  • Patent number: 12640734
    Abstract: A sensing device may include a first sensor of a first type. The first sensor may include a first conductive element, a second conductive element, and a reactive material between the first conductive element and the second conductive element. The sensing device further including a second sensor of a second type that may be different from the first type. The second sensor may use the first conductive element as a conductive element in the second sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230304875
    Abstract: A force sensing device may include a plate and a sensor plate. The sensor plate may be a first surface coupled to the plate and a second surface opposite the first surface. The sensor plate may also include an actuation structure coupled to the second surface and extending away from the second surface of the sensor plate. The force sensing device may further include a sensor aligned with the sensor plate such that a first force applied to the plate causes the actuation structure to directly contact and apply a second force to the sensor. The force sensing device may be used to determine a location, a magnitude, and/or an angle of the force applied on the plate.

  • Patent number: 11712390
    Abstract: An oral rehabilitation device for rehabilitating the oral cavity of a user includes a device body, a first activating member, an upper-jaw member, a lower-jaw member, and a processing unit. The first activating member is disposed on an end of the device body. The upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member are connected to the same end of the device body and are for contacting an upper jaw and lower jaw of the user, respectively. The processing unit is coupled to the first activating member and is used to control the first activating member to drive one of the upper-jaw member and the lower jaw member to open or close relative to the other of the upper-jaw member and the lower-jaw member, such that the upper jaw and the lower jaw can be rehabilitated. The present invention further discloses a medical treatment system to which the oral rehabilitation device is linked.

  • Patent number: 10610720
    Abstract: A mouth-opening training device includes a water-filled bag having a zigzag edge or a sawtooth edge. By increasing or decreasing the amount of water located inside the water-filled bag to alter the total thickness of the water-filled bag, the device can accommodate different thickness of occlusion of teeth of a patient. The device can make a further improvement on layers of flavor in occlusion of the teeth. The device can further include a plurality of pivotable plate-shaped objects connected or coupled to the water-filled bag. The plate-shaped objects can provide different thickness combinations and further meet the user demands on thickness of occlusion of the teeth.

  • Publication number: 20150125327
    Abstract: A pumping device includes a frame body, a pump body, a piston rod, a drive shaft, a main guiding member, a carrier block, a plug unit, and a rotary-to-linear motion conversion mechanism disposed between the carrier block and the drive shaft so as to convert rotation of the drive shaft to linear motion of the carrier block. A shaft axis of the drive shaft and a piston axis of the piston rod cooperatively define a vertical plane. A bottom surface of the carrier block is guided by the main guiding member and defines a bottom plane which is orthogonal to the vertical plane.
