  • Patent number: 12328828
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a circuit board includes providing a composite material film including a metal film and a polymeric film, disposing a dielectric layer on the polymeric film to form a stacked structure, forming a circuit layer with a contact pad on a substrate, bonding the stacked structure onto the substrate and the circuit layer, and forming a first opening extending through the metal film to form a patterned metal film. The dielectric layer directly contacts the substrate and entirely covers the circuit layer. The method further includes plasma etching the dielectric layer with the patterned metal film as a mask to form a second opening in the dielectric layer and expose the contact pad in the second opening, removing the composite material film, and depositing a conductive material in the second opening to form a conductive blind hole electrically connected to the contact pad.

  • Publication number: 20240074826
    Abstract: A surgical robot including at least one contact module, a control connection module, at least one first robotic arm, and at least one grip control device. A first transmission member of the control connection module drives the control module through a first transmission connecting member. A first shaft member of the first robotic arm is connected with the first transmission member while the grip control device is connected with the first robotic arm by a transmission interface. A force sensing member of the first robotic arm detects a first reaction force from the contact module so that the first robotic arm sends a feedback control signal to the grip control device to control a grip driving member to generate a force feedback for allowing a grip portion to move. Thereby, users can feel movement of the grip portion caused by the force feedback to avoid accidental iatrogenic injuries.
