Abstract:
An apparatus for acquiring bioinformation, including a laser irradiator configured to irradiate a laser beam onto a region of interest including blood vessels; a sensor configured to detect a first change in a laser speckle pattern generated by the laser beam reflected from the region of interest; and a processor configured to acquire a biosignal indicating a second change in blood flow within the blood vessels based on the detected first change in the laser speckle pattern, and to acquire the bioinformation by using the biosignal, wherein the laser beam emitted from the laser irradiator is incident at an angle to the region of interest.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring blood pressure are provided. According to one or more exemplary embodiments, the apparatus for measuring blood pressure obtains a blood pressure value by applying a plurality of particular points, sampled at regular intervals from a pulse wave signal detected in an ear area of an object, to a pre-stored blood pressure estimation algorithm.
Abstract:
Provided are an optical nano-antenna including a tunable material layer and methods of manufacturing and operating the optical nano-antenna. The optical nano-antenna includes a substrate; and a plurality of material layers sequentially laminated on the substrate. The plurality of material layers include at least one tunable material layer and at least one slot. A first tunable material layer and a metal layer are sequentially laminated on the substrate, and a first slot is formed in the metal layer. A metal layer and a first tunable material layer are sequentially laminated on the substrate, and a first slot is formed in the metal layer. A first tunable material layer, a metal layer, and a second tunable material layer are sequentially laminated on the substrate, and a first slot is formed in the metal layer. A second slot tilted with respect to the first slot is formed in the metal layer.
