Abstract:
A core-shell structure with magnetic, thermal, and optical characteristics. The optical absorption band is tailorable by choice of the mixing ratio of the core/shell component to give the desired shell thickness. The core-shell structure is particularly suitable for biomedical applications such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) developer, specific tissue identification developer, and magnetic thermal therapy.

Abstract:
A biochemical labeling material and manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method provides a plurality of nanoparticles, bonding the nanoparticles to template molecules by molecular imprinting, polymerizing the nanoparticles to form a matrix with uniformly-distributed template molecules, finally removing the template molecules from the matrix to reveal a detection group of the matrix, leaving a cavity with specific area.
Abstract:
A paper-feeding mechanism for a document duplicating machine, which is driven by a single power source and performs intermittent paper-loading control and continuous paper-conveying operation on a paper loader of the document duplicating machine, comprises a driving device capable of both clockwise and counterclockwise running operation, a paper-loading device for carrying out the intermittent paper sheet retrieval from the paper loader, a paper-conveying device for performing forwarding of the paper sheet retrieved from the paper loader, and a paper-conveying-and-loading control device for separating the paper-conveying and paper-loading operation of the paper-feeding mechanism.
Abstract:
Paper is fed through the printing process of a printing machine by an apparatus which includes a paper-feeding mechanism that is driven by a motor, a paper setting mechanism for handling the sheets of paper being printed, and a paper sensor for detecting whether a sheet is being printed and providing selective control of the motor.
Abstract:
A thermosensitive nanostructure for hyperthermia treatment. Magnetic nanoparticles are encapsulated in a thermosensitive polymer nanostructure having a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of about 40-45° C. The thermosensitive polymer nanostructure may carry a drug. When the magnetic nanoparticles are heated to 40-45° C. by application of an alternating magnetic field in hyperthermia treatment, the thermosensitive polymer nanostructure collapses to release the drug, thus providing concurrent drug treatment.
Abstract:
Magnetic nanoparticles with fluorescent properties and specific targeting functions. The fluorescent magnetic nanoparticle includes a magnetic nanoparticle, a biocompatible polymer chemically modifying the magnetic nanoparticle, a fluorescent dye coupled to the biocompatible polymer, and a specific targeting agent coupled to the biocompatible polymer. The fluorescent and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles provide different types of signal sources and therefore, prompt imaging using different types of imaging techniques to reconfirm foci is feasible.

Abstract:
A skew correction apparatus for cut-sheet paper feeding used in office machines such as optical scanners, printers and copiers. It includes a C-shaped paper guide surrounding a drive roller to form a paper passage therebetween. At one end of the paper guide, there is a concave groove and a slanted slot which holds an elastic plastic flap therein. The flap is spaced from a pinch roller which makes contact with the drive roller for feeding a sheet of paper from the paper passage to a working station for performing a desired work such as scanning, printing, and copying. The flap has a depending tongue to stop a skewed leading edge of a sheet of paper. The paper buckles behind the skewed leading edge caused by the rotating drive roller and is held in the concave groove until the trailing edge of the skewed paper reaches the flap. The leading edge thus is aligned properly without skew and pushes and deflects the tongue and moves to the pinch roller and the drive roller which move the paper to the working station.
Abstract:
A mandrel assembly has a hollow main tube and two annular sleeves, wherein an inner diameter of the two annular sleeves is larger than an outer diameter of the two main tube ends. The two annular sleeves are sleeved respectively on the two main tube ends, which can be easily disengaged from the mandrel assembly when applied with an external force.
