Patent number: 11918365Abstract: An electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement device for a vehicle is provided. The ECG measurement device includes an impedance compensator that corresponds to an electrode in contact with a body of a driver and configured to compensate an impedance of each of electrode signals received from the electrode. An electrode selector sequentially selects the electrode signals in response to receiving the electrode signals from the electrode. A differential amplifier differentially amplifies the electrode signals. In particular, each electrode signal has the compensated impedance. Additionally, a signal quality evaluator evaluates quality of an ECG signal output from the differential amplifier and a compensation controller then adjusts an impedance compensation value of each of the impedance compensators as a result of evaluating the quality of the ECG signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia CorporationInventors: Yoon Jong Choi, Hyun Wook Jun, Yeong Joon Gil, Min Yong Shin, Soo Hwan Kim

Patent number: 9186127Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling voltage levels of overall outputs in a combinational mode, in an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus that may operate in the combinational mode. A judging unit of the ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus may judge whether at least a part of individual modes included in the combinational mode exceeds a threshold determined by safety standards, in accordance with an inputted overall output voltage level control command. When it is judged that at least the part of the individual modes exceeds the threshold determined by the safety standards, an output control unit may maintain an individual output with respect to the at least the part, among the voltage levels that may be outputted from a transducer, to be below the threshold, so that the individual output may be below the standards in accordance with the overall output control command.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: SAMSUNG MEDISON CO., LTD.Inventors: Sandstrom Kurt, Dae Young Kim, Soo Hwan Shin, Tae-Yun Kim
