20110210627 | ELECTROMAGNETIC STEP-BY-STEP WOBBLE-TYPE MICROMOTOR - An electromagnetic step-by-step wobbling micromotor comprises an inner component and an annular component being external to the inner one. The outer component may be a stator and the inner component a rotor, or vice versa. The inner component has three or more poles with a winding on each pole, and an external surface facing an internal surface of the outer component. During the operation of the micromotor each winding is powered. The external and internal surfaces have toothed surfaces. Each tooth has a peak radius which is different from the valley radius. | 09-01-2011 |
20120121712 | CELLULAR ELECTRIC STIMULATION MEDIATED BY PIEZOELECTRIC NANOTUBES - Piezoelectric nanotransducers for use in an in vivo treatment of cell stimulation through electrical stimulation are described. The nanotransducers are localized in a target site, and an electrical stimulus is induced in the same site through external stimulation of the nanotransducers by ultrasonic waves. | 05-17-2012 |
20120306114 | PROCESS FOR PREPARING BIOCOMPATIBLE FREE-STANDING NANOFILMS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYMERS THROUGH A SUPPORT LAYER - A process for the preparation of nanofilms of conductive polymers is described. The process comprises forming support layers comprised of various polymers and free-standing nanofilms can be obtained thereby. The nanofilms obtained by the process can have characteristics such as strength, flexibility, ability to adhere to different substrates, and biocompatibility, which can make them suitable for numerous different technological applications, and in particular applications in the biomedical field. | 12-06-2012 |
20130066170 | SENSING MOISTURE LEVEL OF HUMAN SKIN - A human skin moisture measuring device having an interdigitated resistive sensor formed on a plate-like transparent support is described, with a face designed to be placed into contact with the skin to be subjected to the moisture degree measurement. The device further comprises image sensing means turned towards the opposite face of the support and a lighting device arranged sideways relative to the support to direct the light radiation in the support at a prefixed angle. Means for processing the signal coming from the interdigitated resistive sensor and from the image sensing means give as output a value of the measured moisture degree that is normalized with respect to the actual surface of contact between skin and sensor. | 03-14-2013 |
20130131695 | ROBOTIC APPARATUS FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY - A robotic arm especially suited for laparoscopic surgery, having a torsional joint and a flexural joint forming serially arranged joints is described. The joints provide respective degrees of freedom for the arm, which further receives drive means for such joints. The robotic arm also has transmission means placed between the drive means have and the joints. The transmission means a first and a second assembly of three gear wheels, preferably conical gear wheels, and a train of three additional gear wheels, preferably straight-cut gear wheels, which couple the first and second assembly to form a differential mechanism. | 05-23-2013 |
