Abstract:
There are provided a high-voltage transistor and a method of forming the same. A channel region of the high-voltage transistor includes a first region and a second region. The first region has high impurity concentration that is higher than that of the second region. In addition, the first region may be in contact with the isolation layer. Thus, it is possible to enhance leakage current characteristics of the high-voltage transistor.
Abstract:
An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery is provided. The electrolyte includes a lithium salt, a non-aqueous organic solvent, and a compound represented by Formula (1): wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, and aryl groups. The compound of the present invention is decomposed earlier than an electrolytic organic solvent, and an organic SEI film is formed on a negative electrode, thereby inhibiting the electrolytic organic solvent from decomposing.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a counterflow type filter trap system for filtering particulate matters from engine exhaust gases. A controller for receiving and sending information signals, is included. A metal fiber filter for capturing particulate matters included in the engine exhaust gases is provided. A back pressure sensor for sensing pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the metal fiber filter, is formed. A compressed air supplying portion is formed for injecting a compressed air in the opposite direction to the flow of the exhaust gases to separate the captured particulate matters from the metal fiber filter. A particulate matters collecting box for collecting the separated particulate matters and a guiding valve for guiding the separated particulate matters are provided. The life of the filter is lengthened and the apparatus has a simple structure. The filtering efficiency of the exhausted fumes is very high.
Abstract:
A method and system are provided for automatic wireless connection to a digital device in a portable terminal, wherein information about the portable terminal is acquired. The information about the portable terminal is commonly used for automatic wireless connection to the digital device. A state of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is checked and activated, and the WLAN is set to an Ad-hoc mode. A Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the WLAN is set using the acquired portable terminal information, a security key of the WLAN is set using the acquired portable terminal information, and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the WLAN is automatically set using the acquired portable terminal information.
Abstract:
A shoe insole sensor includes a body including a plurality of recessed regions formed at respective locations corresponding to vertexes of N-polygon, where N is an even number, a plurality of first protrusions formed in odd recessed regions of the recessed regions, where each of the first protrusions has a first height, and a plurality of second protrusions formed in even recessed regions of the recessed regions, where each of the second protrusions has a second height different from the first height. Here, the body is formed with a nonconductive material, each of the first protrusions is formed with a conductive material, and each of the second protrusions is formed with a conductive material.
Abstract:
A method includes providing a plurality of active regions on a substrate, and at least a first device isolation layer between two of the plurality of active regions, wherein the plurality of active regions extend in a first direction; providing a gate layer extending in a second direction, the gate layer forming a plurality of gate lines including a first gate line and a second gate line extending in a straight line with respect to each other and having a space therebetween, each of the first gate line and second gate line crossing at least one of the active regions, providing an insulation layer covering the first device isolation layer and covering the active region around each of the first and second gate lines; and providing an inter-gate insulation region in the space between the first gate line and the second gate line.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method detect and connect a counterpart device by capturing an image of the counterpart device in a wireless device. A Relative Distance Value (RDV) between the wireless device and the counterpart device is determined via image capture using a camera. The counterpart device is identified using the determined RDV.
