Juh-Gua Shiau 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: 7629758
    Abstract: A driving apparatus and a driving method for a single phase motor utilizes a driving transistor unit, and an auxiliary driving transistor unit to provide two driving currents with the same direction as the single phase coil. Next, a control unit is used to control the conducting and shutting down of the driving transistor unit and the auxiliary driving transistor unit according to the location of the rotating device of the single phase motor. Thereby, the driving current on the single phase coil recirculates to reduce the vibration and noise of the single phase motor, and prevent the problem of the single phase motor not turning on.

  • Patent number: 7315216
    Abstract: An adjusting frequency device of built-in oscillator for USB interface and a method thereof are described. It is Auto detect the error of bit-rate between the USB host and the USB device, and produce tiny counting time for clocking the clock error between the USB host and the USB device by a delay lock loop. The clock error after quantification, digitization and operation outputting a quantitative code, then the oscillator adjusts the oscillation frequency according to the quantitative code. Whereby adjusting the oscillation frequency of the USB device and the frequency of the USB host to less than 1% clock error for ensuring the accuracy of data transmission.

  • Patent number: 5823871
    Abstract: An interface control device to be mounted between a TV game equipment and a PC interface card. The interface control device includes three main signal generating circuits and an address decoding circuit to process various signals and send a data-transmission acknowledgment signal to an expansion slot of the TV game equipment such that signals generated from the expansion slot interface of a TV game equipment can be converted into signals recognizable by the PC standard bus interface so as to allow the TV game equipment to directly access data via an interface card originally inserted on a PC standard bus, and enhance the utilizability of the expansion slot interface of the current TV game equipment.
