  • Publication number: 20120085908
    Abstract: A bidirectional optical scanner assisting in mammography is revealed. The optical scanner that calculates functional images obtained by diffuse optical tomography, used in combination with a mammography machine can reduce the number of mammograms taken and the dose exposure. The bidirectional optical scanner includes a compression module, a first optical detection module, and a second optical detection module. The same test position of the tested breast can be detected twice in different directions by the first and the second optical detection modules. No matter where the tumor is located, the tumor can be detected. Besides structural images provided by the mammography machine, functional tomographic images of the breast are obtained by the bidirectional optical scanner.

  • Publication number: 20110034794
    Abstract: A blood glucose meter with an independent voice IC supporting post-production adjustment of voice function is provided. The blood glucose meter is allowed to work with a replaceable voice carrier so as to provide voice services in different languages that help users to correctly and easily operate the blood glucose meter. The blood glucose meter features that the voice carrier is not built in the blood glucose meter during production of the blood glucose meter. Instead, a driving module is edited in an IC chip of the blood glucose meter. When an actual ordered amount is confirmed, the different voice carriers can be assembled to a voice-IC expansion port of the blood glucose meter, thereby reducing manufacturing and inventory costs for the blood glucose meter.
