  • Patent number: 8855732
    Abstract: In a non-invasive human metabolic condition measuring apparatus and method, a micro-light source emits an incident light having a wavelength from 329 nm to 473 nm to trigger a mitochondrial metabolite of a human mucosa tissue, and the metabolite is excited to generate a fluorescent signal having a wavelength from 405 nm to 572 nm, and the fluorescent signal is filtered by an optical filter, received by a micro receiver, and amplified by an amplification circuit sequentially, and then a filter circuit and an analog/digital conversion circuit of a microprocessing unit are provided for filtering and performing an analog/digital signal conversion respectively, so that the metabolite content can be calculated by the computation to provide human metabolic conditions, and a combination of micro components and circuits is used for miniaturizing the apparatus to provide a convenient carry of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7720882
    Abstract: A data file management and search method based on file attributes is disclosed. At least one data file, externally imported or generated by a user, is retrieved. Attributes of the data file are edited, a virtual catalog corresponding to the data file is generated, and a catalog tree is built according to the data file and the virtual catalog. The virtual catalog and the data file are displayed by a user interface. A search operation is performed based on a search command to locate at least one required virtual catalog or data file among multiple data files and virtual catalogs. A basic operation is implemented on the located virtual catalog or data file.
