Abstract:
A method for recognizing a control command and a control device using the same that can efficiently increase the recognition rate for a control command that includes a button input and/or speech input. The method includes receiving information input by a user; extracting a control command, which is mapped to a control object, to which a command focus is set, and the input information, with reference to predetermined reference information if the control object exists; and outputting a control signal according to the extracted control command.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a cathode active material and a secondary battery including the same. Herein, the cathode active material includes (a) a first lithium-containing metal composite oxide and (b) a second lithium-containing metal composite oxide coated on an entire particle surface of the first lithium-containing metal composite oxide, the second lithium-containing metal composite oxide having a higher resistance and a lower potential vs. lithium potential (Li/Li″ 1) than the first lithium-containing metal composite oxide. In the disclosed cathode active material, an entire surface of a first lithium-containing metal composite oxide is coated with a second lithium-containing metal composite oxide having a high resistance value and a low potential vs. lithium potential. Therefore, during an internal short of a secondary battery, it is possible to slow down the moving rate of a large amount of lithium ions and electrons from an anode to a cathode, and thus to prevent heat generation caused by the occurrence of temporary over-current. Also, it is possible to increase the temperature where a cathode active material is decomposed and gas is generated, and to improve thermal stability by inhibiting side reactions of the cathode active material and electrolyte.
Abstract:
Provided are a rolled fingerprint acquisition apparatus and method for automatically detecting the start and end of registration and synthesis to acquire an accurate fingerprint. The rolled fingerprint acquisition apparatus compares at least one of fingerprint characteristic information and the amount of variation between the fingerprint characteristic information to reference fingerprint characteristic information to determine whether to start or end registration and synthesis, wherein the fingerprint characteristic information is information about fingerprints included in rolled fingerprint frames that are sequentially acquired, and registers and synthesizes the rolled fingerprint frames according to the result of the determination.
Abstract:
A light emitting device may include a substrate, an n-type clad layer, an active layer, and a p-type clad layer. A concave-convex pattern having a plurality of grooves and a mesa between each of the plurality of grooves may be formed on the substrate, and a reflective layer may be formed on the surfaces of the plurality of grooves or the mesa between each of the plurality of grooves. Therefore, light generated in the active layer may be reflected by the reflective layer, and extracted to an external location.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an emergency control apparatus, and method which maintains the power flow between a battery and an inverter and the operation state of an electric vehicle in the event of failure of a bidirectional DC-DC converter connected between the battery as a power source and the inverter for operating a drive motor.
Abstract:
A photo retrieval method, system, and medium using multimodal information which prevents a photo of an irrelevant category to be retrieved having a high ranking due to an unfavorable side effect from a query expansion, by reflecting a level of consistency between an object category of a query and a category of a photo retrieved by expansion retrieval using ontology, to a photo retrieval result ranking is provided. The photo retrieval method using the multimodal information includes: assigning an object category with respect to a query; retrieving photos associated with an expanded query term extracted from the query; determining a ranking of the retrieved photo by reflecting the assigned object category; and arranging and displaying the photos in response to the determined ranking.
Abstract:
A drain pump including a case including a mounting bracket; a first connection member mounted to the mounting bracket to be spaced from the cabinet; a second connection member inserted in the first connection member; and a fastening member passed through the cabinet and inserted in the second connection member so that the case is mounted to the cabinet. Since the first connection member is spaced from the cabinet, the second connection member can be prevented from being damaged by vibration of the drain pump.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a washing machine and a method of controlling spin-drying of the washing machine. The method changes the acceleration gradient of the drum passing a resonance point, i.e., the resonance point passing gradient of the drum, when the imbalance of the laundry due to the excessive vibration of the tub is sensed when passing a resonance point region (generally within 100 RPM, approximately 50˜80 RPM, after the entry into the spin-drying cycle) in the spin-drying cycle. Thus the position of the balancer is changed according to the imbalance of the laundry.
Abstract:
A statistical machine translation apparatus and method reflecting linguistic information are provided. In the process of generating a translation model based on statistical information on source language sentences and target language sentences during word alignment, the translation model is generated using word alignment results that are amended based on a bilingual dictionary. Further, instead of using the source language sentence and the target language sentence (i.e., their bilingual corpora) as materials to generate the translation model, it is determined whether or not the morphemes are meaningful content words in the source and target language sentences. Based on the determination, pre-processing is performed on the source language sentence and the target language sentence.
