Abstract:
A two-way key of a portable terminal is provided. The two-way terminal includes a fixed member mounted on the portable terminal, a driving member rotatably assembled with the fixed member, and an operating member pivotably assembled with the fixed member, wherein, as the driving member rotates, the driving member comes into contact with the operating member and causes the operating member to pivot. The two-way key as configured above can construct a key capable of operating in two ways while taking a small space so that it contributes to the compact size of the terminal. Further, if the two-way key is employed in the watch-type portable terminal, the operating scheme is identical to that of a spring of a common analog wrist watch or a time control lever, so that it is familiar to a user and thus it is convenient for a user to use.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a dense thin film, a fuel cell using the same and fabrication methods thereof. A method for fabricating a dense thin film comprises (1) forming a first thin film on a porous surface, and (2) forming, on a surface of the first thin film, a second thin film made of a homogeneous material with respect to the first thin film, thereby removing pinholes of the first thin film. The method for fabricating a dense thin film may comprise (1′) forming a first thin film on a porous surface, (2′) forming, on a surface of the first thin film, a second thin film made of a to heterogeneous material with respect to the first thin film, thereby removing pinholes of the first thin film, and (3′) etching a surface of the second thin film. A dense thin film comprises a porous material, a first thin film formed on a surface of the porous material and having pinholes, a blocking material including a homogeneous or heterogeneous material with respect to the first thin film and configured to block the pinholes, and a second thin film including a homogeneous or heterogeneous material with respect to the first thin film and formed on a surface of the first thin film.
Abstract:
A voltage generating circuit includes a first storage unit, a second storage unit, and a voltage generator. The first storage unit stores first voltage data, and the second storage unit stores second voltage data. The voltage generator generates a voltage corresponding to one of the first and the second voltage data according to whether the second voltage data is changed from the first voltage data.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for automatically recognizing a device of a building management system which is capable of automatically recognizing a device when the device is connected to or removed from a certain communication port that is built into a BACnet gateway of a building management system, thereby providing convenience to a user and an installer and increasing operational efficiency of the building management system.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a building management system which includes a BACnet gateway including a protocol converter which receives data in a remote communication protocol format and converts the data according to a BACnet communication protocol, a central controller which connects to the BACnet gateway and controls a sub-system of a building, and a watt-hour meter which measures a wattage of the sub-system and transmits wattage data to the protocol converter using the remote communication protocol format.
