Abstract:
A method and apparatus for using header information of stereoscopic image data is provided. The method includes using three-dimensional reproduction period information related to three-dimensionally reproduced stereoscopic image data of image data recorded in a payload region of the stereoscopic image bitstream, in a header region of the stereoscopic image bitstream; recording camera information related to cameras used for obtaining a stereoscopic image, in the header region; recording parallax information between base and additional images of the stereoscopic image in the header region; and recording the image data in the payload region of the stereoscopic image bitstream.
Abstract:
An Ethernet device having multiple lanes and a method of operating the lanes are provided. In one general aspect, it is possible to allocate a dummy block to each of one or more lanes such that the lanes do not selectively participate in communications. In addition, on a receiving side, the dummy block can be removed from among the genuine data blocks to enable data to be decoded. In this case, an Ethernet device on a transmission side and an Ethernet device on a receiving side can exchange information of a lane to which the dummy block is allocated by use of a lane status message, and the lane status message may be based on a link fault message specified by Ethernet standards.
Abstract:
A gigabit passive optical network (GPON) system for fiber to the home (FTTH) service must provide a down-stream data rate of an optical band to provide IPTV service with hundreds of channels to subscribers, and must be able to provide an upstream data rate of an optical band using a currently available BM-IC chip. A currently available BM-IC chip for a GPON has 1.244 Gbps and 2.488 Gbps modes. Accordingly, an optical network terminal (ONT) for a GPON that is capable of providing a downstream transmission band of 10-Gbps and an upstream transmission band of 1.244 Gbps or 2.488 Gbps, and a method for processing an upstream frame in the terminal, are provided. The GPON ONT can provide 20 Mbps, high-definition IPTV service with 500 channels and can provide both upstream data rates of 1.244 Gbps and 2.488 Gbps according to a user's selection without using an additional device.
Abstract:
A self-aligned 1 bit silicon oxide nitride oxide silicon (SONOS) cell and a method of fabricating the same has high uniformity between adjacent SONOS cells, since the lengths of nitride layers do not vary due to misalignment when etching word lines of the 1 bit SONOS cells. An insulating layer pattern that forms a sidewall of a word line is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a word line for a gate is formed on the sidewall thereof. Etching an ONO layer using a self-aligned etching spacer provides uniform adjacent SONOS cells.

The home network system includes: at least one electric device; first and second networks based on a predetermined living network control protocol (LnCP); an LnCP access device connected to the electric device through the second network; and a network manager connected to the LnCP access device through the first network, for controlling and monitoring the electric device.
Abstract:
A split gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device and a method of fabricating a split gate type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device are provided. A gate insulating layer and a floating-gate conductive layer are formed on a semiconductor substrate. A mask layer pattern is formed on the floating-gate conductive layer to define a first opening extending in a first direction. First sacrificial spacers having a predetermined width are formed on both sidewalls corresponding to the mask layer pattern. An inter-gate insulating layer is formed on the floating-gate conductive layer. The first sacrificial spacers are removed, and the floating-gate conductive layer is etched until the gate insulating layer is exposed. A tunneling insulating layer is formed on an exposed portion of the floating-gate conductive layer. A control-gate conductive layer is formed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate. Second sacrificial spacers having predetermined widths are formed on the control-gate conductive layer. A split control gate is formed in the first opening, by etching the exposed control-gate conductive layer. The remaining mask layer pattern and inter-gate insulating layer are etched until the floating-gate conductive layer is exposed. The exposed floating-gate conductive layer is etched to form a split floating gate in the first opening.
