Publication number: 20240172347Abstract: A lighting device includes a driver, a first light string, a second light string, a constant current controller and a pulse width modulation controller. The driver is configured to provide a DC driving current to a shunt node. The first light string is electrically coupled between the shunt node and a ground terminal, and the first light string is driven by a first pulsating direct current. The second light string and the constant current controller are electrically coupled in series between the shunt node and the ground terminal. The pulse width modulation controller is configured to provide a pulse signal to the constant current controller, and the constant current controller controls a pulse frequency of a second pulsating direct current supplied for the second light string according to the pulse signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Chih-Hsien Wang, Kuan-Hsien Tu, Kai-Wei Chen, Ming-Chieh Cheng

Patent number: 11990493Abstract: An image sensor device is provided. The image sensor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a front surface, a back surface opposite to the front surface, and a light-sensing region close to the front surface. The image sensor device includes an insulating layer covering the back surface and extending into the semiconductor substrate. The protection layer has a first refractive index, and the first refractive index is less than a second refractive index of the semiconductor substrate and greater than a third refractive index of the insulating layer, and the protection layer conformally and continuously covers the back surface and extends into the semiconductor substrate. The image sensor device includes a reflective structure surrounded by insulating layer in the semiconductor substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Chun-Chieh Fang, Ming-Chi Wu, Ji-Heng Jiang, Chi-Yuan Wen, Chien-Nan Tu, Yu-Lung Yeh, Shih-Shiung Chen, Kun-Yu Lin

Patent number: 11974367Abstract: A lighting device includes a light board and a light dimmer circuit. The light board includes multiple first light emitting elements and second light emitting elements. The first light emitting elements are disposed in a first area of the light board. The second light emitting elements are disposed in a second area of the light board. The light dimmer circuit is configured to drive the second light emitting elements to generate flickering lights from the second area of the light board, and is configured to drive the first light emitting elements to generate non-flickering lights from the first area of the light board.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: DELTA ELECTRONICS, INC.Inventors: Chih-Hsien Wang, Ming-Chieh Cheng, Po-Yen Chen, Shih-Chieh Chang, Kuan-Hsien Tu, Xiu-Yi Lin, Ling-Chun Wang

Publication number: 20190037019Abstract: In an example implementation, the method includes automatically determining whether a computer system is located on-premises of a health service provider or on a multi-tenant cloud. The method includes communicatively coupling with health service provider data sources via a local network and extracting health service provider data from them. The health service provider data may include protected health information (PHI) and non-PHI data. The method includes storing the PHI data and the non-PHI data in an on-premises operational data store that is located on-premises of the health service provider. The method includes obtaining data analytics based on the PHI data and the non-PHI data stored in the on-premises operational data store. The method also includes communicatively coupling with a multi-tenant cloud via a global network and synchronizing the non-PHI data in the on-premises operational data store with the multi-tenant cloud via the global network.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2018Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Darren L. Wesemann, Michael R. Donnelly, Orland Kip Williams, Cary J. Martin, Ming-Chieh Tu, Charlton Park, Jeffrey Todd Young, Andrew Mark Hansen, Jonathan Paul Godfrey, Nic Holbrook, Timothy John Morris, Tony Drake, Michael Houston

Publication number: 20160350481Abstract: In an example implementation, a method includes communicatively coupling a tenant instance of a multi-tenant cloud with a corresponding agent that is located on-premises of a health service provider via a global network. The method includes synchronizing the tenant instance with the agent including receiving non-Protected Health Information (non-PHI) data absent Protected Health Information (PHI) data from the agent at the tenant instance via the global network. The method includes extracting the non-PHI data from the agent into a cloud-based operational data store of the tenant instance that corresponds to the agent. The method includes storing the non-PHI data in the cloud-based operational data store. The method includes analyzing the non-PHI data in the cloud-based operational data store by load-balanced services.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: Darren L.
