  • Publication number: 20100036210
    Abstract: An elastic cloth device with a function of physiological detection includes two elastic bodies, two fastening elements, and a connecting strap. The two elastic bodies are aligned with an interval in-between and each includes an elastic cloth strap woven with at least one strain sensing unit; wherein the strain sensing unit has a surface emerging from the elastic cloth strap. Each fastening element is combined with one end of the corresponding elastic body and electrically coupled with the corresponding strain sensing unit. The connecting strap is connected with the ends of the elastic bodies so that the elastic bodies are spacedly connected in series. Accordingly, when a physiological strain reaction has an effect on the elastic cloth straps, the straps drive the strain sensing units to produce a physiological strain signal which is electrically transmitted to the fastening elements, thereby the function of physiological detection is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6213954
    Abstract: Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a pulse meter comprising a pen body installed with a counting microprocessor, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a counter are installed on the proper position of the pen body. The counting microprocessor is connected with the LCD and the counting key. One hand may press a tested person or a patient for sensing the beat of the pulse thereof, and the other hand serves to press a counting key to count the times of the pulse, and thus the frequency of the pulse can be input into the counting microprocessor. Next, the counting microprocessor can derive the pulse number per minute and then display the result in the LCD. Since only a short period of pulse beat is necessary to be input the counting microprocessor. Thus the pulse frequency can be derived in a very short time and much time is saved.
