Title: **Inventor Profile: Tat Leung Lai**

Introduction

Tat Leung Lai, an accomplished inventor based in Torrance, California, has made substantial contributions to the field of technology with a remarkable portfolio of 16 patents. His work primarily focuses on advancements in computer technology, particularly in memory modules and diagnostic tools.

Latest Patents

One of Lai's latest innovations is the "Memory-module extender card for visually decoding addresses from diagnostic programs and ignoring operating system accesses." This diagnostic extender card is designed to be plugged into a memory module socket on a personal computer motherboard. It features a test socket that accommodates a memory module alongside an intercepting decoder chip. When the chip-select (CS) signal from the motherboard is activated, a visual indicator on the extender card illuminates, guiding users in identifying the memory module currently being accessed. This invention simplifies the diagnostic process by negating the need for exact address translation, as the visual cues indicate real-time access to memory modules, irrespective of proprietary address mapping. Additionally, the system intelligently filters out operating system memory accesses through a counter function, enhancing the diagnostic capabilities of the tool.
