Patents by Inventor Sam Yong Woo

Sam Yong Woo 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: 8761270
    Abstract: In the present invention, time information is sent through a common power line in executing home automation devices or using various industrial equipments. In the power line broadcasting, a small amount of data, such as time information, is transmitted unidirectionally, and long-distance power line broadcasting can be possible using carriers of a low frequency band. time setting for various instruments is automatically performed in response to a power signal after a breakdown of electric current, making unnecessary a user's action to perform the time setting, and the existing power line can be used without change.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2014
    Assignee: Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science

  • Patent number: 7564246
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ion gage using a carbon nano-tube, more specifically a pressure sensor using a field emission of the carbon nano-tube. An array of carbon nano-tubes is formed on a metallic layer. A first grid is disposed on the array of the carbon nano-tubes. A second grid is disposed on the first grid in such a manner as to be spaced apart by a certain desired distance from the first grid. A collector is disposed on the second grid in such a manner as to be spaced apart by a certain desired distance from the second grid. Electrons emitted from the carbon nano-tube are collided with gas molecules to be ionized. The ionized cation is sensed by the collector to be outputted as an electrical signal.
