Publication number: 20220125527Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for mapping and/or navigation of an interior region of a body with a robotically-enabled medical instrument. The instrument may include a position sensor that provides positional information as the instrument navigates within the interior region. Visual indicia derived from the positional information may be superimposed on a reference image of the interior region. The visual indicia may characterize historical positions of the instrument. The instrument may include an imaging device. Images of the interior region captured with the imaging device can be linked to the position within the interior region where the images were captured.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2021Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Jason Joseph HSU, Christopher K.

Publication number: 20190329109Abstract: A bat of the invention includes a handle portion, a connecting portion, and a hitting portion. The handle portion and the connecting portion are both made of fiber composite material. The connecting portion has a small radius end connected with the handle portion, and a large radius end having a first slope section. The hitting portion has a fiber composite material layer and a metal layer. The fiber composite material layer has an end wall, and a peripheral wall connected with the end wall and having a second slope section. Two ends of the metal layer respectively have third and fourth slope sections which are respectively connected with the first slope section of the connecting portion and the second slope section of the fiber composite material layer. As a result, the bat of the invention is reduced in weight and effectively improved in batting effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventor: Joseph HSU

Publication number: 20190321701Abstract: The invention discloses a shock-absorption goalkeeper ice-hockey stick and a shock test method thereof. The shock-absorption goalkeeper ice-hockey stick comprises a stick handle and a baffle plate. A first wood block is tightly inserted into one end of the stick handle. A second wood block is tightly inserted into the other end of the stick handle. An outer surface of the first wood block and second wood block are coated with first silicone. An end, away from the stick handle, of the first wood block is fixedly inserted into the baffle plate. So the sense of shock of the stick handle is greatly reduced, and thus, an impact to the wrists and elbows of players is greatly reduced in the goalkeeping and puck blocking process, and the shock-absorption goalkeeper ice-hockey stick can be used more safely and comfortably.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventor: Joseph HSU

Publication number: 20190321700Abstract: A carbon fiber casing of a goalkeeper PU foam hockey stick and a production process thereof are disclosed. The carbon fiber casing of the goalkeeper PU foam hockey stick comprises a reinforcing carbon fiber casing, a wood or fiber stick and PU foam. A reinforcing part is arranged on the PU foam. The reinforcing carbon fiber casing is forcibly disposed around the corresponding reinforcing part of the PU foam. The PU foam is laminated onto the wood or fiber stick together with the reinforcing carbon fiber casing. The reinforcing carbon fiber casing is formed by heating fibers and epoxy resin in a mold, so that the strength of the whole goalkeeper PU foam hockey stick is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventor: Joseph HSU
