Publication number: 20160270378Abstract: A system for classifying tiny insects includes a cultivation tank, a detecting container, a detector, a gathering device, and a control unit. The cultivation tank is connected to the detecting container, so that the hatched tiny insects can enter the detecting area of the detecting container from the cultivation tank. The detector is used for detecting the characteristics of the tiny insects in the detecting area, and then the control unit controls the switching unit of the gathering device to switch the gathering containers for gathering the tiny insects according to the detecting results. The system of the present invention is capable of automatically classifying the tiny insects and then gathering them to different gathering containers according to their characteristics, so as to decrease the man power and time necessary for factitious classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: RONG-SHUN CHEN, HUNG-YIN TSAI, CHIEN-HUNG LIN, HONG HOCHENG, WEI-LEUN FANG, ANN-SHYN CHIANG, YU-CHING LIN, JHIH-SHUN YANG, YU-CHENG WU, LI-AN CHU, CHIA-LIN WU

Patent number: 8985056Abstract: A detecting platform for holding a tiny insect includes a main body forming a containing space, which passes through the main body and is surrounded by side walls of the main body. A first side wall and a second side wall of the side walls are opposite to each other, and the area of the second side wall is smaller than that of the first side wall. The main body forms a first opening and a second opening passing through the first side wall and the second side wall respectively for the tiny insects entering and leaving the containing space. A bottom plate covers a first through surface of the containing space to form a bottom surface and a detecting area is configured thereon to holding the tiny insects. Accordingly, the tiny insects can stay on the detecting area so as to detect the characteristics of the tiny insects expediently.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventors: Rong-Shun Chen, Jhih-Shun Yang, Yu-Ching Lin, Hung-Yin Tsai, Chien-Hung Lin, Hong Hocheng, Li-An Chu

Patent number: 8755571Abstract: An image method for classifying insects includes the following steps: obtaining detecting images of the insects in a detecting area; obtaining a first foreground image related to the insects by background subtraction; extracting the saturation from the first foreground image and eliminating the non-characteristic objects therein to obtain a second foreground image; extracting the characteristics related to the insects from the second foreground image according to a threshold; and, determining the classifications or the sexes of the insects according to the characteristics. Accordingly, the image method for classifying insects can be used for automatically classifying the insects so as to save the manpower and time.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: National Tsing Hua UniversityInventors: Hung-Yin Tsai, Yu-Ching Lin, Yu-Cheng Wu, Rong-Shun Chen, Hong Hocheng, Li-An Chu

Publication number: 20120293491Abstract: A 3-D touch panel includes a 3-D touch sensor, a capacitance sensing unit electrically connected to the 3-D touch sensor, and a processing unit electrically connected to capacitance sensing unit. The 3-D touch sensor includes a flexible substrate, a flexible plane, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The flexible plane is configured on the flexible substrate and used for a user to touch thereon. The first electrode and the second electrode are correspondingly and respectively configured on the flexible substrate and the flexible plane, and a capacitance is formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The capacitance sensing unit is used for sensing the value of the capacitance, and the processing unit calculates the shearing force, which the user applies on the flexible plane, according to the difference of the capacitance value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2011Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: NATIONAL TSING HUA UNIVERSITYInventors: YUNG-CHEN WANG, TSUN-YI CHEN, RONG-SHUN CHEN, CHENG-YAO LO
