Abstract:
A depth information measuring method and apparatus for a three-dimensional (3D) camera may output, to an object, an optical pulse of which an intensity is higher than an intensity of an ambient light. The depth information measuring method and apparatus may generate a voltage that is proportional to a log value of an intensity of a light reflected from the object. The depth information measuring method and apparatus may use discharging units, and the discharging units may respectively include dischargers having different discharging speeds or capacitors having different capacities.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving a spike event in a neuromorphic chip. A transmission apparatus of the neuromorphic chip outputs addresses sequentially and repeatedly to an address bus, and when a spike generated by a neuron is detected by the transmission apparatus, outputs a strobe at a first time when one of the addresses being output sequentially and repeatedly becomes identical to an address of the neuron that generated the spike. A receiving apparatus of the neuromorphic chip inputs an address through the address bus at a strobe detection time when the strobe is detected by the receiving apparatus.

According to an aspect, a motion recognizing apparatus may include: an optical sensor configured to sense at least a portion of a subject where a motion occurs and to output one or more events in response thereto; a motion tracing unit configured to trace a motion locus of the portion where the motion occurs based on the one or more outputted events; and a motion pattern determining unit configured to determine a motion pattern of the portion where the motion occurs based on the traced motion locus.
Abstract:
A preparation method of a CIS-based or CIGS-based thin film for a light absorption layer of a solar cell, which uses a paste prepared by mixing precursors of Cu, In, Se, and optional Ga in a solvent, minimizes the raw material loss, does not produce a toxic gas during the process, and is suitable for producing a large scale film at a low production cost.
Abstract:
Provided is a network synchronization method and apparatus for performing a time synchronization between nodes. When a system starts up and the time synchronization between the nodes is initiated, the network synchronization method and apparatus may enhance jitter, wander, and a time synchronization performance by gradually increasing a window size for a propagation time measurement. When a full window of propagation time measurements is collected, the network synchronization method and apparatus may enhance jitter, wander, and the time synchronization performance by applying an exponential to a computation of an average propagation time value.
