Abstract:
A sensor includes a tank filled with a matching medium, a metal body configured to surround an image object received in the tank, and a plurality of apertures disposed at constant intervals inside the metal body, wherein when any one of the plurality of apertures radiates microwaves to the image object, remaining apertures receive scattering microwaves from the image object.
Abstract:
Provided is a device for microwave hyperthermia that may attach a flexible patch on the skin of a user based on a cross-section of a body tissue of the user, for example, a joint and muscle of a leg and an arm and may emit microwaves towards a plurality of points of the body tissue through the patch. The microwaves emitted toward the body tissue may have the same phase and maximum power. Accordingly, a maximum heat generation point may be generated in an area adjacent to the plurality of points. The device for microwave hyperthermia may move the maximum heat generation point by sequentially changing a phase and a direction of each of the microwaves. The device for microwave hyperthermia may uniformly distribute and maintain heat for treating pain and/or infection over the entire cross-section or a partial area. The device for microwave hyperthermia may be portable.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a deep body spread microwave hyperthermia device for personal uses and an operation method thereof. The operating method may include generating a control signal to control patches attached to the skin of a user, dividing the control signal into a first signal and a second signal having a phase different from a phase of the first signal, transmitting the first signal and the second signal to patches attached to different positions, among the patches, and producing hyperthermia in a body of the user by radiating radio waves based on the first signal or the second signal received by each of the patches.
Abstract:
A coaxial resonance coil having a toroidal shape for wireless power transmission is provided. The coaxial resonance coil may include a central conductive wire used as a power feeding loop for indirectly feeding power to a resonance coil, and an outer conductive wire used as a resonance coil which is wound a plurality of turns in a toroidal shape around the central conductive wire as an axis.
Abstract:
An apparatus for self-examining whether a breast tissue is abnormal includes an examination checker configured to transmit a microwave to one side of an examinee's breast, receive the microwave that has passed through the breast and calculate a value in the microwave reception of the received microwave. Further, the apparatus includes a self-examination device configured to analyze the value in the microwave reception received from the examination checker and examines whether the breast is abnormal.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method of controlling a temperature of a matching material used in an apparatus for generating a tomographic image is disclosed. The method includes measuring a temperature of a matching material in which an object is immersed in an apparatus for measuring a shape of an object, setting a set temperature at which an amplitude and a phase of an electromagnetic wave that passes through the matching material are maintained, based on the measured temperature of the matching material, and controlling the temperature of the matching material to be higher than the set temperature.
