  • Publication number: 20250170717
    Abstract: A method is provided for planning a movement path for a non-fixed end of a robotic arm. A mixed reality (MR) device is used to capture hand images of a user to obtain multiple target coordinate sets in an MR coordinate system. A computer device is used to convert the target coordinate sets into multiple path coordinate sets in a robot base coordinate system, and controls the non-fixed end of a robotic arm to move along a movement path as indicated by the path coordinate sets. A camera device is used to capture images of a base that the robotic arm is fixed to for conversion of the target coordinate sets into the path coordinate sets.

  • Patent number: 12144557
    Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes a surgical robot holding a surgical instrument, a wearable device worn by a person, a camera for capturing images, and a computer device. The camera captures images of a base marker, and a dynamic reference frame disposed on an affected part of a patient. The computer device calculates a plurality of conversion relationships among different coordinate systems, and controls the surgical robot to move the surgical instrument according to a pre-planned surgical path and based on the conversion relationships. Furthermore, the computer device transmits data of a 3D model and the pre-planned surgical path to the wearable device, such that the wearable device is configured to present the 3D model in combination with the pre-planned surgical path as an AR image based on the conversion relationships.

  • Patent number: 11797060
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided, which includes a first body, a second body, and a pivot structure connecting the first body and the second body. The pivot structure includes a shaft with an axis, a first assembling element assembled with the shaft and connected with the first body and a second assembling element pivotally connected to the shaft and connected with the second body. The second assembling element includes an abutting portion. When at the first position, the abutting portion and the first assembling element are located on the same side relative to the axis. When at the second position, the abutting portion rotates around the axis and is located on a different side relative to the axis, and the abutting portion abuts the abutting surface to generate an abutting force. Then the first body rises and an angle relative to the abutting surface is generated.

  • Patent number: 11759802
    Abstract: A garden sprinkler has an input base, an output member rotatably installed at the top of the input base, and a rotating member capable of driving the output member. The output Both sides of the output member are respectively equipped with a first outlet and a second outlet. The first outlet is equipped with a first sprinkler, and the second outlet is equipped with a second sprinkler and an adjusting sleeve. The second sprinkler is a side outlet and is screwed with the adjusting sleeve. The second sprinkler can be adjusted by the adjusting sleeve, which improves the convenience of sprinkling operation without multiple sprinkler heads.

  • Publication number: 20130180372
    Abstract: A processing method of channels in a control valve includes steps of (1) preparing materials, which provides a valve base having a connecting portion protrudingly formed at outer periphery of a first pressure chamber, and an enlarging portion expandingly formed downward from the connecting portion; and (2) manufacturing channels, wherein a vertical channel is formed from upper portion of the connecting portion of the valve base to the enlarging portion, and a horizontal channel is formed from periphery of the first pressure chamber slantedly toward the enlarging portion. The valve base can be adjusted by adjusting a disposing angle, so that a drill head can drill slantedly from periphery of the first pressure chamber toward the enlarging portion without being interfered by an opening of the valve base, to achieve the goal of connecting the vertical channel without drilling through valve body of the valve base to assure completeness thereof.
