Abstract:
A virtualization apparatus and method for providing a transactional input/output interface to prevent input/output performance from deteriorating are provided. The virtualization apparatus includes hardware, a virtual machine monitor to support a plurality of operating systems to use the hardware, and a transaction device driver that executes transactions for hardware I/O operation and to provide an interface for executing a transaction for input/output operations to/from the hardware.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a device for controlling a mouse pointer, providing a display unit; an image photographing unit for photographing images of a first object and a second object; and a controller for setting a point between the first object and the second object detected from the photographed images as a position of a mouse pointer on the display unit, and when a distance between the first object and the second object is less than a predetermined distance, determining that a user selection instruction for the point has been input. The device detects movement of fingers using differential images according to the movement of the fingers, so that even when a continuously changing surrounding lighting or a user face having the similar color with the finger is included in a background, it is possible to accurately identify the movement of the fingers.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a sense amplifier, a sense amplifier driving signal driver, and a controller. The sense amplifier is configured to sense and amplify a signal of a bit line and a signal of a complementary bit line in response to a sense amplifier driving signal. The sense amplifier driving signal driver includes a first driving signal driver configured to drive via a transmission line the sense amplifier driving signal in response to a first sense amplifier control signal, and a second driving signal driver configured to drive via the transmission line the sense amplifier driving signal in response to a second sense amplifier control signal. The controller activates the first sense amplifier control signal in response to an active command, and toggles the second sense amplifier control signal while the first sense amplifier control signal is activated.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a front suction/discharge type outdoor unit for an air conditioner which can solve problems due to increased capacity and decreased suction air. The front suction/discharge type outdoor unit includes an outdoor unit casing having its one surface externally opened and its other surfaces closed, the inside of which being divided into a suction unit and a discharge unit, a compressor installed in the suction unit of the outdoor unit casing, for compressing a refrigerant gas supplied from an indoor unit through pipe lines, an air-cooled condenser positioned in the suction unit of the outdoor unit casing to face one surface and face two surfaces contacting one surface and being positioned in parallel among the other surfaces, for inducing external air sucked through one surface to gaps from the facing surfaces for heat exchange, and condensing the refrigerant gas from the compressor by external air sucked in the direction of one surface and the facing surfaces, and a cooling fan installed in the discharge unit of the outdoor unit casing, for supplying external air to the air-cooled condenser, and discharging heat exchanged air.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power factor compensation device for a motor driving inverter which can improve a power factor of a voltage and a current inputted to the inverter driving a motor. The present invention detects a zero crossing point of an utility alternating current power, and outputs a driving signal corresponding to a plurality of sine wave form voltage values stored in a memory according to a detection result, when the zero crossing point of the utility alternating current power is detected in a state where the plurality of sine wave form voltage values corresponding to a voltage of the utility alternating current power and frequencies are stored in the memory. A switching transistor is switched according to the driving signal, and the voltage applied to the inverter is switched according to the switching operation, thereby improving the power factor.

Abstract:
A method and a portable terminal for identifying a counterfeit bill. The method includes receiving, by the portable terminal, an image of a bill photographed using visible rays and an image of the bill photographed using infrared rays; determining a denomination of the bill by comparing the image photographed using the visible rays with a denomination database; obtaining correction information for making the image photographed using the visible rays correspond to a corresponding bill image in the denomination database; forming a corrected image by correcting the image photographed using the infrared rays using the correction information; binary-coding the corrected image; and determining whether the bill is counterfeit by comparing the binary-coded corrected image with an image of the corresponding bill pre-stored in a genuine bill database.
