Abstract

A sensing device for sensing blood of a finger includes a base, a transceiver, a first positioning element and a second positioning element. The base includes a first half portion and a second half portion. The transceiver includes a first transmission element disposed on the first half portion, a second transmission element disposed on the second half portion, and a signal transmitted from one of the first and second transmission elements to the other. The first and second positioning elements are respectively disposed on the first and second half portions. The second positioning element is detachably engaged to the first positioning element. When the finger is disposed between the first and second half portions and the first and second positioning elements are engaged, the finger is located between the first and second transmission elements, and signals transmitted between the first and second transmission elements passes through blood of the finger.

Claims

1. A positioning structure utilized for positioning a tested object with respect to a first transmission element and a second transmission element corresponding to the first transmission element, comprising:

a base comprising a first half portion and a second half portion, wherein the first transmission element and the second transmission element are disposed on the first and second half portions, respectively;

a first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base; and

a second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base and detachably connected to the first positioning element,

wherein when the tested object is disposed between the first and second half portions of the base and the first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base and the second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base are connected, the first transmission element and the second transmission element are aligned and the tested object is located between the aligned first and second transmission elements.

2. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a stopping element disposed on the base, wherein the tested object is stopped by the stopping element and positioned on the base.

3. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 2, wherein the stopping element comprises a C shaped-like protrusion.

4. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a first connecting portion disposed between the first and second half portions.

5. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first connecting portion of the base comprises a flexible material.

6. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a second connecting portion utilized to enclose the first and second half portions when the tested object is disposed between the first and second half portions and the first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base and the second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base are connected.

7. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 6, wherein the second connecting portion of the base comprises a flexible material.

8. The positioning structure as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first and second half portions of the base comprises a flexible or rigid material.

9. A sensing device utilized for sensing a content of a tested object, comprising:

a base comprising a first half portion and a second half portion;

a transceiver comprising a first transmission element and a second transmission element disposed on the first and second half portions of the base, respectively, wherein a signal is transmitted from one of the first and second transmission elements to the other;

a first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base; and

a second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base and detachably connected to the first positioning element,

wherein when the tested object is disposed between the first and second half portions of the base and the first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base and the second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base are connected, the first transmission element and the second transmission element are aligned and the tested object is located between the aligned first and second transmission elements, and the signal transmitted between the first and second transmission elements passes through the content of the tested object.

10. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, further comprising a stopping element disposed on the base, wherein the tested object is stopped by the stopping element and positioned on the base.

11. The sensing device as claimed in claim 10, wherein the stopping element comprises a C shaped-like protrusion.

12. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the base further comprises a first connecting portion disposed between the first and second half portions.

13. The sensing device as claimed in claim 12, wherein the first connecting portion of the base comprises a flexible material.

14. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the base further comprises a second connecting portion utilized to enclose the first and second half portions when the tested object is disposed between the first and second half portions and the first positioning element disposed on the first half portion of the base and the second positioning element disposed on the second half portion of the base are connected.

15. The sensing device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the second connecting portion of the base comprises a flexible material.

16. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first and second half portions of the base comprises a flexible or rigid material.

17. The sensing device as claimed in claim 16, wherein the flexible material is characterized with biocompatibility.

18. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the first transmission element comprises an emitter.

19. The sensing device as claimed in claim 18, wherein the second transmission element comprises a receiver.

20. The sensing device as claimed in claim 9, wherein the tested object comprises a finger and the content comprises blood of the finger.
