Abstract: A cell mechanical stimulating device for applying to at least one cell sample is provided. The device includes a base unit, at least one moving component and at least one magnetic component. The base unit includes a base body and a separating lid. The base body includes at least one culturing chamber and a bottom chamber surface. The cell sample is disposed in the culturing chamber, and the separating lid encloses the culturing chamber. The magnetic component drives the moving component to shift between a pressurizing position and a non-pressurizing position. At the pressurizing position, the moving component moves toward the bottom chamber surface and pressurizes the cell sample. At the non-pressurizing position, the moving component moves toward the separating lid and the pressure on the cell sample is removed. The cell sample is pressurized by the magnetic component driving the moving component.

Abstract: Provided herein is a display system for medical information and a method for generating display content. The system is applicable to a medical institution for monitoring statuses of patient beds. The system includes a patient bed system and a central serving system. The central serving system receives data generated by medical instruments around the patient beds simultaneously. In the central serving system, the data is analyzed and compared with thresholds for classifying the statuses of the patients. After visualizing the data, an information display panel is incorporated to display the information with respect to each of the patient beds. The status at each patient bed can be expressed by various graphic charts and shown on the panel. The different degrees of the statuses of patients are shown with different display effects that can be provided for the medical staff to determine and deal with emergency situations immediately.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid drainage assembly for an automatic, roll-up door and has an attaching member connecting a drip tray to a surface proximate the door. The attaching member moves drip tray from a position where the tray is disposed under a bottom edge of the door to collect liquid flowing across the bottom edge when the door is in an open position to a position where the tray is outside the vertical plane in which the door moves to allow the door to move to a closed position. A motor moves the door in response to signals received from a controller which ensures coordinated movement of the door and the drip tray.
