New simple ink writing pen system for kymograph recording.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extraordinarily simple, inexpensive and easily available kymograph ink writing pen system for physiological and pharmacological recordings has been described. The writing part of the pen, consisting of a small porous fibrous writing rod to which a small spongy absorbing cylinder (as an ink container) is added, is attached to one end of a very light plastic strip of which opposite end is connected to a common mechanical lever. The function of the pen was investigated by recording spontaneous frog heart contractions in situ. The pen worked quite well and the recordings were reproducible. The pen can be interesting for researchers working in those physiology and pharmacology laboratories where more sophisticated recorders are not available, and is especially convenient for mass use in students' physiology and pharmacology labs, as alternative for smoked-drum kymograph method.

More than ink - Realization of a data-embedding pen
In this paper we present a novel digital pen device, called data-embedding pen, for enhancing the value of handwriting on physical paper. This pen produces an additional ink-dot sequence along a written stroke during writing. This ink-dot sequence represents arbitrary information, such as writer’s name and writing date. Since the information is placed on the paper as an ink-dot sequence, it can...
متن کاملAugmented Handwritings by Data-Embedding Pen
In this paper, we propose a data-embedding pen, which adds an ink-dot sequence along a handwritten pattern during writing. The ink-dot sequence represents some meta-information, such as writer’s name, date of writing, and URL. The meta-information can be extracted from the handwritten pattern by image processing techniques and a stroke recovery technique. Consequently, we can augment the handwr...
متن کاملMachine-Readable Handwriting Patterns by Data-Embedding Pen
In order to use handwritings as a universal man-machine interface, we assume a pen device — data-embedding pen — which can embed digital data into a handwriting by invisible ink in a real-time manner. This paper discusses the system design, application, and required technologies around the data-embedding pen. Especially, a novel stroke recovery algorithm is proposed for retrieving the embedded ...
متن کاملA multi-ink linear array of nanofountain probes
After the successful design and fabrication of a single-probe nanofountain pen, a second-generation device with two on-chip ink reservoirs feeding a linear array of 12 microfluidic cantilever probes was manufactured. The new device excels by sharper and more uniform tips, more robust fabrication and improved performance in writing and imaging. Its capabilities in writing sub-100 nm features and...
متن کاملBioPen: direct writing of functional materials at the point of care
Rapid and precise patterning of functional biomaterials is desirable for point-of-care (POC) tissue engineering and diagnostics. However, existing technologies such as dip-pen nanolithography and inkjet printing are currently unsuitable for POC applications due to issues of cost and portability. Here, we report the development of 'BioPen', a portable tool for continuous, defined and scalable de...
