Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring cracks remotely and the device thereof. First, multiple laser spots with known a shape are projected onto a remote wall and beside a crack. Then, by using geometric calculations, the relative coordinates of the laser spots on the wall and the real distance can be given and used as the reference length of the crack. Next, a camera is used for taking a picture of the remote crack along with the laser spots; the image identification technology is used for calculating the relevant parameters of the crack. Thereby, to acquire the parameters of the crack, a user needs not to be present at the site for measuring at a short distance or placing a reference object, and thus providing safety and convenience.

Abstract: A computer for assisting in determining the strength of fixing a craniofacial surgery patch comprises a storage device for storing a medical image and a central processing unit, the central processing unit carry out a method for assisting in determining the strength of fixing a craniofacial surgery patch. The method includes obtaining a medical image; establishing a skull model according to the medical image; receiving a patch setting command, and disposing a patch model on the skull model according to the patch setting command; generating an internal grid mesh data of the skull model disposed with the patch model; executing a biomechanical simulation of a patch structural strength according to the skull model disposed with the patch model, the internal grid mesh data and a boundary condition; and providing a stress distribution, a strain distribution or a displacement distribution of the patch model to assist in determining.

Abstract: A grinding process for forming a slurry of nanoparticles, consists of the following steps: forming a mixture by mixing a matrix, a dispersant and dispersing media together; adding a pre-treated grinding-media into the mixture; wherein the grinding-media are glass beads with an average particle diameter of less than 100 □m; milling or grinding the mixture; and separating the grinding-media from the mixture to get a slurry of nanoparticles. A pigment dispersion produced from the grinding process illustrated above is also disclosed.
