Abstract: An object location guiding device and an operation method thereof are provided. The object location guiding device includes a processor, a controller and a guiding element array. Guiding elements of the guiding element array are disposed at different positions in a field so as to point to storage positions of different objects in the field. The processor converts the object data on an object list into storage-position information. The controller receives the storage-position information from the processor, converts the storage-position information into a first axis position code and a second axis position code, and drives the guiding element array by using the first axis position code and the second axis position code, so as to allow at least one corresponding guiding element of the guiding elements to point to a storage position of a corresponding object in the field.

Abstract: Visible light is a treatment option for Segmental Vitiligo (SV), and visible light-induced repigmentation is associated normalization of sympathetic. Currently it is difficult to predict individual patient's response to visible light therapy. Therefore, the present invention uses the Laser Doppler Flowmeter to serve as a response predictor for visible light on treating SV. The present invention recruited 14 Segmental Vitiligo patients for evaluating clinical information. FirstLaser Doppler Flowmeter was used to evaluate the cutaneous blood flow of SV lesion and contralateral normal skin, and then treated them with visible light irradiate, cold-stress, rewarmed, and recorded the change of skin blood flow, finally the patients received regular visible light treatment for 3 months, and patients have a sign of repigmentation after the treatment.

Abstract: A test socket may include a socket frame, a plate, a socket pin and a link. The socket frame may have a slot configured to accept an object. The plate may be free to move in the slot along an inserting direction of the object to support a lower surface of the object. The socket pin may be movably arranged in a direction substantially perpendicular to the inserting direction of the object. The socket pin may selectively make contact with a tab of the object. A link may be pivotally connected to the socket pin and the plate. Thus, the socket pin of the test socket may avoid dragging along the tab of the object during insertion, and accordingly, the tab of the object may avoid damage.
