Title: Ta-Tung Lin: Innovator in Digital Data Processing

Introduction

Ta-Tung Lin was a notable inventor known for his contributions to digital data processing. He resided in Harleysville, PA (US) and held a patent that showcased his innovative approach to analyzing line sequential binary data. His work has had a lasting impact on the field of electronic data analysis.

Latest Patents

Ta-Tung Lin was granted a patent for a "Preprocessing circuitry apparatus for digital data." This apparatus is designed to analyze line sequential binary data generated by scanning a printed circuit board with a scanning laser apparatus. The invention focuses on the characteristics of conducting strips on an electrically insulated substrate, which can be defined by the number and locations of their corners, as well as their widths. The apparatus processes the line sequential data to form a two-dimensional image array of the circuit board, containing crucial information about the conducting corners and widths. The data is smoothed to eliminate errors caused by noise and scanning equipment tolerances. Subsequently, it is transmitted to a corner recognition and pairing circuit, which identifies corner features of the conductors. The invention also includes a line/space width error detection circuit that generates error signals if any conductors or spaces fall below predetermined minimums.
