Abstract:
Processing an adaptive interrupt includes selectively setting an input/output (I/O) device in a computing system to an adaptive masking mode when at least one factor value of the at least one I/O device regarding a workload of the computing system exceeds a first threshold condition. Processing the adaptive interrupt further includes performing an interrupt masking process, where an interrupts generated by an I/O device set to the adaptive masking mode are prevented from being output when a time interval between I/O submission events of the I/O device is less than a first threshold value. The adaptive interrupt may be processed by an adaptive interrupt processing module (AIPM). The AIPM may be included in various portions of the computing system, including the I/O device and a host connected to the I/O device.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a driving method of an electrophoretic display. The driving method of the electrophoretic display includes displaying a first gray at a first pixel and a second pixel, where a target gray of the first pixel is the first gray and a target gray of the second pixel is a second gray, and changing the second pixel from the first gray to the second gray.
Abstract:
A distributed storage management apparatus includes a monitoring unit configured to monitor a request pattern of each storage node of a plurality of storage nodes configured to distributively store data and at least one replica of the data; a group setting unit configured to receive a request and classify the plurality of storage nodes into a safe group and an unsafe group based on the monitored request pattern of each storage node; and a request transfer unit configured to transfer the received request to the safe group.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of an electrophoretic display apparatus and an operating method thereof. According to one or more embodiments, an update voltage compensating for the degradation of an image is applied to a related pixel after a predetermined time interval elapses, when a plurality of images are consecutively displayed on one screen. Thus, the update voltage may be prevented from being applied to the pixel before the image degradation occurs, thereby preventing the pixel from being over-charged.
Abstract:
An apparatus for driving an electrophoretic display comprising a data driver applying data voltages to a plurality of pixels where electrophoretic particles are respectively disposed includes a memory storing gray information, level information of data voltages, and application time information of the data voltage, and a signal controller, wherein the signal controller reads the gray information, the level information of the data voltage and the application time information of the data voltage stored in the memory to apply an output image signal to the data driver, again stores the updated application time information of the data voltage to the memory by counting the application time information of the data voltage, compares the gray information stored in the memory with the gray information newly input from the external device, and when the gray information stored in the memory and the gray information newly input are different from each other, again stores the level information of the data voltage and the application time information of the data voltage that are newly updated in the memory based on the gray information that is newly input.
Abstract:
An electrophoretic display (“EPD”) includes a display panel displaying an image and a gray-scale generator generating a gray-scale and providing a gray-scale voltage to the display panel. The gray-scale generator generates a gray-scale value of a white color using gray-scale values of red, green and blue colors and a brightness ratio between the red, green and blue colors. When a pure color is displayed, the EPD prevents the gray-scale of the white color from being fixed to 0. Thus, the EPD may enhance a chroma of the pure color and color brightness, thereby improving a display quality thereof.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for constructing and operating a cyber-conference in cyberspace are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: accessing a cyber-conference operating web site provided on cyberspace; applying for registration to a cyber-conference operation server; approving the registration based on data stored on a database; and creating a cyber-conference in the cyberspace. The apparatus, which is connected to a user client and a conference client through a communication network, comprises a storage unit for storing a program, embodied on a computer-readable medium, capable of constructing and operating the cyber-conference; a database storing data related to the cyber-conference; and a server connected to the storage unit and the database.
Abstract:
A golf ball and golf tee can be positioned on a ball—driving area of a golf course, using a manual implement for adjusting the distance from the ball to the ground surface. The implement includes a spherical seat for the golf ball and a grooved lower section for locating the golf tee in alignment with the ball. An adjustable stop on the lower section of the implement limits the penetration of the tee into the earth surface.
