  • Patent number: 9532186
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bidirectional voice transmission system and a method thereof, wherein the system timing of the system is divided into three time slots for carrying a control signal, a broadcast voice signal and a mobile device voice signal. The bidirectional voice transmission system is able to carry out the signal transmission by way of frequency frogging, so as to effectively avoid the signal interference from occurring between any two different signal transmitting and receiving devices. Besides, all of the mobile devices can be added into the bidirectional voice transmission system by way of dynamic building, without using any specific communication interface. The most important is that, the number of node routers can be expanded to about 65,000 in order to apply the bidirectional voice transmission system in a huge range network communication or a wild rescue field.

  • Patent number: 8665155
    Abstract: An emergency rescue system and a rescue-information judgment method are disclosed. The emergency rescue system includes a plurality of fixed nodes, a dynamic node and a back-end processing platform. Each fixed node has its own fixed node identification. The dynamic node can be a portable device with an emergency illumination module. If the dynamic node is manipulated to broadcast a mayday signal, at least one of the fixed nodes senses the mayday signal. Each fixed node which senses the mayday signal sends the fixed node identification thereof and signal strength of the sensed mayday signal to the back-end processing platform. Thereby, the back-end processing platform calculates and determines a rescue location relative to the dynamic node.

  • Patent number: 7701361
    Abstract: A parking information sensing device is disclosed. Each parking space in a parking lot is disposed with a parking information sensing device, detecting whether a car on the parking space. By means of a driving control circuit, the sensing device drives a light emitting unit to emit a light and a reflecting element of the parking space is on a pathway of the light. Light is reflected by the reflecting element and then passes light sensing unit that detects the reflected light and generates a first sensing signal sent to the driving control circuit. Thus the driving control circuit judges if there is no vehicle on the parking space. On the other hand, it judges if there is a car on the parking space according to another sensing signal. The sensing device further includes a first transmitting/receiving unit that forms a wireless mesh network among parking information sensing devices.

  • Patent number: 6380887
    Abstract: A method is proposed for use on a coherent Doppler radar system for the purpose of reducing the clutter and mutual interference in the coherent Doppler radar system. The echoed radar signal from the target object is converted into a Range-Doppler Domain output signal. If the Range-Doppler Domain output signal indicates the presence of mutual interference, a Crisscrossing CFAR method is selected to compute for the CFAR back-ground value; otherwise an Area CFAR method is selected. A target-detection logic circuit is then used to obtain the radar information about the target object. By the proposed method, the output signal of the target-detection logic circuit is substantially free from clutter and mutual interference, which is further converted into a radar display signal to drive a radar display unit to display the location and velocity of the target object.
