Patent number: 11918365Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement device for a vehicle is provided. The ECG measurement device includes an impedance compensator that corresponds to an electrode in contact with a body of a driver and configured to compensate an impedance of each of electrode signals received from the electrode. An electrode selector sequentially selects the electrode signals in response to receiving the electrode signals from the electrode. A differential amplifier differentially amplifies the electrode signals. In particular, each electrode signal has the compensated impedance. Additionally, a signal quality evaluator evaluates quality of an ECG signal output from the differential amplifier and a compensation controller then adjusts an impedance compensation value of each of the impedance compensators as a result of evaluating the quality of the ECG signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia CorporationInventors: Yoon Jong Choi, Hyun Wook Jun, Yeong Joon Gil, Min Yong Shin, Soo Hwan Kim

Patent number: 6236249Abstract: A power-on reset circuit reduces power consumption and layout area by utilizing a time delay to deactivate a reset circuit and clamp a reset signal a period of time after a power supply voltage has reached a predetermined level. The reset circuit includes a reset signal generator which maintains the reset signal in an active state until the power supply voltage has reached the predetermined level. The reset signal generator then deactivates the reset signal which causes a delay circuit to begin a time delay after which a delay signal is asserted. The delay signal deactivates a comparator in the reference voltage generator, a voltage detector, and a reset signal generator within the reset circuit, thereby reducing power consumption. The delay signal also activates a clamp circuit which clamps the reset signal to an inactive state.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Soo-Hwan Choi, Jong-Mia Park
