Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) and method for controlling the UE are provided. The UE includes a memory configured to store network identification information, the network identification information including information about a Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to a type of a network; and a communication device comprising a transceiver, and a processor configured to control the transceiver, in response to a network reselection event while the UE is connected to a first network, to connect the UE to a second network based on the network identification information.
Abstract:
A vehicle door locking system, in which a push lock function is added to the door lock release lever of an existing vehicle, integrates a lock release function and a safety lock function into a single integrated lever to thereby permit the number of parts and the cost of production to be reduced. To this end, the vehicle door locking system includes a door latch assembly installed on one side of a door, an integrated lever operating the door latch assembly, and a cable connecting the integrated lever with the door latch assembly. The door is put in an open state when the integrated lever is pulled, an unlocked state when the integrated lever is in a neutral state, and a safety locked state when the integrated lever is pushed.
Abstract:
An image reading device having an improved shading compensation capability and a method thereof are disclosed. The image reading device includes an automatic document feed unit to deliver documents along a document delivery path. A light source unit including a light source to illuminate a first criterion image at a first position within the image reading device, and to illuminate the documents delivered by the automatic document feed unit at a second position. The image reading device further includes a second criterion image arranged to opposingly face the light source unit when the light source unit is located at the second position. The second criterion image extends along a sufficient length to cover the scanning range of the light illumination by the light source unit along a main scanning direction. An image acquisition unit is provided to acquire criterion shading data, auxiliary shading data and image data by receiving light reflected from the first criterion image, the second criterion image and the documents, respectively. A control unit is able to update the criterion shading data using the auxiliary shading data, and to use the updated criterion shading data to compensate the image data.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus and a control method thereof are disclosed. The disclosed image forming apparatus includes a white reference sheet provided at one side of a flat bed, for scanning an object, an image sensor module including an image sensor to detect light reflected from the white reference sheet in a scanning operation for the white reference sheet and light reflected from an image on the object in a scanning operation for the object, and to output analog image signals respectively corresponding to the reflected lights, an analog front end (AFE) to convert each analog image signal output from the image sensor to a digital image signal, a shading memory to store shading data obtained in the scanning operation for the white reference sheet, and a controller to calculate differences among outputs from R, G, and B channels of the image sensor, using the stored shading data, to correct the stored shading data, based on the calculated output differences, and to correct image data outputs generated from the R, G, and B channels in the scanning operation for the object, based on the calculated output differences. The image forming apparatus can correct different physical offset values possibly present at different color channels in a color scanning operation. Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the color balance of a scanned image, and thus to achieve an enhancement in the color quality of the image.
