  • Publication number: 20180056039
    Abstract: A method for tracking and positioning a magnetic catheter and a structure of a magnetic catheter are disclosed for facilitating tracking and positioning of catheters in human bodies without using electromagnetic induction as conventionally used. When electromagnetic induction and remote magnetic control are used together, their respective magnetic fields may mutually interfer, increasing the risk of operational errors of the magnetic catheters they are working on. The disclosed magnetic catheter has an elastic unit. While the magnetic catheter bends, inductance variation caused by elastic deformation of the elastic unit is measured for calculating an actual bending angle of the magnetic catheter. Then the motion of the magnetic catheter can be amended accordingly. By using calculation instead of electromagnetic tracking, mutual interference between different magnetic fields can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20180028782
    Abstract: A method for controlling a magnetic catheter by using a magnetic-field-generated magnetic annulus is disclosed. The magnetic catheter has a free end provided with a magnetic member. A resultant magnetic field between at least two magnets generates a magnetic annulus. The magnetic catheter is placed into the magnetic annulus, so that the magnetic member is affected by the magnetic force from the magnetic annulus to guide the magnetic catheter to perform a preset motion. The magnetic catheter has a flexible front section, so that the flexible section can perform a bending motion when led by the magnetic member. The resultant magnetic field is generated by arranging the two magnets with their like poles facing each other, so that the magnetic member is thrust when entering the magnetic annulus. This facilitates the bending motion of the flexible section.

  • Patent number: 9364691
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an escape device, involving a tube, a rail member, and a sliding unit. The tube, extending along a longitudinal direction, is provided with an exit end and intermittently with a plurality of escape openings. The rail member includes a plurality of sliding tracks sequentially connected to one another, wherein the neighboring sliding tracks are connected to each other by associating a relatively wide first end with a relatively narrow second end, the second end facing the exit end of the tube. The sliding unit comprises a deformable member which is adapted to slide on the rail member and configured to be pressed against by the second ends of the sliding tracks such that a slide resistance is generated to reduce sliding velocity. Therefore, the effects for the reduction of descending velocity as well as rapid and safe escape are achieved.

  • Publication number: 20150366439
    Abstract: A method of operating an endoscope by changing a magnetic field and controlling a feeding and a rotation synchronously comprises steps of: providing an endoscope, the endoscope including a magnetic section formed on a front end thereof, the magnetic section having a multi-section bending portion and a magnetic element; and setting a target position in a space. The method of operating the endoscope further comprises steps of: exerting a magnetic field on the magnetic element of the magnetic section, any one of a size, a direction, and a position of the magnetic field is allowed to be changed after exerting the magnetic field on the magnetic element of the magnetic section so that the magnetic element is guided by the magnetic field; and controlling the endoscope to feed or/and rotate based on the target position and a bendable direction of the multi-section bending portion.
