Patent number: 11357656Abstract: Halo vests and the construction methods thereof are provided. The halo vests are designed in unibody structures to minimize the number of components. A 3D scanner is utilized to scan a subject to obtain parameters for a modeling program, which help to construct an optimized halo vest for the subject by printing rather than assembling manually. The subject can easily put on the halo vest without miscellaneous steps.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: ORION BIOTECH INC.Inventor: Ming-Fu Chiang

Patent number: 11291846Abstract: A long-range wireless charging enhancement structure for implantable medical devices (IMDs) is disclosed. The abovementioned enhancement structure provides a possibility for long-range charging the IMDs, which maintains the quality of user's lives and also reduces the risks of replacing the batteries through surgeries. The enhancement structure includes an enhancer, which comprises an emitter, a carrier, an IMD, and an enhancement module. The enhancement module is set within the carrier and disposed at the outer surface of user's skin between the emitter and the IMD. The charging signals emitted by the emitter is enhanced by the enhancement module and further transmitted for charging the IMD inside the user's tissue.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: ORION BIOTECH INC.Inventor: Ming-Fu Chiang

Patent number: 11154307Abstract: A method of controlling automatic stop of a surgical drill 1) uses a smart module to receive instantaneous electrical signals of a driving device coupled to the surgical drill; 2) sets the length of a unit time, and sets the average of all instantaneous electrical signals received in a unit time as a reference electrical signal; and 3) compares the instantaneous electrical signal with the reference electrical signal. When the instantaneous electrical signal experiences a step drop with respect to the reference electrical signal, the smart module sends a stop command to the driving device to stop the operation of the driving device.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: ORION BIOTECH INC.Inventor: Ming-Fu Chiang
