Abstract:
A method for forming a polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor. The method includes the steps of: forming a polycrystalline silicon layer including multiple protrusions by crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer according to a crystallization method in which the multiple protrusions are formed due to collision between crystal grains; patterning the polycrystalline silicon layer in an active pattern which includes only two protrusions of the multiple protrusions, which are apart from each other and located at both sides of a gate electrode-forming area; applying a barrier layer on the patterned polycrystalline silicon layer while partially covering the two protrusions; and forming a source electrode and a drain electrode at the protrusions of the polycrystalline silicon layer formed at both sides of the gate electrode-forming area by ion-implanting dopants into a resultant lamination.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding circuit and a semiconductor integrated circuit including the same are provided. The EMI shielding circuit includes a data level comparison unit, a control signal generation unit, and a driver for EMI cancellation. The data level comparison unit generates a data comparison signal by comparing a number of high-level data transmitted through a plurality of data lines and a number of low-level data transmitted through the plurality of data lines. The control signal generation unit generates a driving control signal in response to the data comparison signal. The driver for EMI cancellation outputs an EMI cancellation signal in response to the driving control signal.

A wireless signal transmitting/receiving apparatus for a semiconductor system is disclosed The apparatus includes a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) circuit and a coupling pad. The SERDES circuit outputs a parallel input signal as a serial signal during transmission, and outputs a serial input signal as a parallel signal during reception. The coupling pad generates an inductively coupled wireless signal according to the serial signal outputted from the SERDES circuit, and provides a signal generated by inductive coupling with an external device as the serial input signal of the SERDES circuit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition for treating bone disease or countering inflammation containing cartilage stem cells as an active ingredient. The present disclosure provides a novel cell treatment regimen for bone disease and inflammatory disease using the cartilage stem cells as an active ingredient. When the cartilage stem cells of the present disclosure are administered into the articular capsule, the administered cartilage stem cells are highly effective in treating bone disease and inflammatory bone disease since they grow or differentiate into chondrocytes and exhibit an anti-inflammatory activity. Since the cartilage stem cells of the present disclosure do not express histocompatibility antigens which give rise to rejection in tissue or organ transplants, autologous cells or exogenous cells can be used during cell transplantation for treatment of bone disease and inflammation.
Abstract:
When a defective pixel causing light leakage is detected in a flat display panel, an optical modulation region is formed in a substrate by emitting a laser beam such that a virtual image is displayed at a position corresponding to the defective pixel. Accordingly, quality of the flat display panel may be improved thereby increasing manufacturing process yield.

Disclosed is a three-dimensional ultrasound image method and apparatus for reducing distortions of ultrasound images by precisely estimating a distance between consecutive two-dimensional frames obtained by a manual scanning. The apparatus comprises a transducer array for transmitting ultrasound signals to a target object and receiving echo signals reflected from the target object; a receive-focusing unit for receive-focusing the echo signals to generate a plurality of consecutive two-dimensional ultrasound image frames; a converter for converting the consecutive two-dimensional ultrasound image frames into a three-dimensional ultrasound image; and a display for displaying the three-dimensional ultrasound image. The method comprises the steps of, a) transmitting and receiving ultrasound signals; b) receive-focusing echo signals to generate a plurality of consecutive two-dimensional ultrasound image frames; c) converting the consecutive two-dimensional ultrasound image frames into a three-dimensional ultrasound image; and d) displaying the three-dimensional ultrasound image.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for forming a polycrystalline (poly-Si) film by the crystallization of an amorphous silicon film using laser light irradiation. The disclosed method comprises the steps of: sequentially depositing a buffer film and an amorphous silicon film on a glass substrate; depositing a metal film having laser light reflection function on the back side of the glass substrate; and irradiating the front side of the amorphous silicon film with laser light to crystallize the amorphous silicon film. In the laser light irradiation step, the irradiated laser light is absorbed into the amorphous silicon film, and a portion of the absorbed laser light is transmitted through the amorphous silicon film. The transmitted light is reflected from the metal film and absorbed into the amorphous silicon film again, thus crystallizing the amorphous silicon film twice over. According to the present invention, the amorphous silicon film is crystallized twice over so that a polycrystalline film having very large grains can be formed.

An address encoding method and an address decoding circuit therefor is disclosed. In the address encoding method, a part of the outputs of address latches are made to designate circuits to be controlled, and the rest of the outputs are made to designate the relevant addresses of the circuits to be controlled. Based on this method, the constitution of the decoding circuit becomes simple.

A Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) service method and system are provided. A beacon message and probe response message may contain a service information field storing device information. Wi-Fi devices can exchange information on supported functions with each other and one Wi-Fi device may identify functions supported by another Wi-Fi device. Hence, a Wi-Fi connection can be set up through automatic provisioning. The method includes receiving, by a first Wi-Fi device in non-Access Point (AP) mode, messages from nearby Wi-Fi devices operating in AP mode, analyzing a service information field of each received message, determining a second Wi-Fi device that is manufactured by the same manufacturer as the first Wi-Fi device and is capable of supporting a requested service, establishing a connection with the second Wi-Fi device through Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) based on automatic provision, and sending data associated with the requested service to the second Wi-Fi device for a Wi-Fi service.
