Portable device for live tissue imaging

Optical metabolic imaging of live tissue cultures

The fluorescence properties, both intensity and fluorescence lifetime, of NADH and FAD, two coenzymes of metabolism, are sensitive, high resolution measures of cellular metabolism. However, often in vivo measurements of tissue are not feasible. In this study, we investigate the stability over time of two-photon auto-fluorescence imaging of NADH and FAD in live-cultured tissues. Our results demo...

Design and Fabrication of a Portable 1-DOF Robotic Device for Indentation Tests

There are many tactile devices for indentation examinations to measure mechanical properties of tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a portable indentation robotic device to show its usability for measuring the mechanical properties of a healthy abdominal tissue. These measurements will help to develop suitable mathematical models representing abdominal tissue. A 1-DOF portable robot...

A Novel Portable Scissors-Type Fruit Picking Device

At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...

Portable Electroencephalogram Biofeedback Device

Live Update for Device Drivers

As commodity operating systems become more reliable and fault-tolerant, the availability of a system will be determined not by when it crashes, but instead by when it must be shutdown and rebooted due to software maintenance [12, 21]. While many system components can be upgraded on-line, critical low-level components, such as device drivers and other kernel extensions, cannot be updated without...
