System and method for multi-parameter characterization of biological tissues
A system for automated simultaneous measurements of multiple parameters (mechanical, electrical and/or thermal) of biological tissues includes a base platform supporting a biochip holder module with a biochip integrated therein and an indenter for nano- and micro-scale indentation of a tissue. The biochip is formed with an array of micro-sensors, for example, electromechanical micro-sensors integrated on a substrate of the biochip. A temperature microsensor maybe additionally formed, for example, on the tip of the indenter to measure thermal characteristics of the tissue specimen heated by the micro-heater fabricated on the biochip.
STICKING TYPE THERMOMETER
A sticking type deep-body thermometer is provided that includes a body temperature measurement unit having a wiring substrate on which four temperature sensors and a processing circuit are mounted. The thermometer includes an upper case accommodating the body temperature measurement unit, an lower case that is in close contact with the upper case and a peripheral edge portion, and a sticking member stuck to an outer side surface of the lower case. The sticking member is formed in a sheet-like shape, has a pair of sticking surfaces with adhesiveness, and one sticking surface of the pair of sticking surfaces is stuck to the outer side surface of the lower case in a peelable manner.
Sensors for measuring skin conductivity and methods for manufacturing the same
Disclosed is a sensor for measuring skin conductivity and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the sensor includes: a base board made of a flexible material; an electrode provided on a surface of the base board, and transmitting an electrical signal; and an uneven structure provided on the electrode, and configured to increase an electrical contact area with skin via sweat secreted onto a surface of skin.
LIVING BODY INFORMATION IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
Provided is a living body information identification system that can identify position information of a living body (a person) and state information about a state of the living body without attaching a wireless device or a sensor on a human body. The living body information identification system includes a transceiver configured to transmit radio waves and wirelessly receive a signal, and sensor modules configured to receive the radio waves, convert the received radio waves into power, and use the power as a power supply to transmit own unique ID information to the transceiver. The sensor modules receive the radio waves from the transceiver, convert the received radio waves into power, and use the power as a power supply to transmit state information about a state of the living body to the transceiver. The transceiver identifies the living body based on the ID information and the state information.
