  • Publication number: 20130289370
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for detecting a blood glucose level of a subject using an electromagnetic wave. Because a different blood glucose level is accompanied by a different electromagnetic absorption constant, the present invention compares a detected blood glucose electromagnetic absorption constant of the subject with data in a blood glucose electromagnetic absorption constant database so as to obtain a blood glucose concentration of the subject. The present invention also provides a device for detecting a blood glucose level of the subject using the electromagnetic wave.

  • Patent number: 8210781
    Abstract: A processing machine includes a machine bed, a spindle seat, a sliding rail unit, and a driving unit. The sliding rail unit is disposed between the machine bed and the spindle seat. The driving unit is used for driving the spindle seat to move within a slot in the machine bed, and includes a threaded rod journalled on a junction between a bottom wall surface and a lateral wall surface of the machine bed, and a nut member disposed fixedly on a junction between a bottom surface and a lateral side surface of the spindle seat and engaging the threaded rod.

  • Publication number: 20100249982
    Abstract: In a displacement compensation control method and module for an object mounted movably on a driving rod unit and movable between first and second positions relative to the driving rod unit during processing, a detecting unit determines a displacement amount of a free end of the driving rod unit from a reference position in an axial direction of the driving rod unit as a result of thermal deformation of the driving rod unit during high-speed rotation. A control unit controls the driving rod unit to rotate based on the displacement amount so that the object moves between first and second compensation positions relative to the driving rod unit. A distance between the first position and the first compensation position, and a distance between the second position and the second compensation position are equal to the displacement amount.

  • Publication number: 20090245961
    Abstract: A machining apparatus includes a support frame, first and second workbenches, and a tool-mounting unit. The support frame includes a first horizontal frame part, and a second horizontal frame part disposed above the first horizontal frame part. The first and second workbenches are mounted slidably on the first horizontal frame part of the support frame, and is slidable relative to the support frame in a first horizontal direction. The tool-mounting unit is mounted slidably on the second horizontal frame part of the support frame, and is slidable relative to the support frame in a second horizontal direction transverse to the first horizontal direction.
