Abstract: An automatic insertion device and method of using the same is provided. A vibrator and an extender are connected to a penetrating member and are both in electrical communication with a controller. A detector identifies a subcutaneous target for insertion and the insertion angle, distance and trajectory for the penetrating member are calculated. The vibrator provides vibrations to the penetrating member and the extender advances the penetrating member for insertion. The vibrator and extender are in electrical communication with one another during the insertion process and adjustments to the insertion speed are made based on feedback of vibrational load encountered by the vibrator during insertion, and adjustments to the vibrations are made based on feedback of insertion load encountered by the extender during insertion. Iterative samples are taken to constantly adjust the operation of one motor based on the operations and feedback from the other motor.

Abstract: A system for evaluating a degree of brain dysfunction of a subject, such as a decline in cognitive function, calculates a difference in movement functions between both hands in a coordination movement. The system includes a storage device for storing time-series data on a finger movement task of each of both hands of a test subject acquired by a movement sensor; a data processing device for analyzing the time-series data stored in the storage device; and a display device for displaying an analysis result analyzed by the data processing device. The data processing device includes a movement waveform generation unit for generating a movement waveform corresponding to the time-series data stored in the storage device; and a difference-between-hands feature quantity generation unit for generating a difference-between-hands feature quantity which represents a difference in respective finger movement tasks between both hands, based on the respective movement waveforms of both hands.

Abstract: An ophthalmic device comprises an ultrasonic transducer, an accommodation actuator, and a controller. When the ophthalmic device is mounted in or on an eye of a user, the ultrasonic transducer is positioned to direct ultrasonic signals towards ciliary processes in the eye and the accommodation actuator is positioned to focus light entering the eye. The controller is coupled to the ultrasonic transducer and the accommodation actuator. The controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the ophthalmic device to perform operations including emitting the ultrasonic signals from the ultrasonic transducer towards the ciliary processes, receiving reflected ultrasonic signals from the ciliary processes with the ultrasonic transducer, calculating a time of flight between emitting the ultrasonic signals and receiving the reflected ultrasonic signals, and adjusting an optical power of the accommodation actuator based on the time of flight.
