  • Patent number: 8974734
    Abstract: An electronic nose device is disclosed in an embodiment of the invention. The electronic nose device includes a fan module, a gas molecule sensor module, a control unit and an output unit. The fan module is used to pump air actively to the gas molecule sensor module. The gas molecule sensor module detects the air pumped into by the fan module. The gas molecule sensor module at least includes a gas molecule sensor which is covered with a compound. The compound is used to combine preset gas molecules. The control unit controls the fan module to suck air into the electronic nose device. Then the fan module transmits an air current to the gas molecule sensor module to generate a detected data. The output unit calculates the detected data to generate a calculation result and outputs an indicating signal to an operator or compatible host computer according to the calculation result.

  • Publication number: 20090224699
    Abstract: According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a lighting fixture is provided with a housing space to receive a retractable sensor module. The housing space is provided with an internal holder with electrical circuitry to operate the lighting fixture. The internal holder is essentially cylindrical in shape, with one closed end. The closed end is provided with openings and slots for screw and wires. The internal holder allows for pan rotation of a retractable sensor module. The retractable sensor module includes a control module comprising a top cover, a lower cover and a printed circuit board sub-assembly inside, and a lens assembly. The printed circuit board sub-assembly comprises a power printed circuit board, a sensor printed circuit board, with a printed circuit board and a transmitter printed circuit board. The lens assembly constitutes dotted lenses.

  • Publication number: 20060180468
    Abstract: An electric driven protein immobilizing module and method aims at immobilizing proteins rapidly and steadily on the surface of a selected support. The invention employs the characteristics of proteins/enzymes forming a slightly negative charge in a buffer solution. An external electric field is set up to drive the proteins/enzymes to be adsorbed onto the support. The invention improves upon conventional absorption or bonding methods that fix the protein in a non-directional approach which results in masking the protein active site and subsequently loss the protein activity. Thus activity of the protein/enzyme improved, while the time-consuming problem and enzymatic activity loss problem of incubation and vacuum absorption method may be avoided.
