  • Publication number: 20240134136
    Abstract: An optical transceiver module temperature control device includes a processor, a printed circuit board assembly, an optical transceiver module and a temperature adjustment element. The processor is configured to measure an ambient temperature. The printed circuit board assembly includes a first side and a second side. The first side is opposite to the second side. The optical transceiver module is disposed on the first side of the printed circuit board assembly. The temperature adjustment element is coupled to the processor and disposed on the second side of the printed circuit board assembly. The processor is configured to generate a temperature adjustment signal according to the ambient temperature and an operating temperature range. The temperature adjustment element is configured to perform heat exchange with the printed circuit board assembly according to the temperature adjustment signal to adjust a temperature of the optical transceiver module into the operating temperature range.

  • Patent number: 9995743
    Abstract: A test apparatus including a cassette main body, a test strip and a pressurizing assembly is provided. The cassette main body has a sample entrance. The test strip is disposed in the cassette main body, and the sample entrance of the cassette main body exposes a sample collecting region of the test strip. The pressurizing assembly is detachably combined to the cassette main body, and is adapted to exert a pressure on a liquid sample located at the sample entrance, such that the liquid sample enters the sample collecting region, and reacts with the test strip to display a test result. The test apparatus is able to implement quick and convenience test, by which a complicated pre-processing of a test sample is omitted to save a time and test cost.

  • Patent number: 8151575
    Abstract: The invention discloses a temperature variation apparatus for varying the temperature of a liquid. The temperature variation apparatus includes a metal tube, a power supply, a heat conductor, and a thermo-electric cooler (TEC). The liquid is poured into the metal tube. The power supply has an anode and a cathode respectively connected to two ends of the metal tube, so that the metal tube can be electrified to generate heat. The heat conductor encircles and contacts with the metal tube, and the thermo-electric cooler contacts with the heat conductor.

  • Publication number: 20110040196
    Abstract: A blood pressure monitor for measuring a blood pressure of a human body includes a main body, a connecting mechanism, and a sensing unit. The main body surrounds the human body and has a first end portion and a second end portion. The connecting mechanism connects the first end portion with the second end portion at a first position or a second position. When the first end portion and the second end portion are connected at the first position, the human body surrounded thereby has a first circumference, and when the first end portion and the second end portion are connected at the second position, the human body surrounded thereby has a second circumference. The sensing unit, disposed on the body, detects the first position or the second position to determine the first circumference or the second circumference respectively.

  • Publication number: 20100099962
    Abstract: A sensing device for sensing blood of a finger includes a base, a transceiver, a first positioning element and a second positioning element. The base includes a first half portion and a second half portion. The transceiver includes a first transmission element disposed on the first half portion, a second transmission element disposed on the second half portion, and a signal transmitted from one of the first and second transmission elements to the other. The first and second positioning elements are respectively disposed on the first and second half portions. The second positioning element is detachably engaged to the first positioning element. When the finger is disposed between the first and second half portions and the first and second positioning elements are engaged, the finger is located between the first and second transmission elements, and signals transmitted between the first and second transmission elements passes through blood of the finger.

  • Patent number: 7598653
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave (SAW) bio-chip is designed with signal processing circuits. The chip can achieve precise measurements or detection quantitatively via the difference between the experiment-control mode, and followed by amplification and filtering of the signal processing circuits. By changing the designs of the substrate, quantitative detection toward different analyses can be achievable.
