Chie Yeon Chen 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: 7053685
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a frequency signal enabling apparatus and the method thereof for filtering noises and glitch when entering an operating mode from a power-saving mode. When the pulse width of the input frequency signal is smaller than the threshold pulse width, it will be considered as a noise and be filtered out. When the high-level pulse width of the input frequency signal is greater than the threshold, a first short pulse will be generated. When the low-level pulse width of the input frequency signal is greater than the threshold, a second short pulse will be generated. The relative position of the first short pulse and the second short pulse will be used to reconstruct the frequency signal, and the reconstructed frequency signal may serve as the operating frequency of the microprocessor or other digital IC.

  • Publication number: 20030116624
    Abstract: A memory card reading device comprises a card reader and an adapter. The card reader has a microprocessor, multiple memory card interface circuits, a control circuit, a multiplexer and a connecting port to link with the memory card or the adapter. After the microprocessor and the control circuit detect the specification of the memory card of the adapter, the microprocessor directs the multiplexer to switch to a specific interface circuit corresponding to the detected specification. Therefore the microprocessor can access the data stored on the memory card via the selected specific interface circuit.
