Patent number: 11506611Abstract: A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection method is provided for detecting a target analyte in a sample. The SERS detection method generally includes the steps of: (a). preparing an extract of the sample; (b). introducing the sample extract onto a SERS substrate, causing the target analyte to be absorbed in the SERS substrate; (c). introducing a volatile organic solvent onto the SERS substrate to have the target analyte of the sample extract dissolved and comes out of the SERS substrate; (d). irradiating the SERS substrate with light to evaporate the volatile organic solvent, leaving a more condensed target analyte on the SERS substrate; (e). irradiating the condensed target analyte with laser light to have the target analyte penetrate deeply into the SERS substrate; and (f). performing Raman measurement with a laser beam focusing on the SERS substrate to analyze the target analyte.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: PHANSCO CO., LTD.Inventors: Chao-Ming Tsen, Ching-Wei Yu, Wei-Chung Chao, Yung-Hsiang Wang, Cheng-Chien Li, Shao-Kai Lin, Tzu-Hung Hsu, Chang-Jung Wen

Patent number: 8925820Abstract: A stored-value container has a body and a stored-value chip mounted on the body. The stored-value chip stores payment information for transaction deduction after being read by an external device. When using the stored-value container to buy beverage, instead of paying with cash or a stored-value card, a consumer can hand the stored-value container to a store clerk to finish payment directly through the stored-value chip. Accordingly, with the stored-value container, consumers can finish the purchasing procedure quickly without carrying cash or a stored-value card and also take environmental protection into account.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Inventors: Po-Hung Yao, Wei-Chung Chao

Publication number: 20130271400Abstract: A shake unlock method for unlocking a shake unlock mobile touch device has steps of displaying an initial unlock image, receiving a touch signal that occurs when the initial unlock image is touched, displaying a shaking control image and an unlock endpoint on the touch panel, receiving a series of continuous location coordinates after the mobile touch device is shaken and varying coordinates of the shaking control image according to the received series of continuous location coordinates, and unlocking a lock mode of the mobile touch device when detecting the coordinates of the shaking control image coincide with coordinates of the unlock endpoint. Accordingly, the drawback of unlocking a conventional mobile touch device arising from the difficulty of dragging an image with single-handed operation can be eliminated without requiring additional hardware equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Inventors: Po-Hung Yao, Wei-Chung Chao
