Abstract: A system for calibrating tool center point of robot is provided, which may include a first image sensor, a second image sensor, and a controller. The first image sensor may have a first image central axis. The second image sensor may have a second image central axis not parallel to the first image central axis, and intersect the first image central axis at an intersection point. The controller may control a robot to repeatedly move a tool center point thereof between the first and the second image central axis. The controller may record a calibration point including the coordinates of the joints of the robot when the tool center point overlaps the intersection point, and then move the tool center point and repeat the above steps to generate several calibration points, whereby the controller may calculate the coordinate of the tool center point according to the calibration points.

Abstract: A selecting apparatus for selecting cell/tissue mass includes a base, a feeding mechanism and a dividing mechanism. The base has a platform for placing the cell/tissue mass. The feeding mechanism, disposed on the base, moves relative to the platform. The dividing mechanism, disposed on the feeding mechanism, includes a first cutting set and a second cutting set connected therewith. The second cutting set reciprocally moves between a first position and a second position, toward the first cutting set. The feeding mechanism moves the dividing mechanism above the platform, aligning the dividing mechanism with a portion of the cell/tissue mass, and moves the first cutting set toward the cell/tissue mass, cutting into the portion of the cell/tissue mass. The second cutting set moves from the first position to the second position, limiting the portion of the cell/tissue mass between the first cutting set and the second cutting set.

Abstract: A suction device comprises a first element, a second element, and an intermediate element. The first element comprises a first control volume having a first pressure. The second element comprises a second control volume having a second pressure. The intermediate element is controlled by the first pressure of the first control volume of the first element and the second pressure of the second control volume of the second element. When the first control volume of the first element is varied, the varied first control volume of the first element can substantially have the first pressure under automatic pressure compensation by the second pressure of the second control volume of the second element via the intermediate element.

Abstract: A dissection apparatus is disclosed. The dissection apparatus includes a supporting mechanism, a holder, a driving element rotating the holder, a cam fixed to the supporting mechanism, a first sliding element, a second sliding element, a dissecting device disposed on the first sliding element, an aspirating device disposed on the second sliding element. When the holder rotates to move the dissecting device from a first idle position to an operating position, the first sliding element is lowered by the guide of the cam enabling the aspirating device to move from the operating position to a second idle position. When the holder rotates to move the aspirating device from the second idle position to the operating position, the guide of the cam lowers the second sliding element, thus, allowing the dissecting device is able to move from the operating position to the first idle position.

Abstract: An aspiration device for cells or tissues loaded on a container includes a tubular body, a scraper disposed on the tubular body. The scraper scrapes cells or tissues from the container, and the scraped cells or tissues are suctioned into the tubular body. The scraper includes a connecting portion connected to the tubular body, an elastic portion connected to the connecting portion, and a scraping end connected to the elastic portion. When the scraper scrapes the cells or the tissues, the elastic portion deforms elastically to enable the scraping end to abut the surface of the container, thus, the cells or tissues are scraped.

A digital thermometer is disposed in a machining tool or on the tool mount for feeding data to a system controller. A laser is used to enable the blade of the machining tool to heat and soften a workpiece instantaneously. As the machining process is in progress, the chip is rapidly removed. The temperature of the tool tip is monitored by the digital thermometer for automatic control of the temperature of heating the workpiece by the laser, thereby keeping the temperature of the tool tip in a specific allowable range. The efficiency of the machining process and the surface precision are thus enhanced.
