An apparatus and method for creating a three dimensional imaging system is disclosed. There is a first source of laser light and a second source of laser light having a wavelength different from the wavelength of the laser light of the first source. The laser light from the first and second sources are combined, and the combined laser light is transmitted to a scanner. The scanner further transmits the combined light to a surface to be imaged.

A grip interface is used to provide information about a user to a range of connected devices and applications based on the users' interactions with the grip. By embedding into the grip an array of sensors for motion, health, environmental and other data using embedded microcontroller network technology, and focusing on the grip as the interface between the physical and virtual worlds, applications and services to existing grip-based devices are enabled. Applications for the grip include as sports, fitness equipment, health monitoring, activity tracking, coaching, physical therapy, mobility aide and virtual entertainment, among others.

A medical sensor device includes a sensor assembly including an underside surface for attachment against a patient's skin, a sensor portion to detect a characteristic of the patient, and sensor assembly contacts which in operation carry signals representing the detected characteristic. The device also includes a transmitter assembly removably engageable with the sensor assembly and including circuitry to take the signals from the sensor assembly contacts and to transmit readings of the detected characteristic to external equipment. The device also includes mechanical interface components on the sensor assembly and the transmitter assembly which allow the transmitter assembly to be brought into abutment with the sensor assembly at a first angular position via relative axial movement between them, and then allow a relative rotation of the assemblies with respect to one another towards a second angular position and presents axial separation of the assemblies in the second angular position.

A simple sensing device includes a case with one or more indicators to indicate levels of an analyte such as glucose. The sensing device for self-monitoring an analyte includes a single, flexible case adapted to adhere to a skin of a patient. It also includes a printed circuit board assembly inside the case. It further includes a first sensor extending from the flexible case and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board, and one or more indicators in the flexible case, where the indicator(s) are adapted to indicate whether a level of an analyte is within a normal range.

A portable XRF analyzer includes a hand shield to substantially block x-rays from impinging on a hand of a user. The portable XRF analyzer includes a heat sink over an x-ray source and a heat sink over an x-ray detector. The heat sinks are separated from each other by a thermally insulative material.

A finger engagement assembly for supporting a handheld dental tool on a user's hand. The finger engagement assembly includes a mounting member with a cylindrical shaped body extending along a grip axis and having an aperture extending there through. The mounting member has an inner surface that interfaces with a dental tool and an outer surface that interfaces with a finger engagement. The finger engagement includes a rotational coupling extending about the mounting member and is operable to rotate relative to the mounting member about the grip axis. A post extends from the rotational coupling in a first direction and supports a crossbar. The crossbar extends across the backs of a user's index and middle finger and is functional to retain a handheld dental tool, such as a dental mirror, to a user's hand, while allowing the dental tool to rotate relative to the finger engagement.

An adjustable pillow device and a pillow adjusting method are disclosed, the adjustable pillow device comprising: a headrest body (1), the height of a region thereof being self-adjustable according to the posture of a sleeper; an inflation/deflation mechanism (2) connected to the headrest body (1) for adjusting the height of a region of the headrest body (1); a sensor (3) for collecting information about the sleeper and providing feedback; a central information processor (4) connected to the sensor (3) and the control end of the inflation/deflation mechanism (2) respectively for receiving information from the sensor (3) and sending an adjustment direction to the control end of the inflation/deflation mechanism (2) according to the sleeping posture information and the body data figure of the sleeper. The adjustable pillow device and method ensure that a sleeper has the most natural and physiologic sleeping posture, and enable automatic adjustment of the head and neck of the sleeper in different sleeping postures to allow the head to be in a proper position relative to the neck, thus providing the sleeper with deeper and longer sleep, improving sleep quality, and meeting the needs of the public.

The invention describes a measuring system for the continuous non-invasive determination of blood pressure at one or more fingers. The fingers chosen for measurement and the adjacent parts of the palm rest on a supporting surface of a housing, which has the shape of a computer mouse. Inside the housing of the “CNAP Mouse”, i.e. underneath the supporting surface for the hand, the pressure generating system is located. The finger sensors are mounted on the supporting surface for the hand. The forearm and the back of the hand are left free and may be used to place intra-venous or intra-arterial access elements. Since the hand will rest on the supporting surface motion artefacts are largely avoided. Tilting or turning of the sensors is hardly possible since the fit of the sensors and thus the coupling of light and pressure are optimized.

The present invention relates to a low-temperature treatment device capable of preventing nerve damage. The low-temperature treatment device according to one embodiment of the present invention can comprise: a cooling pocket which is inserted and positioned in a rectum and which has a predetermined shape during expansion; and a circulation tube which has a passage through which fluid flows in and out and which is inserted into the cooling pocket so as to circulate the fluid in an inner space of the cooling pocket.

The present invention provides an electroencephalogram measurement structure formed by an ear-hanging structure and a second circuit board. The ear-hanging structure includes a body. An ear-hanging member is disposed at the extension of the body. The body can be worn on the ear via the ear-hanging member. In addition, a first reference electrode and a second reference electrode are disposed on the body and coupled to a first circuit board. The first circuit board is coupled to an electrical jack; the second circuit board is coupled to the electrical jack via an electrical plug. Thereby, the electroencephalogram measurement can be performed simply by wearing the ear-hanging member on the ear of the person under test. Hence, the problems of complicated wiring and inconvenience in wearing can be solved concurrently.
