  • Patent number: 11541551
    Abstract: A robotic arm comprising an operation end, a base, a sensor unit and a control unit is provided. The operation end is connected to the base, and the operation end is configured to reach an operational area. The sensor unit provides a sensor signal according to the force applied by or the motion of an operator. When the operation end reaches the operational area, the control unit sets a fixed position on the robotic arm between the base and the operation end. When the sensor signal from the operator fulfills a default condition, the control unit moves the robotic arm away from the operator, without moving the fixed position on the robotic arm.

  • Patent number: 10194886
    Abstract: The present invention provides an acoustic wave intraocular pressure detecting device and a method thereof, which uses a driver to generate a vibration wave on the skin or bones. The energy of the vibration wave is transmitted to the orbital bones via the skin and the skeletons. A standing wave of the basin effect is generated on the eyeball inside the orbital bones. The standing wave vibrates the eyeball or the cornea to generate an acoustic wave signal with a resonance frequency. The eyeball or the cornea emits the acoustic wave outwardly. A receiver receives the acoustic wave and converts the acoustic wave into an intraocular pressure (IOP) value.
