Patent number: 8436848Abstract: An exemplary gate output control method includes the following steps: providing a gate control signal; using an angling control signal to angling modulate the gate control signal so as to generate a modulated gate control signal; and supplying the modulated gate control signal to a first integrated gate driver circuit and a second integrated gate driver circuit, to sequentially control the gate outputs of the first integrated gate driver circuit and the second integrated gate driver circuit. A duty ratio used by the angling control signal at the time of modulating the gate control signal to generate the modulated gate control signal for the first integrated gate driver circuit is different from another duty ratio used by the angling control signal at the time of modulating the gate control signal to generate the modulated gate control signal for the second integrated gate driver circuit.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2010Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: AU Optronics Corp.Inventors: Chao-Ching Hsu, Yi-Fan Lin, Kuan-Ming Lin, Shih-Yuan Su

Patent number: 7574742Abstract: A system and method comprising providing a plurality of signature strings, inputting a plurality of strings, separating the signature strings into a plurality of signature groups, respectively detecting common features for the signature strings for each of the signature groups and the input strings, comparing the detected common features for each of the signature groups with those of the input strings, and matching the input strings and the signature groups if the detected common features for the signature groups match those of the input strings. In one aspect, the string matching further comprises matching the input strings with the signature strings for those of the signature groups having common features that match the common features of the input strings. In another aspect, the common features comprise distances or gaps between characters in the input strings and the signature strings.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2004Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignees: Industrial Technology Research Institute, The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Tzy-Jian Yang, Kuan-Ming Lin, Shing-Hung Lee, Shyhtsun Felix Wu

Patent number: 7389545Abstract: A baseball glove includes a palm side ply that has an inner face and a palm section, and a back side ply facing the inner face and connected to the palm side ply. A cushion sheet is attached to the inner face of the palm side ply, and has a palm portion substantially corresponding to the palm section, a plurality of finger portions extending upwardly from the palm portion, a plurality of webs each extending between two adjacent ones of the finger portions, a hill portion projecting from the palm portion, and a plurality of curved ribs each disposed along a respective one of the webs. The hill portion and the curved ribs have shock-absorbing foamed materials.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignee: Taiwan Sakura Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuan-Ming Lin, Tai-Ming Chung

Patent number: 7369769Abstract: An Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) ring for providing protection against fiber failures. The optical network unit (ONU) is coupled to the ring fiber by a three-port passive optical splitting module that has three two-way optical passages. By the three two-way optical passages, the OUN receives/transmits data from/to the two ends of the optical line termination (OLT) to provide protection while the fiber failure. Moreover, it provides better authorization of users and simpler collision detection by the two-way transmission of the three-port passive optical splitting module to prevent hackers from invading and to reduce collisions.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Tzu-Jian Yang, Kuan-Ming Lin, Yen-Pin Tseng, Ja-Nan Wang, Jeffrey Liu

Patent number: 7360254Abstract: A baseball glove includes a glove body having palm and back side panels which are interconnected to form a hand-receiving pocket that includes finger sections. The back side panel has a through hole below one of the finger sections, and a lacing provided along a periphery of the through hole. The through hole is adapted for extension of a player's index finger therethrough so as to dispose the index finger out of the glove body. A finger-limiting rib unit projects from the back side panel, and surrounds the lacing in a spaced apart relationship. The finger-limiting rib unit has a limiting portion disposed above the lacing and adapted to prevent the player's index finger from slipping on the back side panel.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Taiwan Sakurai Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuan-Ming Lin, Tai-Ming Chung

Publication number: 20080060106Abstract: A baseball glove includes a glove body including a palm side panel that has a ball-catching region, and a back side panel interconnected to the palm side panel to define a hand-receiving chamber. The hand-receiving chamber has an opening that is adapted for insertion of a player's hand therein, and includes finger sections adapted for insertion of fingers of the player therein. A plurality of spaced-apart protective ribs project outwardly from the back side panel, and extend respectively along back sides of the finger sections.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: Taiwan Sakurai Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuan-Ming Lin, Tai-Ming Chung

Publication number: 20080060104Abstract: A baseball glove includes a glove body having back and palm sections, thumb and finger pockets, and a web bridging the thumb and finger pockets. The palm section has a thumb's ball area, a hypothenar area, a heel area, and a ball-catching region formed between the thumb's ball and hypothenar areas and above the heel area. At least one restraining rib is provided on the palm section, and bounds partially the ball-catching region. The restraining rib is adapted to prevent a caught ball from slipping off the ball-catching region, and extends between the ball-catching region and the thumb's ball area, between the ball-catching region and the heel area, and between the ball-catching region and the hypothenar area. The ball-catching region is unbounded at one side of the ball-catching region opposite to the restraining rib.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: March 13, 2008Applicant: Taiwan Sakurai Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kuan-Ming Lin, Tai-Ming Chung
