  • Patent number: 10064544
    Abstract: A closed-loop endoscopic capsule including a sensor recording biological information reflecting the inner condition of a gastrointestinal tract, an expander which is inflatable and holds the endoscopic capsule in the gastrointestinal tract, a medication releaser releasing medication for treatment, and a controller for processing the recorded biological information to generate control signals for the expander and the releaser. An endoscopic system that includes the endoscopic capsule, an external station for data processing, and a mobile device for human-machine interaction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9795694
    Abstract: The present invention is in the field of pharmaceuticals and chemical industries. In particular, one aspect of the present invention relates to methods for labeling, imaging and detecting the beta-amyloid (A?) peptides, oligomers, and fibrils in vitro and in vivo via magnetic resonance and florescence imaging by using modified carbazole-based fluorophores. A further aspect of the present invention relates to a method of reducing and preventing aggregation of beta-amyloid peptides for Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as of treating and/or preventing Alzheimer's disease by using the modified carbazole-based fluorophore. The modified carbazole-based fluorophore according to an embodiment of the present invention is prepared by conjugating a carbazole-based fluorophore with magnetic nanoparticles to form a conjugate which is permeable to blood brain barrier of a subject being introduced therewith.

  • Publication number: 20050261593
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring an arterial blood pressure of a subject comprising detecting a pulse-wave-related signal of the subject; extracting a feature from the signals; determining a factor that can affect the arterial blood pressure of the subject; and determining the arterial blood pressure based on the feature with an automatic compensation for the factors. The disclosed method reduces the error in measuring the blood pressure based on characteristics of the pulse-wave-related signals.
