  • Patent number: 11925581
    Abstract: A capsulorhexis device is inserted into an incision site of a cornea to make an incision in an anterior capsule surrounding a crystalline lens. The capsulorhexis device includes a loop having elasticity and conductivity; a moving member having one end fixed and coupled to the loop; an insertion guide configured so that, while the incision is being made in the crystalline lens capsule, a front end thereof is inserted into the incision site of the cornea; and a housing having one end coupled to a rear end of the insertion guide, wherein the loop is housed in the housing and, to make the incision in the crystalline lens capsule, slides in the housing together with the moving member to pass through the insertion guide and be deployed into an anterior chamber of the eye.

  • Publication number: 20230390688
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a washable fine dust filter module using nano fibers, the filter module comprising: a filter member (10) having a multi-layered structure that includes a nano fiber layer using nano fibers and is corrugated at regular intervals; and a water-repellent treated filter frame (20) for accommodating the filter member (10). The filter module manufactured using the nano fibers according to the present invention can remove fine dust in the nano fiber layer and an MB filter layer, and thus increase filter efficiency. Also, the filter frame is treated so as to be water repellent, and a hot melt coating layer is applied to only a portion of the thickness of the upper and lower sections of the filter member, such that a user can use the filter module by freely and repeatedly washing the filter module with water (a washable function is imparted).

  • Patent number: 8774910
    Abstract: A polymer linear actuator for a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) and a micro manipulator for a measurement device of cranial nerve signal using the same are provided. The polymer linear actuator has first and second bodies positioned spaced apart to a distance from each other, and one or more pairs of V-type moving units connecting the first and second bodies together, wherein the moving units in pair are opposed to each other to convert a rotation motion of the respective moving units into a linear motion, thereby causing the first and second bodies to move linearly.
