Abstract:
A method and system for qualifying a surgical clip applier with surgical clips are proposed. After successive firing operations of the surgical clip applier, an image capture unit captures sampling images associated respectively with angularly equidistant radial recesses in a rotatable clip-receiving disk for receiving anything fired from the surgical clip applier. Upon determining that each sampling image contains an individual target image portion showing a single fired surgical clip, a processing unit verifies the qualification of the surgical clip applier based on a predetermined specification and characteristic parameters obtained respectively from the individual target image portions and associated respectively with the surgical clips, which are received respectively in the radial recesses.
Abstract:
A method for determining if a wire guide roller having a plurality of V-shaped grooves, each having a copper line thereon, arranged column-by-column on a periphery direction thereof is failed after slicing a plurality of wafers is disclosed. Based on the disclosed technical means, the efficacy may be achieved that a damage situation may be automatically examined and notified to maintain a yield in the slicing process in an online high speed environment.
