  • Patent number: 12059175
    Abstract: A device for adjusting biopsy angles and a biopsy needle guide are provided. The device for adjusting biopsy angles comprises an angle fixing base and a needle guiding base, the needle guiding base being rotatably connected with the angle fixing base at their first ends, the needle guiding base having a needle tract for guiding a biopsy needle, wherein an U-shaped limiting assembly formed on one side of the needle guiding base surrounds a angle fixing sheet extending from the angle fixing base at their second ends, and a positioning adjuster mounted on the U-shaped limiting assembly is movably engaged with positioning holes on the angle fixing sheet so as to be inserted into the positioning holes or be released out of the positioning holes. The needle guiding base can be rotated at a large angle to disengage from the angle fixing sheet, and is convenient for cleaning.

  • Patent number: 11953405
    Abstract: A tracer particle spreading device for a boundary layer flow visualization experiment based on a flat plate includes a tracer particle generator, a smoke storage box, and a wall-surface particle distribution box. Fume and oil are pressurized by a micro pump and flows into a heating pipe to be heated and vaporized, and then is ejected from a nozzle to form tracer particles. The tracer particles enter the smoke storage box via a smoke guiding tube. An axial flow fan is mounted on a wall surface of the smoke storage box. The tracer particles enter a cavity of the wall-surface particle distribution box via the smoke guiding tube, and the tracer particles are rectified by a rectifying plate and ejected from a spreading slit. An outlet of the spreading slit is at an angle of 15° with respect to an experiment flat plate.

  • Publication number: 20220315806
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a micro-groove drag reduction flexible film and a preparation method thereof. The micro-groove film has a triangular groove structure on the upper surface along the direction of an air flow, and an adhesive layer on the lower surface for quick adhesion to an aircraft surface. After the surface of the aircraft is covered with a micro-groove film, it could limit the spanwise movement of the bottom air at the boundary layer of the aircraft surface, improve the flow field characteristics of the aircraft near the wall, and effectively reduce the frictional resistance of the wall. The micro-groove flexible film is prepared by a roller hot pressing method. The triangular groove structure is processed on the surface of the mold roller of the double roller hot press. After pretreatment of the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer film, a micro-groove structure is hot-pressed on the surface of the TPU film.

  • Patent number: 8137281
    Abstract: A structure for attaching a needle guide to an ultrasound probe is provided, which includes a probe casing and a needle guide. The probe casing includes a head part provided at a front side of the probe casing and a grasping part provided at a back side of the probe casing and connected with the head part. The needle guide includes a generally “C”-shaped or arcuate clip adapted to be clamped onto the probe casing. The probe casing has opposite outer surfaces each being formed with an outwardly opened and elongated guiding slot extended along a front-back direction. The clip has two clamping arms, each clamping arm having an inner surface opposing to that of the other clamping arm, each inner surface being provided with an elongated clamping protrusion adapted to match and fit with the guiding slot of the probe casing. The clamping protrusions provided on the clamping arm extend in a direction generally perpendicular to the protruding direction of the clamping arms.
