Patents by Inventor Jyh-Hwa Tzou

Jyh-Hwa Tzou 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: 8203456
    Abstract: A fire detecting system includes a plurality of detectors, and a computing unit coupled to the detectors. The detectors are configured for generating a plurality of detecting values, respectively. For each of the detectors, the detecting value is equal to a first predetermined value when a fire state is detected thereby, and is equal to a second predetermined value when otherwise. The computing unit sets a weight value for each of the detectors and a threshold value, and is configured to perform a weight correcting method for correcting the weight value of each of the detectors based on accuracy of operation of the detectors.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100036623
    Abstract: An electricity detecting system includes a detector module operable to generate a plurality of source electricity values of a target electricity value, and a computing unit coupled to the detector module and receiving the source electricity values therefrom. The detector module includes a plurality of detectors, and each of the source electricity values is obtained using a respective one of the detectors. The computing unit is configured to determine weight values corresponding to the source electricity values while taking into account accuracy of the latter, and to determine a verified electricity value corresponding to the target electricity value from the source electricity values and their weight values. The computing unit is further configured to exclude the source electricity values corresponding to the detectors that have experienced breakdown from determination of the verified electricity value.
