20150150614 | BIONIC FIXING APPARATUS - A bionic apparatus is provided. The bionic apparatus includes a flexible portion having a plurality of pores, a rigid portion connected with the flexible portion, and a supporting element disposed in the flexible portion. The pore size of each pore is between 50 μm to 500 μm. The flexible portion, the rigid portion and the supporting element are one-piece formed by a additive manufacturing process. | 06-04-2015 |
20150150557 | BIONIC FIXING APPARATUS AND APPARATUS FOR PULLING OUT THE SAME - A bionic fixing apparatus is provided. The bionic fixing apparatus includes a body having a through hole and at least one slit. The through hole penetrates the body from the top surface to the bottom surface to form a top opening and a bottom opening. An inner diameter of the top opening is larger than an inner diameter of the bottom opening. The slit is connected to the bottom opening and extends upwardly from the bottom surface of the body, such that the body has a flexible bottom portion. | 06-04-2015 |
20150100078 | Device of Automatic Mechanical Wound Opener for Head and Neck Surgery - A wound opener is provided. An operative field can be created through head/neck soft tissues for introducing the endoscopes and robotic surgical tools. An incision size can be properly adjusted. Thus, endoscopes, robotic arms or other devices can be smoothly introduced into the operative field to evaluate and treat lesions of head and neck soft tissues. Hence, the present invention facilitates surgical procedure, reduces wound size and effectively conceals wound to make it become invisible. | 04-09-2015 |
20130323750 | Method for Analyzing Apoptosis Inducing Factor-2 - A method for analyzing apoptosis inducing factor-2 (AIF-2) is disclosed, which has not been found in urine samples of human patients with chronic kidney disease, to establish AIF-2 as a non-invasive biomarker for chronic kidney disease. The method includes: collecting a plurality of urine samples; conducting western blot for each urine sample for detecting the AIF-2 protein content in each urine sample; and conducting statistical analysis of the AIF-2 protein content in each urine sample to establish AIF-2 as a biological marker for chronic kidney disease. | 12-05-2013 |
20120220648 | Method of Treating Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase (AADC) Deficiency Using Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-AADC Vector - An adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector is used for treating aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency. The AAV vector is directly injected into human brain through a stereotactic technique. Activity of AADV is thus recovered for solving the problem of movement disorder. | 08-30-2012 |
20120029292 | CURVED LARYNGOSCOPE AND OPERATION INSTRUMENT ASSEMBLY APPLYING THE SAME - A curved laryngoscope and an operation instrument assembly applying the same are provided, wherein the curved laryngoscope is provided with a guiding structure and a locating device. The guiding structure and the locating device can be individually or both adopted in the curved laryngoscope to assist various operation instruments in moving and being located reliably, and therefore improve the reliability, accuracy and facility in operation using the curved laryngoscope. | 02-02-2012 |
20120017918 | Oral Fixation Device and Fixing Method Using the Same - An oral fixation device and an oral fixing method using the same are provided. The oral fixation device includes a U-shaped brace and an arch board. The arch board is connected to an inner wall of the U-shaped brace, wherein the central part of the arch board is thicker than the connecting part, and the maximum thickness of the arch board is larger than 2 mm. | 01-26-2012 |
20110092837 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING FETUS IN MATERNAL BODY - An apparatus for monitoring fetal positions and fetal movements is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of sensors, a signal pre-processor, a signal post-processor, and a fetal position judging processor. The sensors are attached on the abdomen of a maternal body to provide at least three measuring leads. The signal pre-processor receives a plurality of sensing signals from the sensors, and the signal pre-processor reduces noises in the sensing signals and amplifies the sensing signals to output a plurality of characteristic sensing signals. The signal post-processor receives the characteristic sensing signals from the signal pre-processor and separates out a plurality of fetal electrocardiograms (FECGs) corresponding to the leads. The fetal position judging processor analyzes the FECGs to obtain a characteristic waveform for each of the FECGs or directly calculates a fetal heart axis vector with respect to a front-side coordinate of the maternal body according to the FECGs. | 04-21-2011 |
20100168871 | ARTIFICIAL DURA BIOMEDICAL DEVICE AND BRAIN SURGERY METHOD UTILIZING THE SAME - An artificial dura biomedical device and a brain surgery method utilizing the same are disclosed. The steps includes: fixing an artificial dura to a partial skull; and fixing the partial skull with the artificial dura to a cut hole of a whole skull. The artificial dura biomedical device includes an artificial dura and a connecting element. The connecting element fixes the partial skull with the artificial dura. | 07-01-2010 |
