Patent number: 11799461Abstract: A memory device and a slew rate detector are provided. The slew rate detector includes a clock signal generator, a pulse signal generator, a plurality of sampling comparators, and a detection result generator. The clock signal generator multiplies a frequency of a base clock signal to generate clock signals. The pulse signal generator generates first pulse signals and second pulse signals according to the clock signals. Each of the sampling comparators samples each of transmission signals to generate a reference signal according to the first pulse signals, and samples each of the transmission signals to generate a comparison signal according to the second pulse signals. The sampling comparators compare the reference signals with the comparison signals to generate comparison results. The detection result generator performs an operation on the comparison results to generate detection results.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Winbond Electronics Corp.Inventor: Yen-Yu Chou

Patent number: 9460801Abstract: A method for determining a storing state of a flash memory is provided. The method includes the following steps. Firstly, plural first specific cell patterns are programmed into the flash memory. Then, plural second specific cell patterns are programmed into the flash memory. Then, a slicing voltage is adjusted to allow a distinguishable error percentage to be lower than a predetermined value. Afterwards, a first storing state and a second storing state of other cells of the flash memory are distinguished from each other according to the adjusted slicing voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignees: LITE-ON ELECTRONICS (GUANGZHOU) LIMITED, LITE-ON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Shih-Jia Zeng, Chien-Fu Tseng, Hsie-Chia Chang, Yen-Yu Chou

Patent number: 9358173Abstract: A rehabilitation and training apparatus is built based on the empirical law by introducing physical therapists' experiences into the apparatus to simulate therapy with hands in the course of rehabilitation. The apparatus includes a multi-axis robotic arm having first to eighth arm segments, and a high-precision control system for controlling movements of the multi-axis robotic arm. The control system provides an active, a passive and an auxiliary mode; receives and computes information about a patient's movements and muscle force detected by potentiometers and force sensors provided in the multi-axis robotic arm; and accordingly, drives actuators to apply an aiding force or a resisting force to assist the patient in completing rehabilitation exercises. The apparatus also includes a humanized operating interface, via which a doctor or a physical therapist may obtain related rehabilitation data for assessment and adjustment of rehabilitation therapeutic courses.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2012Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITYInventors: Li-Chen Fu, Wei-Wen Wang, Cheng-Chang Ho, Yen-Yu Chou
