Abstract:
A channel allocation method of channels having different transmission speeds in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system is provided. The channel allocation method in a multirate optical transmission system includes selecting a channel having the lowest transmission speed from not allotted channels, allotting the selected channel to the longest wavelength band of empty wavelength bands, and determining whether not allotted channels exist in order to repeatedly perform selecting the channel having the lowest transmission speed from the not allotted channels and allotting the selected channel to the longest wavelength band of the empty wavelength bands, until all the channels are allotted.

The system includes a histogram distribution calculation unit for calculating a histogram distribution of an input signal of a specified unit, a mean calculation unit for calculating a mean level of the input image signal, a slope calculation unit for calculating black and white stretching slopes in association with the mean level, a ratio calculation unit for calculating a ratio of a picture change based on the histogram distribution of the present input image signal and the previous input image signal, a filtering unit for adjusting the black and white stretching slopes corresponding to the ratio of the picture change, and a stretching unit for stretching the input image signal by mapping the adjusted black and white stretching slopes and the input image signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for generating an optical carrier is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a light source generating a pump light; a SBS generator for stimulated Brillouin scattering the pump light to generate a stokes light from the light source; an attenuator for controlling an amplitude of the pump light from the light source to generate an amplitude controlled pump light; and a detector for heterodyne beating the stokes light and the amplitude controlled pump light to generate an optical carrier.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for automatically storing an intrusion scene, and a method for controlling the apparatus using a wireless signal are provided. According to the apparatus and methods, an image is photographed every time a time interval elapses, converted into digital signals and stored. The stored signals are divided into a number of regions. The signals are sampled within each region, and data is extracted. It is determined whether an intrusion has occurred by comparing the extracted image data with image data extracted immediately before. If it is determined that intrusion occurred, scene data corresponding to the image data in which the intrusion is recognized is stored, and notification that an intrusion has occurred is wirelessly transmitted. Functions for these operations are set by a remote controller using keypads. By doing so, if an intruder intrudes into an area, the unmanned monitoring apparatus provides an intrusion alarm and at the same time photographs the intrusion scene. The scene data is important evidence for arresting the intruder and proving the intrusion. Also, the size of the apparatus can be easily reduced for convenient maintenance.
Abstract:
A module IC handler used for testing module Ics is disclosed in which the handler enables loading and unloading operations for module ICs, without further elevating pallet over an installation plate, and provides sequential transferring operations for the pallet on which test or customer tray is placed. To this end, after all module Ics 1 are loaded from the test tray 6 exposed to the loading or unloading position 19 or 26 by the loading and unloading elevator units 18a, 18b, or the test-finished module Ics are filled in the customer tray 17, the pallet 5 is moved to a rotation position 30 by a transfer 31, and then can be circulated to an upper side of the loading or unloading elevation plate 36 by the downer 32.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method for handling a module IC and a carrier of a module IC handler used for transferring the carrier containing a plurality of module ICs between the processes. While a separate carrier containing the produced module ICs is transferred between the processes, the tests for the module ICs are performed. Thus, the reliability of the product discharged can be further improved, and the operation rate of a high-cost test apparatus is maximized. For this, a plurality of module ICs 1 vertically loaded in the carrier are transferred inside a heating chamber 22, the tests for the module ICs 1 are conducted at a test site 7 under the state that the module ICs 1 are contained in the carrier 18, and then at an unloading position 20, the module ICs having been tested are held by pick-up means 8 in an unloading side and classified based upon the test results and the classified module ICs are placed in customer trays 9.
Abstract:
A carrier handling apparatus of an IC module handler includes a carrier transferring unit for holding one side of the carrier to transfer the same between the various processes, and a carrier positioning unit for precisely positioning the carrier. The carrier handling apparatus includes a carrier for transferring predetermined modules, a carrier transferring unit for transferring the carrier from a loading location to an unloading location, and a carrier positioning unit for precisely positioning the carrier in the loading and unloading locations, thereby allowing IC modules contained in a tray to be accurately loaded into the carrier or unloaded therefrom by a pick-up means. According to another aspect of the present invention, a slider is installed to be moved along the traveling path of the carrier, and is provided with a pair of fingers that can be withdrawn or spread by one cylinder, so that the area required to install the carrier transferring apparatus can be minimized. Further, since the carrier is accurately positioned before the pick-up means loads and unloads the IC modules in the loading and unloading locations, any troubles which may be caused due to position inaccuracies during the loading and unloading of the IC modules can be prevented in advance, thereby maximizing the operation rate of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A channel selection method stores broadcast channel numbers for which broadcast signals are input and displays the stored broadcast channel numbers on a screen, thereby facilitating broadcast channel selection. The method comprises the steps of storing the number of a corresponding channel by sequentially scanning broadcast signal channels, displaying the numbers of all the channels scanned in the storage step so as to be able to distinguish the stored channel numbers from unstored channels numbers, and selecting a channel using only a channel number stored in the storage step from among the displayed channel numbers. Accordingly, the broadcast channels can be identified with ease, permitting a desired channel to be easily selected.
