Patent number: 12262957Abstract: System and method for position and posture detection are provided to determine whether to update an original position and posture information of a surgical machine during surgery navigation. The system includes a sensing element, a displacement and/or angle sensing element and a processor. A coordinate signal of a marker module generated by the sensing element and a displacement and/or angle signal of the marker module generated by the displacement and/or angle sensing element are received by the processor and used to create a transformation matrix. A position and posture information of the surgical machine is obtained using the transformation matrix and the coordinate signal and provided to determine whether to update the original position and posture information.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: METAL INDUSTRIES RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT CENTREInventors: Ming-Hui Chen, Hsien-Ju Wu, Kai-Szu Lo

Publication number: 20240173039Abstract: In a detection method for surgical drilling, an end effector mounted on a drilling machine is provided to detect whether a drill bit of the drilling machine will produce an oversized hole or an oval-shaped hole on a predetermined drill area during a drilling procedure. The end effector includes a carrier and at least one optic bundle which is provided to transmit a light to a detection point and transmit a detect light reflected from the detection point to a processor. A distance value calculated by the processor according to the detection light is provided to estimate whether a drilling strategy, such as feed rate, spindle speed and tilt angle of the drill bit, with or without pecking, needs to be adjusted before the drilling procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Kai-Szu Lo, Ming-Hui Chen, Hsien-Ju Wu

Patent number: 10909773Abstract: A medical image modeling system and a medical image modeling method are provided. The medical image modeling system includes an input device, a processing device, and a storage device. The input device obtains medical image data. The processing device is coupled to the input device. The processing device converts the medical image data into a bone model in response to a first operational command. The storage device is coupled to the processing device. The storage device stores a model database. The processing device reads the model database in response to a second operational command to obtain a bone reconstruction block corresponding to a defect block of the bone model. The processing device integrates a bone reconstruction model depicted corresponding to the bone reconstruction block into the defect block of the bone model to generate an integrated bone model.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: Metal Industries Research & Development CentreInventors: Kai-Szu Lo, Jian-Jia Tzeng, Sheng-Hong Yang, Bo-Wei Pan

Patent number: 8821159Abstract: A dental implant guiding device is applied in guiding the drill of the drilling apparatus in different dimensions. The device includes a guiding module and a guiding seat. The guiding module contains at least one guiding unit where a sleeve with a cavity is disposed. A guiding hole and a guiding slot, where an opening at a fringe of the guiding unit is defined, are disposed at two sides of the sleeve. The guiding seat forms a first hole. At two sides of the first hole, a first guiding shank and a second guiding shank respectively corresponding to the guiding hole and the guiding slot are disposed. The second guiding shank slides into the guiding slot, which allows the first guiding shank inserting into the guiding hole for the drill to position at the center of the cavity of the sleeve, thereby achieving the fast positioning and friction reduction.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Metal Industries Research and Development CenterInventors: Kai-Szu Lo, Yauchia Liu, Ching-Chieh Huang, Hsien-Nan Kuo
