Abstract: A multi-phase coupled inductor includes a first iron core, a second iron core, and a plurality of coil windings. The first iron core includes a first body and a plurality of first core posts. The plurality of first core posts are connected to the first body. The second iron core is opposite to the first iron core. The second iron core and the first body are spaced apart from each other by a gap. The plurality of coil windings wrap around the plurality of first core posts, respectively. Each of the coil windings has at least two coils.

Abstract: A method of expanding natural killer cells, comprising: providing a population of internally gelated cells, each of which includes a gelated interior and a fluid cell membrane that contains one or more membrane-bound proteins each or collectively are capable of stimulating expansion of natural killer (NK) cells; and culturing a population of cells containing NK cells, which are capable of responding to the one or more membrane-bound proteins, with the population of internally gelated cells under conditions that allow expansion of NK cells.

Abstract: A patient monitor apparatus coupled to LAN of a hospital is provided. The apparatus comprises a body signal reading module for obtaining at least one body signal, a signal processing module for digitally processing the body signal to obtain at least one record of body data prior to converting into at least one Web page, and a monitor module for showing data, and a network interface interconnected the signal processing module and the LAN for sending the Web page to any computer over the LAN. A medical staff (e.g., nurse or doctor) whether locally or remotely located, can immediately know the conditions of a patient by typing a unique address of the apparatus on a computer by viewing the Web pages of the patient.

Abstract: A circuit apparatus built in a computer peripheral device for detecting physiological signal is disclosed, which has a signal detecting circuit to detect an optical signal from the environmental light source and sends the detected optical signal to a physiological signal processing circuit for performing digital process to obtain a physiological signal. Then, the physiological signal is sent to a computer via an input/output microprocessor circuit for showing the user's physiological state.

Abstract: A mouse capable of detecting physiological signal and detecting environmental luminance is disclosed, which has a shell and a base. A recess is defined in the shell to hold a user's finger. A photo sensor is provided between the wall of the recess and the finger for detecting the environmental photo signal that penetrates through the finger. The photo sensor sends the detected photo signal to a computer via an input/output interface, so that the computer can determine and display the user's physiological state.
