Abstract:
An apparatus for adjusting the height of a vehicle seat. The apparatus includes an input shaft for inputting a torque by using a lever installed at one side of the seat; an output member connected to a link means to output the torque for adjusting the height of the seat; a clutch drum interposed between the input shaft and the output member on a torque transfer path; a torque transfer unit comprising a plurality of neighboring engagers wherein the engagers disposed at two ends of the torque transfer unit are spaced apart from each other, and wedge-combined between the input shaft and the clutch drum to transfer the torque; and an elastic member for providing an elastic restoration force for moving the torque transfer unit to its initial position. According to the present invention, since a conventional retainer may be omitted, backlash caused by a retaining clearance and an operation clearance may be prevented and thus an operational efficiency may be increased. Also, an inversely input torque applied to an output member may be weakened and thus conventional problems of a reduction in operational efficiency and generation of noise may be solved.

Abstract:
A display apparatus for use in a wireless terminal is provided. A memory stores user interface (UI) data for cases mapped to events occurring in the wireless terminal. A controller collects the events occurring in the wireless terminal. The controller selects at least one executable case for the collected events. The controller selects UI data including a character image for the at least one selected executable case from the memory and outputs the selected UI data. A display unit displays the UI data.
Abstract:
A mobile communication terminal equipped with a Zigbee communication module for transmitting/receiving contents data in a Zigbee Personal Area Network (PAN) and a method for transmitting/receiving data by a mobile communication terminal in a communication system of the Zigbee PAN are provided. The communication system of the Zigbee PAN includes a first terminal equipped with a Zigbee communication module capable of Zigbee communication, for generating contents data for extracting a tag from the generated contents data, generating profile information using the tag, and for broadcasting the profile information and the contents data in the Zigbee PAN, and a second terminal for comparing a tag of the contents data detected from the received profile information with a previously stored tag upon receiving the profile information broadcasted from the first terminal, and then for receiving the contents data if the detected tag of the contents data and the previously stored tag coincide with each other.

The biosensor includes a substrate, an insulating layer, source and drain electrodes formed on the insulating layer, a middle-discontinuous channel provided between the source and drain electrodes, and a detection area on which a detection target material is to be fixed, covering the middle-discontinuous channel.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a photoresist pattern include forming a first photoresist pattern on a substrate and treating the first photoresist pattern with plasma that modifies etching characteristics of the first photoresist pattern. This modification may include making the first photoresist pattern more susceptible to removal during subsequent processing. The plasma-treated first photoresist pattern is covered with a second photoresist layer, which is patterned into a second photoresist pattern that contacts sidewalls of the plasma-treated first photoresist pattern. The plasma-treated first photoresist pattern is selectively removed from the substrate to reveal the remaining second photoresist pattern. The second photoresist pattern is used as an etching mask during the selective etching of a portion of the substrate (e.g., target layer). The use of the second photoresist pattern as an etching mask may yield narrower linewidths in the etched portion of the substrate than are achievable using the first photoresist pattern alone.
