  • Patent number: 7618185
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric medical thermometer for measuring temperature of patients in cavity. The electric medical thermometer comprises a temperature detecting set, including a temperature detecting element, for capturing temperature signals and a temperature calculating device for temperature signals processing. By combining a primary sampling frequency with a secondary sampling frequency, where the primary sampling frequency is greater than the secondary sampling frequency, the temperature calculating device translates temperature signals captured from the temperature detecting device into a temperature measurement. The underlining method of the present invention is realized by imitating the physiology of the heart beat pulse, which serves as a resource engine of thermal compensation and as an example for the sampling frequency in order to attain more precise and reliable temperature measurement.

  • Publication number: 20080162796
    Abstract: A method for performing a static wear leveling on a flash memory is disclosed. Accordingly, a static wear leveling unit is disposed with a block reclamation unit of either a flash translation layer or a native file system in the flash memory, and utilizes less memory space to trace a distribution status of block leveling cycles of each physical block of the flash memory. Based on the distribution record of the block leveling cycles, the number of the leveling cycles less than a premeditated threshold would be found while the system idles. Then the static wear leveling unit requests the block reclamation unit to level the found blocks. Before leveling the found block, the rarely updated data is compelled to move from one block to another block which is leveled frequently, whereby accurate wear leveling cycles for the blocks can be averaged extremely.
