Abstract: The present invention relates to an RF treatment apparatus, the method of controlling the RF treatment apparatus and the skin treatment method using RF energy according to the present invention have an effect in that they can improve the accuracy and efficiency of treatment because whether a target tissue corresponds to a treatment temperature is determined based on impedance of the tissue and the volume of the target tissue corresponding to the treatment temperature can be maximized while maintaining the target tissue to the treatment temperature for a predetermined time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a treatment apparatus and a method of controlling the same, and provides a treatment apparatus including an insertion unit formed in such a way as to be inserted into a tissue through a tissue surface, a bending sensing unit sensing bending of the insertion unit occurring during insertion, and a controller controlling the insertion operation of the insertion unit based on information sensed by the bending sensing unit, and a method of controlling the same. In accordance with the present invention, there is an advantage in that a treatment effect can be improved because treatment can be performed in the state in which the insertion unit has been inserted into an accurate target location.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical RF apparatus using an RF pulse, comprising an RF generator, which generates a test pulse for detecting characteristics of tissue; a monitoring unit, which monitors the change in the information on the tissue state while the test pulse is transmitted to the tissue; and a measurement unit, which determines the tissue characteristics of a patient by comparing the values monitored in the monitoring unit with the reference data; and a method for controlling the same.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an RF treatment apparatus and a method of controlling the same, and an RF treatment apparatus, further comprising an RF generator for generating RF pulses for treatment having a predetermined energy a plurality of times; a monitoring unit for monitoring information on tissue state by each of the RF pulses; and a control unit for controlling RF pulse parameters by monitoring the information on state detected by the monitoring unit and a method of controlling the same are provided. The present invention enables an optimal treatment by identifying the characteristics of the tissue at a site for treatment followed by transmitting an appropriate RF pulse thereto.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a skin treatment apparatus using RF energy and a skin treatment method using the same. There are provided a skin treatment apparatus using RF energy, including a first handpiece configured to include a first electrode unit coming into contact with a skin surface and to form perforations through which an agent penetrates by transferring RF energy to the skin surface through the first electrode unit, a second handpiece configured to include a second electrode unit inserted into the inside of the skin and to insert the second electrode unit into the inside of the skin into which the agent has penetrated and transfer the RF energy, and a controller configured to control parameters of the RF energy transferred to the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit, and a treatment method using the same.

Abstract: A strainer/filter unit for effectively collecting solid, liquid or gaseous substances at the source and the method of using the strainer/filter unit. The strainer/filter unit includes a housing, a one-way valve at one end of the housing, and a filter having a certain depth and thickness within the housing. The filter is formed from a plurality of layers of material with pores such that pores of one layer partially overlap pores of subsequent adjacent layers. Matters entering the strainer/filter unit are collected in the filter while travelling through filter via a tortuous path.

Abstract: Improved descriptive query techniques are provided. More particularly, techniques are provided for specifying and processing descriptive queries for data providers grouped into provider kinds with hierarchical containment relationships. The query may include arbitrary boolean combinations of arbitrary tests on the values of attributes of the data providers.
