Abstract: The present invention discloses a laser emission system comprising a laser emission device for irradiation a laser to an area of a targeted object; a monitoring device; a display unit for displaying an image captured by the monitoring device; and a control unit connected to the monitoring device and the display unit. Here, the control unit receives the information on a movement direction and a moving distance of the laser emission device and distinguishes between an area emitted with a laser by the laser emission device and an area which is not emitted with a laser, and then displays them on the display unit. Regardless of the perceived skill of the operator, the present invention prevents the irradiation of the area from being omitted and prevents the area from being excessively or insufficiently emitted in the laser treatment.

Abstract: A ballistocardiogram (BCG) analysis apparatus, method, and system is provided for utilizing the BCG for a vehicle. A basic pattern is selected when measurement of a BCG is initiated. Data about BCG is measured for a predetermined period of time. Whether the basic pattern is suitable for the measured data is determined by comparing the measured data with the basic pattern. If the basic pattern is suitable for the measured BCG data, continuous data about the BCG is collected. Signal processing is performed based on pattern matching using the continuous data. A biological condition of the examinee is recognized using results of the signal processing. A posture of the examinee is measured, and if the posture of the examinee has changed, a pattern DB is searched, the basic pattern is changed to a suitable pattern, and then signal processing is performed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a surgical robot control apparatus, in which a control stick member is connected to an upper surface of a base member, pivots and rotates around a connection portion, and is provided with a rotary button control member, a mode switching button member, and a control member which can be operated with the thumb Thus, the surgical robot control apparatus can realize multiple functions. A surgeon can grasp the control stick member to easily control operation of a surgical robot and can perform other work using the other hand. Thereby, when performing surgery, the surgical robot control apparatus remarkably reduces the fatigue of the surgeon, thereby providing a surgical environment that is convenient and safe and provides maximized efficiency. Further, the surgical robot control apparatus can increase the safety of a patient using a safety device based on a buttons and software while performing surgery.

The apparatus includes: a loop suture being threaded through skin; a tightening member for gathering both ends of the threaded loop suture at one point and for exerting a pressure of wound tightening force evenly on skin; a pulling member for pulling the loop suture in order to tighten the threaded loop suture; a housing member for housing the pulling member and making the loop suture tightened by transformation of a pulling force to a wound tightening force when pulling member pulls the loop suture out of skin; and a locking member for fixing a position of the pulling member to maintain the tightened status.

Abstract: A method for the fabrication of a mesoporous metal electrode in a non-liquid crystalline phase was tested. Specifically, there was tested the efficacy of the method for the fabrication of a mesoporous metal electrode which comprises forming the mesoporous metal electrode on a substrate by chemical or electrochemical reduction of a mixture comprising a solvent, a structure-directing agent, and a source of a metal, characterized in that the mixture is maintained in a non-liquid crystal phase. Furthermore, the usefulness of the mesoporous metal electrode thus prepared from the non-liquid crystalline phase was also tested. The mesoporous metal electrode prepared from the non-liquid crystalline phase had a large surface area, and a roughness factor thereof was controlled by charges passed during electroplating. The method made it possible to fabricate the mesoporous metal electrode in the non-liquid crystalline phase, even more flexible than a liquid crystalline phase.
