  • Publication number: 20240128232
    Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first semiconductor die, an encapsulant, a high-modulus dielectric layer and a redistribution structure. The first semiconductor die includes a conductive post in a protective layer. The encapsulant encapsulates the first semiconductor die, wherein the encapsulant is made of a first material. The high-modulus dielectric layer extends on the encapsulant and the protective layer, wherein the high-modulus dielectric layer is made of a second material. The redistribution structure extends on the high-modulus dielectric layer, wherein the redistribution structure includes a redistribution dielectric layer, and the redistribution dielectric layer is made of a third material. The protective layer is made of a fourth material, and a ratio of a Young's modulus of the second material to a Young's modulus of the fourth material is at least 1.5.

  • Patent number: 10702988
    Abstract: A method for load estimation and gravity compensation on a robotic arm including a joint is provided, and includes: receiving a first torque signal and a first joint angle when the arm is at a first position and subjected to a current load; generating a first torque value, correction parameters, and no-load and maximum-load torque values; changing the load applied to the arm to an unknown load; receiving a second torque signal and generating a second torque value; estimating an estimated load value of the unknown load; moving the arm to a second position; receiving a second joint angle; and generating a compensating torque value and outputting the compensating torque value to a driver module of the arm.

  • Patent number: 10624525
    Abstract: An endoscopic system includes a mechanical arm, an endoscope and a control unit. The endoscope is held by the mechanical arm, and is configured to capture an image. The control unit is electrically connected to the mechanical arm and the endoscope, and is configured to receive and process the image captured by the endoscope, to determine whether the image has at least two specific instruments that are arranged in a specific configuration, and to drive the mechanical arm to move the endoscope when the determination is affirmative.

  • Patent number: 10463308
    Abstract: A lower limb spasticity measurement method includes the step of setting the lower limbs of the person in a lower limb orthotic device of a gait activity machine, the step of starting up a motor of the gait activity machine to drive the lower limb orthotic device for lower limb activity, the step of getting a statistical distribution data from the output torque of the motor within a predetermined time and then calculating the statistical distribution data to obtain a threshold, and the step of determining whether the output torque of the motor is greater than the threshold or not, and then stopping motor if the output torque of the motor is greater than the threshold. Thus, the method of the invention can accurately measures spasticity in the lower limbs of a person without the use of sensors, effectively saving the cost of equipment.
