Abstract:
A self-healing passive optical network is disclosed. The network includes a central office and a remote node connected to the central office through a main optical fiber. The remote node transmits one portion of power of the upstream optical signal, which has been input from each of the optical network units, to the central office, and returning a remaining portion of the power of the upstream optical signal to the optical network unit. The network also includes a plurality of optical network units connected to the remote node through a plurality of distribution optical fibers. Each of the optical network units transmits an upstream optical signal to the remote node through the directly connected distribution optical fiber, and detects abnormality occurrences from a state of the upstream optical signal returning from the remote node.
Abstract:
An apparatus for canceling an echo signal in a mobile terminal of a mobile communication system. A double talk detector (DTD) receives a first signal by canceling an estimated echo signal from a signal received through a microphone, outputs the first signal, and outputs the first and a second signal comprising a background noise signal and a residual echo signal during a non-double talk. An Auto-Regressive (AR) analysis and inverse filtering unit receives the second signal from the DTD, and whitens the second signal. A pitch analysis and inverse filtering unit receives the whitened signal, and cancels a pitch value remaining therein by performing pitch analysis and inverse filtering on the whitened signal. A noise canceller receives the pitch-cancelled whitened signal and the first signal output from the DTD, canceling a residual echo signal and a background noise signal from the first signal using the pitch-cancelled whitened signal.
Abstract:
An optical modulator using a dynamic single mode laser diode (DSM-LD) integrated with a deflector is disclosed. The optical modulator for coupling a light beam to an optical fiber, the optical modulator includes: a laser diode for generating the light beam; and a deflector for deflecting a direction of the light beam according to an electric signal externally applied and outputting the defected light beam to the optical fiber, wherein the laser diode and the deflector are integrated with a multi-layer semiconductor structure in such a way that the light beam is modulated by changing a defection angle of the deflector.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing microphone beamforming. The method includes recognizing a speech of a speaker, searching for a previously stored image associated with the speaker, searching for the speaker through a camera based on the image, recognizing a position of the speaker, and performing microphone beamforming according to the position of the speaker.
Abstract:
A menu displaying apparatus and method in a portable terminal are provided. In the menu displaying apparatus, a select image buffer stores select images, and an unselect image buffer stores unselect images. A controller reads a select image for a selected menu from the select image buffer, displays the select image together with a title text of the selected menu at a predetermined position in a menu region, reads unselect menu images for unselected menus from the unselect image buffer, and displays the unselect menu images together with title texts of the unselected menus at predetermined positions in the menu region.
Abstract:
A method and system for wireless charging using a radio wave. The method includes scanning a radio wave of an access point, determining an available charging frequency band among frequency bands, sending the access point a request for transmitting a charging radio wave at the charging frequency band, and switching power output from an antenna, to a battery circuit.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for human activity and facial expression modeling and recognition are based on feature extraction techniques from time sequential images. The human activity modeling includes determining principal components of depth and/or binary shape images of human activities extracted from video clips. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) representations are determined based on the principal components. Features are determined through Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) based on the ICA representations. A codebook is determined using vector quantization. Observation symbol sequences in the video clips are determined. And human activities are learned using the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based on status transition and an observation matrix.
Abstract:
A method is provided for automatically adjusting a size of characters using a camera. The method includes receiving an image with characters; adjusting a focus of the image with characters and detecting a region and a size of characters in the image; determining whether the size of the characters in the image falls within a preset range; recognizing the characters in the image and displaying the recognition results, if the size of characters falls within the preset range; and automatically adjusting a zoom ratio of the image and recognizing the characters in the resized image, if the size of the characters does not fall within the preset range.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method transmit video data in a video device. The apparatus includes a controller and an encoding unit. The controller is configured to control the encoding unit, divide a video data input screen into a plurality of regions, and transmit encoded data on the divided videos to a remote system. The encoding unit is configured to encode the divided videos into video data.
