Latest Patents

One of Yang’s latest patents, “Fingerprint Image Reconstruction Based on Motion Estimate Across a Narrow Fingerprint Sensor,” describes reconstructing a fingerprint image from multiple frames captured by a swipe sensor. The method estimates motion between consecutive frames while using only part of each frame, helping reduce the system resources needed for reconstruction.

Another patent, “Audio Post Processing in DVD, DTV and Other Audio Visual Products,” concerns sequencing audio-processing algorithms to create a live or theater-like listening experience. The system adapts processing to available equipment and listener preferences. Depending on the selected setup, it can apply downmixing or Prologic processing, route surround and low-frequency audio to compatible speakers, and use additional algorithms to shape the sound. It can also send the processed signal to headphones.
