  • Patent number: 9763620
    Abstract: A head mounted system includes a physiological signal sensor, a signal processing circuit, a memory, an application processor, and an eyeglass frame. The physiological signal sensor monitors a physiological state to output a physiological signal. The signal processing circuit determines whether the physiological state is abnormal according to the physiological signal. When it is not abnormal, the signal processing circuit controls the physiological signal sensor to monitor the physiological state at a first monitoring frequency. When it is abnormal, the signal processing circuit outputs a warning signal, and controls the physiological signal sensor to monitor the physiological state at a second monitoring frequency greater than the first monitoring frequency. The application processor receives the warning signal and stores physiological data corresponding to the physiological signal in the memory.

  • Publication number: 20160279658
    Abstract: An atomizing apparatus for development of biological trace evidence comprises a container which has an opening and a housing space communicating with the opening, a trace evidence developing solution held in the housing space to develop a biological trace evidence and an atomizer located in the opening. The atomizer includes a piezoelectric vibration element in contact with the trace evidence developing solution. The piezoelectric vibration element can shake the trace evidence developing solution via high frequency vibration to form a plurality of small liquid particles to be discharged outside the container. The small liquid particles of the trace evidence developing solution pass through the opening and spray directly on the biological trace evidence to generate an oxidized reduction reaction therewith to produce colored substance to reveal the biological trace evidence in a visible fashion.
