  • Patent number: 12293516
    Abstract: A pulmonary function identifying and treating method includes: obtaining a first image, having first image elements, and a second image, having second image elements, respectively corresponding to a first state and a second state of a lung; extracting first feature points of the first image and second feature points of the second image; registering the first image with the second image using a boundary point set registration method and an inner tissue registration method according to the first feature points and the second feature points, so that the first image elements correspond to the second image elements and tissue units of the lung; determining functional index values representative of the tissue units of the lung using a ventilation function quantification method according to the first image elements and the second image elements corresponding to the first image elements; and treating the lung according to the functional index values.

  • Patent number: 11827751
    Abstract: A nanonetwork with controlled chirality prepared via self-assembly of triblock terpolymers, wherein each of the triblock terpolymers includes a first block, a second block and a third block. The first block is connected to the second block, and the third block is connected to the second block. The first block, the second block and the third block are incompatible. The third block has a homochiral characteristic, and a chirality of the nanonetwork with controlled chirality is determined by the homochiral characteristic.

  • Patent number: 8456539
    Abstract: A method of automatic task execution is adapted to be performed by an electronic apparatus that includes an image-capturing module and a processing module. The method includes the steps of: a) recording in the processing module a relationship between a visible physical attribute of an object and a corresponding task to be executed by the processing module; b) configuring the electronic apparatus for capturing an image containing a target using the image-capturing module; c) configuring the processing module to determine if the visible physical attribute of the object is found in the image captured by the image-capturing module; and d) when the visible physical attribute of the object is found in the image, configuring the processing module to execute the corresponding task automatically.
