  • Patent number: 10786326
    Abstract: A surgical image pickup system utilizes an adjustable lens set and a complex lens set to change the direction of the incident light emitted from the light source and the position of the surgical site on which the incident light projects. The eyepiece and the sensor have the same field of view and the same optical axis such that first image generated by the sensor and a second image generated by the eyepiece are the same. The sensor transmits the first image to the external display for display by wireless communication. By means of the foregoing configuration, the second image which doctor utilizes the eyepiece to see and the first image which the external display displays are the same, thereby facilitating the operation of surgery.

  • Patent number: 8921075
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a nanoparticle chain is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: providing a single-stranded circular primer with a determined length, and amplifying the single-stranded circular primer into single-stranded DNA nanotemplate by an isothermal nucleotide amplification reaction such that an end of the single-stranded DNA nanotemplate is fixed to a surface of a substrate; and adding a single-stranded DNA probe conjugated with nanoparticle at one end of which, and attaching the single-stranded DNA probe to the corresponding sequence on the single-stranded DNA nanotemplate to form a nanoparticles chain. The method of manufacturing a nanoparticle chain further comprises providing a fluid, and the flowing direction of the fluid controls the aligning direction of the nanoparticle chain. Wherein, the inter-nanoparticle distance of the nanoparticle chain can be adjusted by adjusting a reaction temperature or adding the single-stranded DNA probe without conjugating with nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 8563245
    Abstract: A method that modifies surface properties of a substrate by manipulating the immobilized biomolecules in mild biological condition. The manipulation comprised steps of: providing a biomolecule combined with at least one ssDNA combined with a first protein through an affinity binding tag; adding a second ssDNA conjugated with a second protein with a concentration greater than that of the first protein; and replacing the first protein on the ssDNA with the second protein through chemical competitive principle. The invention may comprise the steps with proper design of biotinylated DNA probes, the functionalized ssDNA nanotemplates can be recovered to its unbound state through a thermodynamic principle.
