  • Publication number: 20100076262
    Abstract: An endoscope inspection system. An image-capturing device is disposed on an endoscope probe and is electrically connected to a signal conditioning unit. A differential electrode set includes an annular detecting electrode and a reference electrode. The annular detecting electrode surrounds the endoscope probe. The annular detecting electrode, reference electrode, and display are electrically connected to the signal conditioning unit.

  • Publication number: 20100057116
    Abstract: The present invention provides a porous material conduit and a method for preparing the same, wherein the porous material conduit includes a porous material basal body and one or more conduit-shaped structures formed in the porous material basal body by laser, and method includes the steps of providing a porous material basal body and injecting a laser beam there into, so as to form a conduit-shaped structure in the porous material basal body to obtain a desired porous material conduit, thereby overcoming the drawback of damages to the porous material basal body caused by an uneven force applied when employing a conventional hole drilling technique. Moreover, a plurality of conduit-shaped structures in a multidirectional intersecting alignment may be easily obtained by adjusting relative displacements and varying the injection angle, of the laser beam with respect to the basal body and of the laser beam.

  • Publication number: 20090118580
    Abstract: An image-type intubation-aiding device comprises a small-size image sensor and a light source module both placed into an endotracheal tube to help doctors with quick intubation. Light from light emission devices in the light source module passes through a transparent housing and is reflected by a target and then focused. The optical signal is converted into a digital or analog electric signal by the image sensor for displaying on a display device after processing. Doctors can thus be helped to quickly find the position of trachea, keep an appropriate distance from a patient for reducing the possibility of infection, and lower the medical treatment cost. Disposable products are available to avoid the problem of infection. The intubation-aiding device can be used as an electronic surgical image examination instrument for penetration into a body. Moreover, a light source with tunable wavelengths can be used to increase the spot ratio of nidus.
