Abstract:
The present invention relates to a high strength polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate fiber produced by a method comprising controlling the stress-strain curve and fine structure of an undrawn yarn such that the drawability of the undrawn yarn in a drawing step is improved. The industrial polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate fiber with high strength according to the present invention shows high strength and low shrinkage, and a treated cord formed from this fiber has improved dimensional stability and high strength, such that it can be advantageously employed as a fibrous reinforcement material of rubber products such as tires.
Abstract:
An underground power cable having an optical fiber sensor for measuring temperature distribution is disclosed. In the power cable, an optical fiber for measuring temperature distribution is received in a stainless steel tube having excellent strength, and this optical tube is interposed between a core and a sheath of the power cable. When arranging the optical tube in the power cable, a supporting material having a relatively low strength than the optical tube is arranged in the cable together in order to prevent the optical fiber from being damaged by external force and prevent the inner insulation layer from being broken down by the optical tube. In addition, a fixing tape for fixing the optical tube in contact with the core may be added to prevent the optical tube from being bent seriously or inclined to one side when the cable is bent.
Abstract:
A multi-chamber system includes an index station at which one or more substrate cassettes are placed, a transfer passageway having one end adjacent the index station, at least one process chamber disposed alongside the transfer passageway, and at least one substrate transfer robot disposed in the transfer passageway for receiving a substrate from the index station and by which the substrate is transferred to each process chamber. The multi-chamber system has a minimal footprint. Furthermore, the system can be easily expanded. In addition, the substrate transfer robot(s) may have a blade including two substrate supports so that the time required for moving a substrate through the system is minimized.
Abstract:
A disk transferring device including a chassis; a moving unit which is tightly in contact with one surface of a disk and rotated by the force of a driving source for thereby moving the disk; a balance guide unit for contacting an inserted disk for thereby precisely inserting the disk; a holder guide unit which interlocks with the balance guide unit and is guided by the balance guide unit for thereby receiving the disk moved by a roller unit and guiding the disk until the disk transfer is finished; a selection guide unit which interlocks with the holder guide unit, is moved by the insertion power of the disk, and is interlocked according to the size of the insertion disk; and a clamping driving unit which is driven for the clamping operation of the disk, being interlocked with the selection guide unit. The holder guide unit or selection guide unit receives the driving force separated from the disk from the driving source when the disk transfer is finished.
Abstract:
In a method for controlling a posture of an articulated object, a user inputs an initial configuration of the object, a base point, an end point, a target point and a method for updating the posture. It is determined whether the number of joints positioned between the base and the end points is larger than or equal to three. If the number is smaller than or equal to two, it is determined whether the method for updating the posture is a two-segment or three-segment based method or another method for moving an intermediate end point. If the method is two-segment or three-segment based, the number is rechecked. If the number is smaller than or equal to two, the posture is modified according to the two-segment or three-segment based method. If the posture satisfies a predetermined condition, it is displayed on a screen.
Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying a digital video signal includes a shade reflection ratio calculator and a brightness compensator. The shade reflection ratio calculator calculates a shade reflection ratio r of each pixel per display clock using a linear distance function between a center pixel and a current pixel on a screen. The brightness compensator compensates brightness of each pixel by applying the shade reflection ratio value r and a brightness adjustment width Yrate to an input digital video signal. Thus, it is possible to improve picture quality of a video displayed on a screen.
