High-Intensity Ultrasonic Waves Skin Care Treatment Device

March 26, 2024 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2403E10] BE&BI Tech’s UCOS-HIFU product is a skin-care treatment device that can perform a cosmetic procedure on the face in a short time using focal ultrasonic waves, causing no damage or side effects to the skin layers, thereby enhancing skin elasticity and improving skin wrinkle care.

Lifting a part of the body, intensifying skin elasticity, improving skin ageing, and natural maintaining of body shape, can be done through the UCOS-HIFU procedure.
UCOS-HIFU system is noninvasive, and can be done within 10~30 minutes of short procedure time, without any scars or traces after the procedure, with extremely rare occurrence of any side-effects, and enabling the user to resume daily life right after the procedure.
Because ultrasonic-wave energy is transmitted even to the dermal muscular layer (SMAS) without necrosis in surrounding cells, wrinkle improvement is excellent for nasolabial folds and fine wrinkles in the brow, the corners of the eyes, below the eyes, and the jawline − compared to existing laser IR or RF devices.

You can verify improvement effects immediately after the procedure with the naked eye and maintain supple skin for a long time.

For face procedures, facial lifting, and tightening, effects can be expected using six cartridges that have different depths of ultrasonic wave irradiation into the skin layers, so, body procedures can be effective for body slimming and body shape management using three types of cartridges.
BE&BI Tech is committed to being a caring company, helpful to customers and society, through mutual cooperation aiming for sustainable new technology development for human health and happiness, and customer satisfaction.

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2403E09] UMAIN Inc. is the world’s best specialist for UWB radar products, and was established in 2012. UWB is Ultra-Wideband and UMAIN’s UWB radar products follow the UWB World Standard regulations. UWB radar technology consists of pure analog technology and digital signal processing technology. It thus has high technical barriers, unlike existing UWB communication technologies.
Combining long technological developments with many consumer requirements, UMAIN will unveil “ Guardian,” the world’s first UWB radar product for consumers, at ISC WEST 2024 in Las Vegas, USA, April 9-12.

The Guardian A1 and M1 are designed for desktop installations by wall installation or using a stance holder, while the Guardian S1 is for ceiling installation. In addition, apps for Android and iPhone/iPad are also provided. By simply setting up the product through an app, even small movements and breathing signals within the sensing area can be detected and used for various kinds of monitoring in real life.
UMAIN’s UWB radar product has a radio wave output of about 1/130,000 compared to the existing 24GHz/77GHz radar and emits a very weak radio wave of 1/20,000 of the 60GHz radar. Therefore, it can be used indoors, and is the safest for the human body among all existing radar products. This is possible because the World Standard Radio Regulations, which was originally intended for indoor use, was developed on its own according to the UWB standards.

UMAIN is cooperating with a major telecommunications company in Korea to release a product for monitoring the elderly living alone, and has also developed a sleep monitoring product with a partner. Also, through a CCTV company, it is in the process of commercializing respiratory movement detection in places such as showers and changing rooms where cameras cannot be used. At the request of various other global companies, such full-fledged consumer products will be introduced at the upcoming ISC WEST 2024.

4D Imaging Radar

March 26, 2024 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2403E07] Smart Radar Systems has recently developed amazing advanced technology needed for autonomous driving, helping Korean companies to confidently create innovations that the world needs, like targeting global companies in Israel and Silicon Valley.
And since such innovations by Smart Radar Systems created in this way can become the foundation for other innovations, there is a great technological synergy effect, making it a company with a brighter future than the present.
Radar as most people know is basically used to search for objects or enemy planes, as seen in war movies, and usually detects targets by using points. However, in order to drive vehicles autonomously, drivers need to know exactly what the object is — and imaging radar makes that possible.

So, while the existing radar we call 3D only has plane coordinates x, y and velocity information (v), 4D-imaging radar processes v, in addition to the coordinates of x, y, and z. It is technology that creates imaging by creating countless point-clouds, and adds artificial intelligence (AI) technology to the created image – in order to identify the type or behavior of the object.
The CEO of the company explained, “As the technology of the product can have a ripple effect in various spaces such as healthcare, security, drones, and smartization of industrial sites, a tremendous business model could be derived through the innovative technology that creates imaging using microwaves. And also there is an advantage in being able to grow related companies.”
