  • Patent number: 10881854
    Abstract: Provided is a respiratory muscle strengthening device, in which an inhalation start signal is generated correspondingly at an inhalation start time when a patient inhales air or an exhalation start signal is generated correspondingly at an exhalation start time when the patient exhales air, an electric signal according to the inhalation start signal or the exhalation start signal is transmitted to an electric muscle stimulator via a communication unit, a muscle pad installed on respiratory muscles of the patient enables smooth breathing motion by stimulating the respiratory muscles based on a signal transmitted from the electric muscle stimulator, and a receptor pad is provided to the respiratory muscles such that an alarm of determining whether electric stimulation is normally applied via the state of the respiratory muscles detected through the receptor pad is output, thereby securing reliability of a device.

  • Patent number: 9714935
    Abstract: Provided are a noninvasive measurement of cell signals and a method thereof, wherein the measurement method can ascertain cell proliferation and differentiation states using MRS and can enable cells to be reused so that cell states can be evaluated with improved reproducibility and reliability. And since the cell signals are noninvasively measured using the MRS, the corresponding cells can be reused so that the cost and time needed for one experiment can be remarkably reduced.

  • Patent number: 9035883
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying virtual keyboards is disclosed. An electronic device displays (705) a first virtual keyboard on a user interface. The electronic device detects (710) a selection of the first virtual keyboard and identifies (715) a user interaction with the first virtual keyboard. The user interaction can be a drag-and-drop resizing, a multiplicative selection of the user interface, or other gestures. After identifying a location associated with the user interaction, the electronic device determines (735, 750, 760) a second virtual keyboard of a different type than the first virtual keyboard based on the location and displays (740, 765) the second virtual keyboard on the user interface.
