  • Publication number: 20250064478
    Abstract: A computer-assisted needle insertion method is provided. The computer-assisted needle insertion method includes the following steps. A first machine learning model and a second machine learning model are obtained. A computed tomography image and a needle insertion path are obtained, a suggested needle insertion path is generated according to the first machine learning model, the computed tomography image, and the needle insertion path, and the needle is instructed to approach a needle insertion point on a skin of a target. The needle insertion point is located on the suggested needle insertion path. A breath signal of the target is obtained, and whether a future breath state of the target is normal is estimated according to the second machine learning model and the breath signal. A suggested needle insertion period is output according to the breath signal in response to determining that the future breath state is normal.

  • Publication number: 20110089434
    Abstract: A rework method of a gate insulating layer of a thin film transistor includes the following steps. First, a substrate including a silicon nitride layer, which serves as a gate insulating layer, disposed thereon. Subsequently, a first film removal process is performed to remove the silicon nitride layer. The first film removal process includes an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching process. The ICP etching process is carried out by introducing gases including sulfur hexafluoride and oxygen. The ICP etching process has an etching selectivity ratio of the silicon nitride layer to the substrate, which is substantially between 18 and 30.
