20110008824 | DEVICE AND METHOD OF BACTERIA DETECTION - A bacteria measurement device and method are provided, which separate bacteria from a target object and attach the bacteria to an antibody with fluorescein isothiocyanate applied thereto, generate light using a light emitting unit, and excite the fluorescein isothiocyanate, and in which the excited fluorescein isothiocyanate secondarily emits light, and a light receiving unit receives a light output signal generated through the secondary emission, converts the light output signal into an electrical signal, and converts an analog signal which is the electrical signal into a digital signal, thus measuring the amount and type of bacteria. | 01-13-2011 |
20100234741 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING SLEEPINESS - The present invention relates to a drowsiness detection method. A heartbeat signal and a breathing signal are detected by exploiting together a scheme and an optical system scheme. The detected signals are applied to respective amplification units, noise signals are eliminated from the detected signals, and noise-free signals are amplified. The amplified signals are applied to a central processing unit, signal processing is processed on the signals, and processed signals are combined. The combined signal is counted, and a warning sound, voice message or vibration is output in a case where a value, obtained by subtracting a counted output value monitored one minute before a current time, from a counted output value monitored two minutes before the current time, falls within a detection range and where, with a passage of time, the value falling within the detection range is successively detected from two to ten times. | 09-16-2010 |
