Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for removing strands of hair from a near-infrared spectroscopy. The apparatus for removing strands of hair from a near-infrared spectroscopy may comprise: an arch-shaped main body worn on the head of a user, having a plurality of protrusions formed at an inner side part of the arch-shaped main body, and configured to expose a portion of scalp by arranging the strands of hair; a probe configured to come into close contact with the scalp; and a sensor configured to be accommodated inside the probe and receive light.
Claims12
An apparatus for removing strands of hair from a near-infrared spectroscopy, comprising:
- an arch-shaped main body worn on a head of a user, having a plurality of protrusions formed at an inner side part of the arch-shaped main body, and configured to expose a portion of scalp by separating the strands of hair;
- and
- a probe configured to accommodate a sensor thereinside and come into close contact with the scalp.
A wedge-shaped optical probe for removing strands of hair, comprising:
- a cylindrical main body configured to accommodate a sensor thereinside;
- and
- at least one wedge-shaped surface formed at a lower end part of the cylindrical main body,
- wherein the wedge-shaped optical probe is configured to expose a portion of scalp of a user by separating the strands of hair to both sides along the at least one wedge-shaped surface, and to come into contact with the exposed portion of the scalp.
A toothbrush-shaped optical probe for removing strands of hair, comprising:
- a main body configured to accommodate a sensor;
- and
- a light guide provided with a plurality of threads at a lower end part of the main body, each of which enables light to be transmitted, and provided with a depression between adjacent threads among the plurality of threads, which is capable of accommodating the strands of hair, and coming into close contact with scalp of a user.
A method for removing strands of hair using an apparatus for removing strands of hair from a near-infrared spectroscopy, comprising steps of:
- wearing an arch-shaped main body on a head of a user and exposing a portion of scalp by separating the strands of hair through a plurality of protrusions formed at an inner side part of an arch-shaped main body when wearing the arch-shaped main body;
- and
- enabling a probe to come into close contact with the exposed portion of the scalp.
A method for removing strands of hair using a wedge-type optical probe for removing strands of hair, comprising steps of:
- exposing a portion of scalp by providing a wedge-shaped surface of the wedge-type optical probe in a direction in which the strands of hair are arranged, pushing and inserting the wedge-shaped surface between the strands of hair, and arranging the strands of hair to both sides;
- and
- rotating the wedge-type optical probe to provide and fix the wedge-shaped surface to be perpendicular to the direction in which the strands of hair are arranged.
