Patents by Remzi Oten


My patents can be put in 3 categories. The patents can be found at: Remzi Oten's patents

1) Single CMOS sensor  improvement related patents:
2) Three sensor camera structure related patents
3) Phone case related patents

Here are some samples:

SINGLE CMOS SENSOR IMPROVEMENT

Patent number: 7982784
Abstract: A method for reducing the row noise from complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor by using average values from sub-regions of the shielded pixels. The method operates on sensor with and without a Color Filter Array (CFA) before any interpolation is applied and estimates the local offset by subtracting out outliers and averaging the averages of sub-regions in the shielded pixels. The method also reducses the pixel-to-pixel noise while reducing the row noise.
Type: Grant
Filed: June 16, 2009
Date of Patent: July 19, 2011
Assignee: Crosstek Capital, LLC
Inventors: Remzi Oten, Jim 

THREE SENSOR CAMERA STRUCTURE

Patent number: 9313393
Abstract: A method includes sampling a first intensity of light with a first array of photo detectors of a digital camera. A second intensity of light is sampled with a second array of photo detectors of the digital camera. A first channel processor coupled to the first array of photo detectors generates a first image using first array data which is representative of the first intensity of light sampled by the first array of photo detectors. A second channel processor coupled to the second array of photo detectors generates a second image using second array data which is representative of the second intensity of light sampled by the second array of photo detectors. The first array of photo detectors, the second array of photo detectors, the first channel processor, and the second channel processor are integrated on or in a semiconductor substrate.
Type: Grant

Speech to International Students

On August 28, 2013, I gave a speech to many brilliant young international students at Calums. Here is the coverage from their student newspaper:



A memorable event took place at the university when Dr. Remzi Öten, founder of the highly successful premium mobile accessory company SENA cases, presented a speech about his career and the basis for his company’s success. When Dr. Oten addressed the audience on August 28, 2013, there were no empty seats in the auditorium. Students had to stand or sit on tables. Over 100 students and faculty listened to this remarkable speech.






During the summer, the Student Service Associates (SSA) team had a goal to invite a guest speaker who had meaningful and motivating message. The event surpassed their expectations. The astonishing success of Dr. Oten and his company was profound to CALUMS’s students. In addition, his background as a former international student made him deeply interesting.

Dr. Oten earned his bachelor’s degree in Turkey and continued his education in the United States, earn- ing M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of California, Irvine, in 1996 and 1999, respectively.

Before Dr, Oten started making history as an entrepreneur, he worked in senior research and consulting positions at several companies. He also worked as a researcher and engineer specializing in image and signal processing. Dr. Oten developed more than 150 novel algorithmsthat are still used in successful commercial products.

As the CEO and President of SENA cases since 2001, Dr. Oten led his company to revenues of more than $20 million and a premium partnership with Apple Computers, Inc. Dr. Oten has more than 10 patents and applications and 13 scholarly published journal and conference papers.

The speech of Dr. Öten was influential with important information about doing business in the United States and the necessary steps to get to the top. Dr. Öten pointed out that taking risks is part of doing business and that unsuccessful decisions shouldn ́t discourage one from continuing to follow their dreams.
