Abstract:
Disclosed are a method for informing a user of video receiving delay and a broadcast receiving apparatus thereof. The method includes separating a video signal from a received broadcast signal, and decoding and storing the video signal; determining if a video signal corresponding to the first frame of video is completely decoded, after a certain amount of time from the beginning of receiving the broadcast signal; and processing to display information on video receiving delay, if it is determined that the video signal corresponding to the first frame of the video is not completely decoded. When audio is normally output but corresponding video is not output yet at the beginning of receiving music broadcast, a user will be informed of the video receiving delay. Accordingly, the user can recognize that video will be output soon and will not think that the broadcast receiving apparatus is malfunctioning.
Abstract:
A fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit and a method for adjusting the width of a fly-back pulse which are applied to a video signal processing unit realized as one chip are provided. The fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit is built into a video signal processing unit including a video amplifier, an on screen display unit, and a horizontal/vertical synchronous signal processing unit within the video signal processing unit realized as one chip. Moreover the fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit includes a pulse shaping unit which shapes the fly-back pulse received from the outside via an input terminal and then applies the shaped fly-back pulse to the horizontal/vertical synchronous signal processing unit, and a pulse-width adjustment unit which adjusts the width of the shaped fly-back pulse in response to a predetermined control signal, generates the horizontal blank signal having a different occurrence time from the result of the adjustment in response to a selection signal, and applies the horizontal blank signal to the video amplifier and the on screen display unit. The fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit which is provided as external components of a chip is designed to have a simple structure, and consequently it is possible to build the fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit into a video signal processing unit realized as one chip. Moreover, the width of a fly-back pulse can be adjusted by control of a microcontroller or a microcomputer, thereby applying the fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit to various monitors. In addition, the fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit can input the fly-back pulse via one terminal without an external circuit. Therefore it is easy to manufacture a printed circuit substrate with use of the fly-back pulse width adjustment circuit.

The GaN-based semiconductor device may include a heterostructure field effect transistor (HFET) or a Schottky diode, arranged on a heat dissipation substrate. The HFET device may include a GaN-based multi-layer having a recess region; a gate arranged in the recess region; and a source and a drain that are arranged on portions of the GaN-based multi-layer at two opposite sides of the gate (or the recess region). The gate, the source, and the drain may be attached to the heat dissipation substrate. The recess region may have a double recess structure. While such a GaN-based semiconductor device is being manufactured, a wafer bonding process and a laser lift-off process may be used.

A network device and a method for controlling the same. The device and method each performed the operations of transforming an input signal so as to allow the input signal to be divided according to frequency bands and resolutions, comparing the transformed input signal with abnormal signal information stored in an abnormal signal database (DB), and determining whether the input signal is a normal signal. When the input signal is a normal signal, the network and method each perform the operation of delivering the transformed input signal to a codec.

A fixing unit fixing an image on a paper and an image-forming apparatus having the same are provided. The fixing unit includes a heat roller, pressure rollers, a bracket, springs, and a paper guide. The heat roller has a heat source therein and the pressure rollers face the heat roller to form fixing nips. The bracket rotatably supports the pressure rollers and is also adapted to pivot. The springs elastically pressurize the bracket to closely attach the pressure rollers on the heat roller and the paper guide guides a paper so that a paper jam may not occur between the pressure rollers.
Abstract:
A phase locked loop (PLL) having an improved phase unlock detection function generates a clock pulse signal at a frequency from a synchronization signal of a cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor and includes a phase frequency detector (PFD), a charge pump, a loop filter, a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), a divider, a phase unlock detection circuit, a phase lock/unlock detection circuit, and an output circuit. The phase unlock detection circuit detects an initial generation of a phase unlock from the up or down signal, outputs a first detection signal, and outputs an internal control signal according to the up or down signal. The phase lock/unlock detection circuit outputs a second detection signal, in response to the internal control signal and the first detection signal. The output circuit performs a logic operation on the first detection signal and the second detection signal and outputs a third detection signal.

The comparing unit compares temperature data output from the temperature sensor to temperature section data stored in the temperature section register and outputs comparison data having predetermined bits. The voltage controller selects voltage data corresponding to the comparison data from the voltage data stored in the voltage register and outputs a voltage control signal corresponding to the selected voltage data. The driver outputs a driving voltage corresponding to the voltage control signal to the display panel from among the different driving voltages.
