Patents by Inventor Yen-Fu Chen

Yen-Fu Chen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9800113
    Abstract: A modularized servo case includes a hollow first barrel and a hollow second barrel, each of which has a lower opening at a bottom end thereof. The first barrel and the second barrel have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on outer surfaces thereof, respectively. The first and second barrels can be combined together by engagement between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In this way, the different inner components required for the first and second barrels can be separately installed beforehand by modularization, and then the first and second barrels can be assembled. Therefore, the assembly is preferably convenient and the inner components can be assembled simultaneously, thus enhancing the whole production capacity and efficiency and facilitating the disassembly procedure in the later repair and maintenance operation.

  • Patent number: 9792034
    Abstract: A method and system for transferring an image. Displayed are: (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point. A user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object is received, and in response, a selected image is copied into the web page at the selected destination point. The first destination point, the first text, the second destination point, and the second text are stored in the transfer map. The selected image is mapped to the one of the destination points in the transfer map.

  • Publication number: 20170175862
    Abstract: A speed reducer used in a server is disclosed to include a first planetary gear set, a planet gear carrier, an internal gear surrounding the first planetary gear set, and an output gear. The first planet gear includes a first sun gear mounted on the motor output shaft, at least one first planet gear pivotally coupled at the first planet gear carrier and meshed with the first sun gear and the internal gear for driving the first planet gear carrier and the output gear to rotate. Thus, the first planetary gear set reduces the revolving speed of the rotary driving force outputted by the motor output shaft, and effectively transfer the rotary driving force to the output gear, achieving the advantages of low backlash and long service life, reducing power transfer loss, increasing server output torque, and providing high speed ratio, high design flexibility and high assembly yields.

  • Patent number: 9680783
    Abstract: An email update system dynamically updates the content of an email when the originator of an email has sent the email, and the originator later determines that the email requires editing. The updating may take place transparent to the recipient and without the introduction of duplicative content into the recipient's email program. The email update system comprises a delta engine program and a delta temporary storage in a sender's computer, a queue manager program and an intermediate email queue in a server computer, and a recipient email retrieval program in a recipient's computer.

  • Patent number: 9590980
    Abstract: A system for automatically completing fields in online forms, such as login forms and new user registration forms, which employs a Master Cookie File containing sets of records associated with the user, his or her accounts or web sites, and registered values associated with form tags (e.g. username, password, address, email, telephone, etc.). When the user encounters another form, the MCF is automatically searched for matching values and form tags, primarily from the same account or web site, or alternatively from other accounts or sites. A flowing pop-up menu is displayed nearby the form fields from which the user can select values to automatically complete the form. Automatic account information updating, value expiration management, mapping of favorite values, and sharing of values are optional, enhanced functions of the invention.

  • Patent number: 9535946
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer readable media for identifying a user-initiated log file record in a log file are provided. The log file has a user-initiated log file record and a repeating pattern of log file records automatically generated by a software program. The system allows a user to identify first and second timestamp values corresponding to first and second times which identify a time interval of interest in the log file. The system further analyzes the log file to identify the user-initiated log file record having a timestamp value between the first and second timestamp values. The system further identifies the repeating pattern of log file records in the log file.

  • Patent number: 9251137
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements of text entry are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to enter text select text based upon the number of words in phrases of the text, upon the number of letters in words of the text, or upon other patterns of the text. The method may also involve indexing the selected text, matching text currently being entered by the user into an application to a portion of a segment of the indexed text, and entering a remaining portion of the segment of the indexed text into the application based upon the matching. In many embodiments, the text may be selected from the text entered into any of several applications. In a few embodiments, the text may be selected from sources specified by a user. In further embodiments, the sources may constitute data files.

  • Publication number: 20150285339
    Abstract: A motorized servo device includes a case, a motor disposed in the case, a rolling bearing, and a gear mechanism. The case has an installing portion. The motor has an output gear located in the installing portion. The rolling bearing has an inner ring fixedly sleeved onto the installing portion, and an outer ring rotatable relative to the inner ring. The gear mechanism has a first gear engaged with the output gear, a second gear coaxially fixed to the first gear, a third gear fixedly sleeved onto the outer ring of the rolling bearing and engaged with the second gear, and a fourth gear coaxially fixed to the third gear. As a result, the gear mechanism has high transmission efficiency and low possibility of gear jamming, and is easily assembled.
