Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for reducing battery consumption of a mobile terminal are provided. More particularly, an apparatus and a method for reducing battery consumption by allowing a mobile terminal to perform a wakeup process by expiration or update of a timer which coincides with a paging period in order to reduce battery consumption. The controller reduces a frequency of waking up from a sleep mode by matching a wakeup time set by a timer to a paging period with a certain condition is met.
Abstract:
There is provided a switching mode power supply having multiple outputs, including: a DC/DC converter converting a DC voltage level according to a change in a load and including a primary coil and a secondary coil; a boost unit boosting an output voltage of the DC/DC converter in a first mode and outputting the boosted output voltage to an output terminal; a bypass unit bypassing the output voltage of the DC/DC converter in a second mode, to output the bypassed voltage to the output terminal; and a boosting controller controlling the boost unit according to a voltage detected at a center tab of the secondary coil of the DC/DC converter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multipurpose exercise apparatus. More specifically, the multipurpose exercise apparatus is configured so that various kinds of exercise can be done by turning a crescent-shaped main body up and down according to the kind of exercise desire by a user, and by stepping on the main body to mount thereon or sitting down thereon, thereby allowing exercise to be enjoyed regardless of place or time and to even be enjoyed outdoors in addition to indoors and the efficiency of exercise can be maximized even with simple exercise movements. The present invention is characterized in that it has a plate shape, and it comprises a main body (100), wherein a convex surface (10) is formed at the upper part, a concave surface (20) is formed at the lower part, a handle groove (12) is provided at both the terminal parts descending along the curvature of the convex surface (10), and a supporting protrusion (22) is integrally projected at the lower part of the handle groove (12) so as to allow the main body to be separated by a certain distance from the ground; and a handle (200) which is installed on one side of the upper convex surface (10) of the main body (100) and can be attached thereto or detached therefrom.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an anti-aging composition for external use on skin, which includes low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of Ulmus davidiana, as active ingredients. The composition including the low-molecular weight hyaluronic acids, high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids and polysaccharides extracted from root bark of Ulmus davidiana, in a predetermined ratio, shows significantly improved skin-moisturizing, skin elasticity-enhancing and inflammation-alleviating effects, as compared to a composition using one of the above alone. Therefore, the composition may be widely used as a pharmaceutical or cosmetic anti-aging composition.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for modulating pitch and identifying gender of a voice signal is provided. The voice modulation apparatus includes an LPC analyzer for obtaining vocal track filter coefficients reflecting characteristics of an input voice signal, a pitch detector for detecting the pitch and the gender of the voice signal, a pitch modulator for modulating the voice signal by applying a predetermined value to a detected value from the pitch detector, and a coder for coding the input signal from to LPC analyzer and to pitch modulator, and for outputting a coded signal.
Abstract:
Provided is a frequency-tunable terahertz light source device. The frequency-tunable terahertz light source device satisfies a Littrow diffraction condition at a wavelength and simultaneously satisfies a Littman-Metcalf diffraction condition at another wavelength using a double diffraction grating having two grating periods. Thus, oscillations simultaneously occur at the two different wavelengths, such that a terahertz wave can be stably generated by beating of the two oscillation wavelengths. In addition, the frequency-tunable terahertz light source device can readily change a frequency up to several terahertz and can be fabricated in a small size.
Abstract:
There are provided a bi-directional transceiver module and a method for driving the same. The bi-directional transceiver module includes a 1.3 μm Distributed Bragg Reflection Laser Diode (DBR LD) including an active layer which performs light-emission in response to a light at 1.3 μm and a DBR mirror formed near the active layer. The DBR mirror is formed to prevent an upstream signal emerging from the 1.3 μm DBR LD from being deleted by a PD. A monitoring PD and a PD for detecting an optical signal are integrated and mounted behind the DBR mirror using a butt-joint method. The 1.3 μm DBR LD, the monitoring PD, and the PD for detecting the optical signal are electrically isolated by insulated areas. To drive the bi-directional transceiver module, a forward bias (+) is applied to a p-electrode formed on the 1.3 μm DBR LD, a backward bias (−) is applied to p-electrodes formed on the monitoring PD and the PD for detecting the optical signal, and a n-electrode as a common electrode is grounded.
