  • Patent number: 11637510
    Abstract: A funnel-shaped underwater energy harvesting equipment includes a piezoelectric element configured to be installed at a seabed and to be moved by a fluid in order to convert vibration energy into electricity. The funnel-shaped underwater energy harvesting equipment further includes a fluid collector coupled to the piezoelectric element and configured to increase velocity of the fluid flowing toward the piezoelectric element. The harvesting equipment exhibits improved energy conversion efficiency, while simplifying the shape of the harvesting equipment.

  • Publication number: 20210231942
    Abstract: A microscopic image acquisition system includes: a microscope apparatus that scans light of multiple wavelengths, transmits the light to an objective lens, and detects a fluorescence signal reflected at a living tissue and transmitted to the objective lens; an endoscope probe including lenses, which is inserted into an implantable device implanted in a living body, transmits an incident light from the objective lens to a side opening at a lower end, and transmits a fluorescence signal emitted from the living tissue labeled with a fluorescent material to the objective lens; and a rotatable probe moving device that fixes the endoscope probe to rotate or vertically move the fixed endoscope probe.
