Hsien-Ching Hsieh 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: 10737581
    Abstract: An adaptive power supply system for an unmanned vehicle and an operation method thereof are provided. The adaptive power supply system includes an adaptive power supply, a battery, a sensing circuit, and a power dispatch controller. The output terminal of the adaptive power supply powers the load circuit of the unmanned vehicle. The battery is coupled to the output terminal of the adaptive power supply. The sensing circuit senses the output of the output terminal of the adaptive power supply and the output of the battery. The power dispatch controller controls the output of the output terminal of the adaptive power supply according to the sensing result of the sensing circuit. The power dispatch controller determines whether one or both of the adaptive power supply and the battery power the load circuit by adjusting the output of the adaptive power supply.

  • Patent number: 8769245
    Abstract: A very long instruction word (VLIW) processor and an apparatus with power management and a method of power management therefor are provided in consistent with the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure. The power management method includes the following steps. Valid instruction(s) and no operation (NOP) instruction(s) of an input instruction package are rearranged to output a transcoded instruction package, wherein the transcoded instruction package by the rearrangement has its NOP instruction(s) corresponding to at least one execution unit, which is to be placed in power reduction state, of a VLIW processor. Power reduction control is selectively performed on at least one execution unit corresponding to at least one NOP instruction of the transcoded instruction package according to the transcoded instruction package.
