  • Patent number: 10486412
    Abstract: A 3D bio-printer capable of detecting cell activity is provided. The 3D bio-printer includes an upper PC and a lower 3D printer. A conveying hose is connected to a printhead base of the printer, and a temperature controller is connected to the conveying hose. A printhead controller is connected to the other end of the conveying hose, a printhead is connected to the bottom of the printhead controller, and a main control cabinet controls the printhead to work via a signal generator. A prototyping table is provided under the printhead and is connected with a cell activity detecting device for detecting activity of a printed product. Cell activity can be detected in the process of printing, which ensures that the printed biological tissues maintain biological activity. It can supply multi-biological raw materials and realize multi-biological material printing, which ensures an environment suitable for biological material printing.

  • Patent number: 9843275
    Abstract: A generator includes a first member, a second member and a sliding mechanism. The first member includes a first electrode and a first dielectric layer affixed to the first electrode. The first dielectric layer includes a first material that has a first rating on a triboelectric series. The second member includes a second material that has a second rating on the triboelectric series that is different from the first rating. The second member includes a second electrode. The second member is disposed adjacent to the first dielectric layer so that the first dielectric layer is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The sliding mechanism is configured to cause relative movement between the first member and the second member, thereby generating an electric potential imbalance between the first electrode and the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 9812993
    Abstract: A triboelectric generator includes a first contact charging member, a second contact charging member and an electrical load. The first contact charging member has a contact side and an opposite back side. The first contact charging member includes a material that has a first rating on a triboelectric series and also has a conductive aspect. The second contact charging member has a second rating on the triboelectric series, different from the first rating, and is configured to come into contact with the first contact layer and go out of contact with the first contact layer. The electrical load electrically is coupled to the first contact charging member and to a common voltage so that current will flow through the load after the second contact charging member comes into contact with the first contact charging member and then goes out of contact with the first contact charging member.
