other such that an upper plate is moved ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along one axis. Thus, a difference in movement between the upper and lower plates is a ½ pixel distance. Also, two virtual pixels are obtained from one pixel. Three TFT substrates are arranged to be a triple substrate by overlapping one another such that a middle plate is moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to a lower plate in a direction along an X axis and an uppermost plate is arranged by being moved a ½ pixel distance with respect to the lower plate in a direction along a Y axis. Thus, resolution is increased as data of one pixel is divided into four data to be analyzed and an measured value of a pixel of each overlapping substrate is compared.

  • Publication number: 20040200972
    Abstract: Provided is an X-ray image detector in which an organic conductive polymer layer which generates electron-hole pairs in reaction to a radioactive ray is employed as an X-ray receptor. In the X-ray image detector, organic conductive polymer substituting a-Se that is an existing photoconductive substance is used and a fluorescent layer diverging light of a visible ray area that is a polymer absorption wavelength band is combined, to detect an electric signal of a polymer having a photoconductive characteristic.

  • Patent number: 6333630
    Abstract: A magnetic field generating apparatus for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system adopting a C-shaped open magnet support structure includes a pair of polygonal permanent magnets disposed parallel to each other in the horizontal plane, with a predetermined imaging area therebetween; a pair of polygonal magnetic pole plates, stacked to face each other on the inner sides of the pair of permanent magnets, respectively; a pair of yokes to which the permanent magnets are fixed; at least one column for connecting the two yokes at one ends thereof with the imaging area being interposed between the yokes, wherein the at least one column together with the pair of yokes forms a closed path of the magnetic field; shims disposed at the vertexes of the polygonal magnetic pole plates, the shims having a polygonal shape, wherein the shims of one of the polygonal magnetic pole plates face those of the other polygonal magnetic pole plate; peripheral permanent magnets disposed along the edges of the polygonal magnetic pole p
