Patents by Inventor Albert Yen-Chih Chiou

Albert Yen-Chih Chiou has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11265010
    Abstract: An incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with high accuracy. The incremental ADC has a delta-sigma modulator, performing delta-sigma modulation on an analog input signal to output a quantized signal, and a digital filter, receiving the quantized signal to generate a digital representation of the analog input signal. A loop filter of the delta-sigma modulator has a preset circuit. In the preset circuit, the output terminal of the loop filter is preset rather than being reset during the reset phase of the incremental ADC.

  • Publication number: 20180000393
    Abstract: A multiple physiological signals sensing chip is provided. The multiple physiological signals sensing chip includes a substrate, a first light-emitting diode, a second light-emitting diode, a sensing array, and a processing unit. The substrate includes a contact surface touched by a finger. The first and second light-emitting diodes respectively emit red light and infrared light to the finger. The sensing array senses the red light or the infrared light reflected or refracted from the finger to obtain first physiological sensing signals according to a first sensing period or senses the red light and the infrared light reflected or refracted from the finger to obtain second physiological sensing signals according to a second sensing period. The first sensing period is shorter than the second sensing period. The processing unit respectively processes the first and second physiological sensing signals to obtain spatial information and energy information corresponding to the finger.
