Publication number: 20220284685Abstract: In many applications, the assessment of the internal structures of tubular structures (such as in medical imaging, blood vessels, bronchi, and colon) has become a topic of high interest. Many 3D visualization techniques, such as “fly-through” and curved planar reformation (CPR), have been used for visualization of the lumens for medical applications. However, all the existing visualization techniques generate highly distorted images of real objects. This invention provides direct manipulation based on the centerline of the object and visualization of the 3D internal structures of a tubular object without any noticeable distortion. For the first time ever, the lumens of a human colon is visualized as it is in reality. In many medical applications, this can be used for diagnosis, planning of surgery or stent placements, etc. and consequently improves the quality of healthcare significantly. The same technique can be used in many other applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: Chao-Cheng Chen, Chao-Yu Chen

Publication number: 20220244445Abstract: A luminous keyboard and an optical module thereof are provided. The optical module includes a light guide sheet, a reflective film on one side of the light guide sheet, and an optical film on another side of the light guide sheet opposite to the reflective film. The optical film has a mask pattern. The mask pattern defines a light-transparent region, a light-shielding region, and a light modulation region extending from the light-shielding region to the light-transparent region. The light-transparent region allows light to pass therethrough. The light-shielding region blocks light. The light modulation region partially allows light to pass therethrough and partially blocks light, so that an average light-transmitting rate per unit area of the light modulation region is smaller than that of the light-transparent region and larger than that of the light-shielding region.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventor: Chao-Yu CHEN
