Abstract:
A method and apparatus for driving the data in a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel are presented. The method and apparatus prevent or reduce defects at the boundary between pixel blocks when the pixel blocks are sequentially driven on a block-by-block basis. The method includes applying data signals to a first data block, precharging a second data block that is adjacent to the first data block to a predetermined precharge voltage, and applying data signals to the second data block. The precharging prevents a large voltage difference at the boundary, thereby reducing defects.
Abstract:
A cyclonic cleaner which includes a cyclone unit enabling a reduction of noise generated from the cyclone unit, and reduction in pressure loss by forming a smooth air flow. The cyclone unit includes a body having an air inlet and an air outlet, a primary cyclone to primarily separate foreign matter from air drawn through the air inlet, a plurality of secondary cyclones to secondarily separate foreign matter from air discharged from the primary cyclone and to discharge the air having the foreign matter removed therefrom through discharge holes of the secondary cyclones, and a noise reduction member positioned in the discharge hole of each secondary cyclone to reduce noise. The cyclone unit also includes a guide plate to allow the air discharged through the discharge holes of the secondary cyclones to be smoothly discharged through the air outlet.
Abstract:
A vacuum cleaner has a discharge flow path and a discharged-air filter optimally positioned to reduce noise. The vacuum cleaner includes a body, a dust collection unit positioned in the body to filter foreign matter, a blower fan unit including a blower fan and a motor to generate suction force, an air vent through which air drawn into the body is discharged, and a discharge flow path to guide the air discharged through a discharge port of the blower fan unit to the air vent. The discharge flow path comprises a space defined between the dust collection unit and the blower fan unit.
Abstract:
The present invention is in the fields of molecular and cellular biology. The invention is generally related to reverse transcriptase enzymes and methods for the reverse transcription of nucleic acid molecules, especially messenger RNA molecules. Specifically, the invention relates to reverse transcriptase enzymes which have been mutated or modified to increase thermostability, decrease terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase activity, and/or increase fidelity, and to methods of producing, amplifying or sequencing nucleic acid molecules (particularly cDNA molecules) using these reverse transcriptase enzymes or compositions. The invention also relates to nucleic acid molecules produced by these methods and to the use of such nucleic acid molecules to produce desired polypeptides. The invention also concerns kits comprising such enzymes or compositions.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device is provided. The LCD includes first and second substrates, a gate line formed on the first substrate, a data line formed on the first substrate with the data line intersecting the gate line, a thin film transistor (TFT) formed on the first substrate and connected to the gate line and to the data line, a storage line formed on the substrate which is parallel with the gate line, and a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate and connected to a drain electrode of the TFT. The LCD further includes a black matrix formed on the second substrate, with the black matrix overlapping a channel of the TFT.
Abstract:
A white organic light emitting diode (OLED) includes an emission layer that includes a blue emission layer and an emission layer excluding blue. The emission layer excluding blue includes a phosphorescent material and a mixture of a hole transporting material and electron transporting material.
Abstract:
A method for generating a music file includes receiving a melody from a user through a user interface, and generating a melody file corresponding to the received melody. The method further includes generating a harmony accompaniment file responsive to melody represented by the melody file, and generating a music file by synthesizing the melody file and the harmony accompaniment file.
Abstract:
The present invention provides peptide complexes comprising phospholipase D and one or morephospholipase D-interacting peptides. The peptide complexes are useful in screening assays foridentifying compounds effective in modulating the peptide complexes and in treating and/or preventing diseases associated with phospholipase D and it's interacting partners. In addition, methods for screening modulators of the peptide complexes or interacting members thereof are provided.
