  • Patent number: 12477252
    Abstract: A dynamic vision sensor (DVS) including a plurality of substrates electrically connected to one another and stacked vertically includes a photoelectric conversion device configured to generate charges in response to incident light from an external environment that is external to the DVS sensor, a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) device including a base connected to the photoelectric conversion device and configured to output a current based on amplifying a current output from the photoelectric conversion device, and a DVS pixel circuit that detects a change in intensity of the incident light and to output an event signal based on the current. The photoelectric conversion device is on a first substrate among the plurality of substrates. At least part of the DVS pixel circuit is on a different substrate from the first substrate among the plurality of substrates.

  • Patent number: 10786169
    Abstract: A wearable device includes a case, a bio-processor embedded in the case, and a plurality of electrodes connected to the bio-processor. The bio-processor is configured to selectively and respectively operate the electrodes as sensing electrodes and sourcing electrodes in response to a selection signal. The selected one/ones of the electrodes operated as sensing electrodes which pick up a biological signal from (e.g. biological activity or a biological condition of) the wearer. The selected one/ones of the electrodes operated as sourcing electrodes supply current to the wearer regulated to cause the desired biological signal to be picked up by the sensing electrode(s).

  • Patent number: 10674925
    Abstract: An electrode assembly for measuring bio-signals includes a body, a fastening member extending from the body and provided on one side of the body, the fastening member including a spring groove formed therein and an aperture penetrating therethrough, and a spring inserted into the spring groove. The aperture receives a fastening stud of a patch which is supplied from outside. The spring compresses the fastening stud received in the aperture such that the fastening member fixes the fastening stud thereto.

  • Patent number: 10120481
    Abstract: An apparatus is configured to perform a method for scrolling a display screen to correspond to a touch input in a mobile terminal. Upon detecting a touch input, the mobile terminal determines an actual coordinate value of the detected touch input, obtains a predicted coordinate value for the determined actual coordinate value, obtains a smoothed coordinate value by performing a smoothing operation on the obtained predicted coordinate value, and determines that the detected touch input has occurred at the obtained smoothed coordinate value.
