Patent number: 9995743Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: HTC CorporationInventors: Yi-Chin Tsai, Shih-Jen Lu, Fu-Cheng Fan, Ming-Tien Lin

Patent number: 8556822Abstract: A blood pressure measuring device disclosed in the present invention comprises a base, a reel-type cuff and at least one stopper. The reel-type cuff is elastically and recoverably reeled in the base with one end, and is freely extended out from the base with the other end. The stopper, after being operated, can limit at least one determined length that the reel-type cuff is extended out from the base.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Quanta Computer Inc.Inventors: Yi-Cheng Shih, Feng-Chi Liu, Yi-Chin Tsai

Patent number: 8151575Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Quanta Computer Inc.Inventors: Yu-Min Wu, Yi-Chin Tsai, Kwan-Chiao Liao

Publication number: 20110040196Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2009Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: QUANTA COMPUTER INC.Inventors: Yi-Cheng Shih, Feng-Chi Liu, Yi-Chin Tsai, Shih-Chieh Yen, Kwan-Chiao Liao, Shih-Yan Hung

Publication number: 20100099962Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2008Publication date: April 22, 2010Applicant: QUANTA COMPUTER INC.Inventors: Yung-Ming Chung, Yi-Chin Tsai, Shih-Chieh Yen

Patent number: 7598653Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2007Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Yi-Chin Tsai, Wen-Pin Hsieh, Kai-Cheng Chang
