Patents by Inventor I-Chiao Tsai

I-Chiao Tsai 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: 12235136
    Abstract: A control method and a controller related to electromagnetic tracking are provided. In the method, a working position is determined, and the working position is the position at which a magnetic field sensor is located relative to a magnetic field emitter; an electrical characteristic of the magnetic field emitter or the magnetic field sensor is adjusted to a target characteristic corresponding to the working position. In this way, the positioning accuracy may be improved.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10322770
    Abstract: An electricity aided bicycle and an auxiliary power controlling method thereof are provided. The electricity aided bicycle includes a driving circuit, a rotating speed detector and a command voltage generator. The driving circuit receives a command voltage, and drives an auxiliary motor of the electricity aided bicycle based on the command voltage. The rotating speed detector generates a detection signal having a plurality of pulses based on a rotation status of a driving gear of the electricity aided bicycle. The command voltage generator receives the detection signal, and is configured to: calculate times between two adjacent pulses in the detection signal, operate numerical value derivation operation based on the times to generate an estimated velocity value, set an electricity aid strategy table and calculate the command voltage based on the estimated velocity value and the electricity aid strategy table.
