  • Publication number: 20240126704
    Abstract: A data input device includes a first delay line, a second delay line, a detection circuit, and a processing circuit. The detection circuit is configured to detect whether a first output data output to a system circuit deviates from a first detection range and to generate a first deviation signal in response to that the detection circuit detects the first output data deviates from the first detection range. The processing circuit normally takes a first delayed data delayed by the first delay line as the first output data. In response to that the processing circuit receives that the first deviation signal representing the first delayed data deviates from the first detection range, the processing circuit takes a second delayed data delayed by the second delay line as the first output data after the second adjustable delay magnitude of the second delay line is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11449927
    Abstract: Device and method for implementing a vehicle sharing reward program. The present invention provides for a cost-sharing plan where two or more constituencies share the rental cost associated with a user who rents a shared vehicle in a vehicle sharing program. This results in a reimbursement of the rental cost to the user. When enrolling in the vehicle sharing reward program, the user is given a health prescription to adhere to on any trip taken while using a shared vehicle.
