  • Patent number: 8838272
    Abstract: A robotic arm control system is provided. In, the robotic arm control system, any three points A, B, and C of an object to be determined are picked, thereby creating an original coordinate system. A robotic arm is directed to rotate around the x-axis of the original coordinate system to reach the points B and C. During the rotation of the robotic arm, the three points A, B, and C are recorded by a visual process. A non-linear mapping relation of the original coordinate system and the operation coordinate system is calculated according to length ratios, an angular ratio, and a differential ratio of the difference of the length ratios to the angle between the line A-B and the line A-C, thereby controlling the movement of the robotic arm according to the non-linear mapping relation. The disclosure further provides a robotic arm control method.

  • Patent number: 8823538
    Abstract: In a method for optimizing an order in which certain points on a circuit board can be tested and evaluated, a coordinate system is established in a circuit diagram of a circuit board, and at least one locating point is preset. When an operator selects a signal path routing within the circuit diagram, the method can display the testing points in the selected signal path routing on a display device. After calculating the distance between each of the testing points and each of the at least one locating point, a group of distances is obtained. By comparing the distances, the minimum distance can be determined from the group of distances. The method further optimizes the order of the testing points according to the distance between each of the testing points and the locating point that consists of the minimum distance.

  • Patent number: 8768993
    Abstract: A direct current compensation method for S-parameter rational functions reads S-parameters f(sk), which are generated at given frequency sk, from a storage unit. An S-parameter, which is generated at frequency sk=0 is supplemented into the S-parameters f(sk), upon the condition that there is no S-parameter which is generated at the frequency sk=0. An S-parameter ration function is generated according to the S-parameters f(sk). A DC level of the S-parameter rational function is compensated to generate a compensated S-parameter rational function.

  • Patent number: 8744795
    Abstract: A method for modulating multiple-instruments and multiple-sensors using an electronic device. The electronic device controls an instrument to measure the working parameters of an object, and controls a sensor to detect the working temperature of the object. By comparing the working parameters against a predefined range, and comparing the working temperature against a predefined temperature value, the electronic device determines whether the instrument and the sensor need to be modulated. If any of the working parameters is not within the predefined range or if the working temperature is greater than the predefined temperature value, the electronic device controls the instrument and the sensor to be modulated by using a modulation transfer function and a predetermined direction.
