  • Patent number: 11202658
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for simultaneously fixing a screw head and a rod, wherein the connector can be firmly fixed to a screw head and a rod, which have been surgically inserted, without requiring disassembly of the screw head and the rod, thus minimizing damage to the affected region. The connector may comprise: a connecting block in which a head accommodation hole portion is formed on one side thereof to be able to accommodate at least a portion of a screw head installed in a vertebral body, and a rod accommodation groove portion is formed on the other side thereof to be able to accommodate at least a portion of a rod that extends from the screw head; a connecting rod formed in a shape extending from the connecting block; and a fixing device that fixes the connecting block to the screw head.

  • Patent number: 9671353
    Abstract: Provided are apparatus and system for pest detection and a method for detecting pest damage to prevent pest damage in wooden building structures. The apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a post-shaped main body extending in a set direction and formed therealong, and comprising a plurality of holes distanced from each other with a wall therebetween, the wall comprising timber which can be despoiled by pest; and a sensor unit allowing attachment and detachment to and from the upper end of the main body. Here, the sensor unit may comprise: a light-emitting unit comprising at least one light-emitting body for irradiating the interior of at least one hole among the plurality of holes; a sensing unit for sensing the light, emitted from the light-emitting unit, in the interior of at least one hole from among the plurality of holes; and a detection unit for outputting a light signal received from the sensing unit as an electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 9421592
    Abstract: An asymmetric rolling method for rolling a rolling material by using at least one pair of working rolls comprises rolls rotating at the same linear velocity and having different diameters. An asymmetric rolling apparatus may comprise a first roll contacting a first surface of a rolling material, a second roll having a diameter different from that of the first roll and contacting a second surface of the rolling material opposite to the first surface, and a power providing unit for providing power to each of the first and second rolls to adjust a ratio between angular velocities of the first and second rolls.

  • Publication number: 20120231971
    Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for detecting analytes, in which an analyte-receptor complex that is formed by a coupling of an analyte and a receptor is separated from a free receptor that has not been coupled with the analyte, to then detect the analyte-receptor complex. The method and apparatus for detecting analytes does not only provide an effect of detecting various substances with a single sensor chip, but also provides advantages of detecting a particular object substance from a sample containing a number of substances and easily amplifying a signal.
