    摘要: The present invention relates to a single photon detector (SPD) at telecom wavelength of 1.55 μm based on InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode (APD). In order to operate the SPD at a low after-pulse noise, a DC bias voltage lower than the breakdown voltage is applied to an InGaAs/InP APD. A bipolar rectangular gating signal is superimposed with the DC bias voltage and applied to the APD so as to exceed the breakdown voltage during the gate-on time of each period of the gate signal. The use of the bipolar rectangular gating signal enabling us to operate the APD well below the breakdown voltage during the gate-off time, thereby make the release of the trapped charge carriers faster and then reduces the after-pulse noise. As a result, it permits to increase the repetition rate of the SPD.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for detecting a vehicle location in a navigation system are provided. A travel angle difference and lateral and longitudinal inclinations of the vehicle are used to accurately detect the vehicle location if a vehicle location is estimated using detection signals from a sensor unit installed on a vehicle. If a value of DOP (Dilution of Positioning) of a navigation message received by a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, reference vehicle location information is set using vehicle location information just previously map-matched and the detection signals from the sensor unit. The vehicle location is detected using the set reference vehicle location information and the detection signals from the sensor unit.

    摘要: A method for controlling a robot cleaner includes: detecting a cleaning target space, setting a cleaning region within the detected cleaning space and cleaning the set cleaning region; if the set cleaning region is completely cleaned, moving to a not-yet-cleaned region adjacent to a cleaning completion spot of the cleaning region; and setting a new cleaning region in the not-yet-cleaned region and performing cleaning. Without repeating a cleaning region in the cleaning target space, the robot cleaner can extend its cleaning region, so the cleaning efficiency of the robot cleaner can be improved. Also, the robot cleaner can be smoothly enter a new cleaning target space or released therefrom. In particular, even when the entrance of the new cleaning target space is narrow, the robot cleaner can smoothly enter the new cleaning target space and gets out thereof.
