  • Patent number: 9857444
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus which includes a connector. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a static coil module configured to form a static field in a bore, a gradient coil module which includes at least one primary coil configured to form a gradient field in the static field and at least one shield coil configured to cancel an eddy current formed in the static coil module, and a connector which includes a base made of an insulating material and a plurality of conductors which are coupled to the base and which are configured to connect the at least one primary coil and the at least one shield coil.

  • Patent number: 8221703
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device for collecting a sample, which is intended to dispense a received sample onto a measurement strip. The device includes a main body and a pair of receiving pieces. The receiving pieces protrude from a first end of the main body in such a way as to be spaced apart from each other while facing each other, and receive the sample by capillary force acting on a space which is defined between the receiving pieces and which is open on right, left and bottom sides. The device allows the received sample to be easily transferred to a reaction zone of a measurement strip, and enables the sample to be completely absorbed by the reaction zone because of capillary force in a receiving area when the device comes into contact with the reaction zone of the strip.

  • Patent number: 8158080
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a biosensor. The biosensor includes a measuring layer configured to measure whether reaction to a biological sample has occurred. An upper cover is disposed on a top of the measuring layer, and is provided with an open window configured to allow a measurement area of the measuring layer to be exposed and an upper protrusion configured to protrude from an outer portion of the open window in a direction in which the upper protrusion is coupled to a lower panel. The lower panel is disposed below the measuring layer, and is provided with a lower protrusion which protrudes between the open window and the upper protrusion of the upper cover so that the lower protrusion is spaced apart from the upper protrusion by a gap and which presses the measuring layer so that a top of the measuring layer upwardly protrudes from the open window.
