Latest Patents

Chen’s listed patent, “Vehicle navigational system,” describes a lighting system with a scanning unit and one or more lighting assemblies. Each assembly uses laser diodes, a lens array, and a controller that individually adjusts the power level of each diode. The lens array forms the emitted light into a collimated beam, while the scanning unit directs the beams in two orthogonal directions. The components are mounted on a substrate within a common housing, and the lighting assemblies are arranged in an arc relative to the scanner. Chen is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.

Career Highlights

Chen’s listed invention focuses on integrating controlled laser illumination with vehicle navigation. The design combines adjustable light sources, beam collimation, and scanning in a compact assembly.

Collaborations

Chen is associated with General Electric Company. His listed coworkers include Loucas Tsakalakos and Binoy Milan Shah.

Conclusion

Chen-Po Chen’s vehicle navigational system patent reflects an approach to vehicle lighting that combines individually controlled laser diodes with scanning and collimated beams.
