Abstract: Disclosed herein are a valve and a micro fluid pump having the same. The valve is mounted in a micro fluid pump having a capillary tube, to which a gas supply unit and a fluid transfer pipe are connected, for controlling the introduction and the discharge of fluid. The valve includes a discharge pipe filled with liquid such that the discharge pipe has a predetermined resistance pressure and constructed in a structure in which one end of the discharge pipe is connected to the capillary tube such that the discharge pipe communicates with the interior of the capillary tube, and the other end of the discharge pipe is open, thereby allowing gas out of the capillary tube through the discharge pipe when a gas pressure in the capillary tube exceeds the resistance pressure of the discharge pipe.

Abstract: An erythrocyte sedimentation rate log capable of quickly and easily measuring an erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the blood by measuring the number of erythrocytes in the blood passing through a branched channel from a small amount of blood in an electrical manner without an additional driving means is disclosed. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate log includes a main body formed of an upper plate and a lower plate, a blood introduction part formed in the main body to include an inlet and an outlet formed at one side of the upper plate of the main body, a channel disposed at one side of the blood introduction part to communicate with the blood introduction part such that erythrocytes in blood pass through the channel, and a current supply part installed in the channel to supply constant current to cause an electrical resistance in erythrocytes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable micro blood separator, which has a blood separator including a main body including an upper substrate and a lower substrate; a blood introduction unit formed at one side of the main body for allowing blood to be introduced into the separator; a blood inflow unit including an inflow groove formed in the lower substrate, through which the blood introduced by the blood introduction unit flows; and a plasma extraction unit including extraction spaces extended from the blood inflow unit and having a height lower than that of the inflow groove of the blood inflow unit so that plasma can be separated from the blood flowing into the blood inflow unit, so as to separate the plasma and corpuscles from the blood and analyze ingredients in the separated plasma.

Abstract: A wing type ultrasonic transducer is free from a reduction in the output power and has one ultrasonic generator. This ultrasonic generator has piezoelectric ceramic materials with two countermasses respectively coupled to the outside ends of the piezoelectric ceramic materials. A rod-like resonator is coaxially coupled to the outside end of each of the countermasses and is used to emit ultrasonic waves to a liquid in a radial direction. An immersible housing covers the ultrasonic generator so as to accomplish a water tightness of the ultrasonic generator. The rod-like resonator may be a solid resonator or hollow resonator. In addition, the rod-like resonator is integral times as long as a half-wavelength (&lgr;/2) at an operating resonant frequency.

Abstract: A power ultrasonic transducer according to the present invention includes: an ultrasonic generator comprised of two pairs of piezoceramic elements which are adjoined to be coupled to each other on the same shaft and a countermass attached at the both ends of the piezoceramic elements; a hollow type body having a length of integer times of half wavelength, in which the ultrasonic generator is positioned; a cylindrical transmitting rod having a length of integer times of half wavelength and for connecting the one side of the body with the one side of the ultrasonic generator to be fixed on the both sides of the ultrasonic generator, respectively; and a threaded stud for securing an electric wire for power supply at the one side end of the outside of the body, the electric wire for power supply passing through the countermass and the interior of the transmitting rod each positioned in the interior of the body to be wired to the piezoceramic elements.
