Abstract:
Provided are a system and method for determining a position based on portable Internet in a portable Internet system. The method includes receiving, by the terminal, information on neighbor base stations (BSs) from a main BS, scanning the neighbor BSs while measuring Received Signal Strength Indicators (RSSIs) for the main BS and the neighbor BSs, determining whether the RSSI for the main BS is greater than a preset threshold value, and deciding, as a position of the terminal, a position associated with an IDentification (ID) of the main BS when the RSSI is greater than the threshold value.
Abstract:
A field emission device, a field emission display device, and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The field emission device includes: i) a substrate; ii) an electrode positioned on the substrate; iii) a mask layer positioned on the electrode and including one or more openings; and iv) a plurality of nanostructures positioned on the electrode via the openings and formed to extend radially. The plurality of nanostructures may be applied to emit an electron upon receiving a voltage from the electrode.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases, which comprises a benzazole derivative as an active ingredient. The benzazole derivative has inhibitory activity against DGAT (diacylglycerol acyltransferase), which causes metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes in the process of lipid metabolism. With the ability to effectively control lipid metabolism and energy metabolism, thus, the composition is useful in the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes.
Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device includes page buffers arranged in groups, each group being coupled to a corresponding data output line so that data from more than one of the page buffers in each group may be simultaneously represented on the corresponding data output line during a program verification operation. Page buffers may be arranged in repair units with data from more than one page buffer simultaneously coupled to a data output line during a column scan operation.
Abstract:
An anode plate structure for an electron emission display device may be constructed with a cathode plate being a lower plate and an anode plate being an upper plate. The anode plate is arranged opposite to the cathode plate, with an area that is smaller than the surface area of the cathode plate, and the anode plate is located inside the cathode plate when the display device is viewed in a plan view so that all four-side edges of the cathode plate are exposed. At least one data driving electrode and at least one scan driving electrode may be installed on the cathode plate. One, or more anode voltage applying terminal is applied to the anode plate.
Abstract:
Methods for inhibiting the activity of acyl CoA-cholesterol-o-acyltransferase, inhibiting the accumulation of macrophage-lipid complex on the arterial endothelium, and preventing or treating hepatic diseases in a mammal comprise administering naringin or naringenin thereto.
Abstract:
In contrast enhancement during image processing, a histogram equalization process or apparatus divides an equalization image screen into overlapping windows and performs histogram equalization on each window. Using windows improves contrast of pixel values that are rare throughout the entire image and reduces or prevents loss of information represented by the rare pixel values. Overlapping the windows reduces discontinuities at the boundaries of the windows. The size and overlap of the windows can be adjusted according to the time available for equalization and can be optimized according to the desired image quality improvement. The histogram equalization can be selectively performed on an entire image screen or any part thereof to reduce image degradation in the entire or part of an image. As a further aspect of the invention, to reduce the number of operations required for equalization, a histogram for a current window is obtained starting from the histogram for a previous window. To further improve image quality, a histogram equalization apparatus uses low-pass- or band-pass-filtered pixel data as a lookup table address to output a histogram-equalized value. This helps remove amplified thermal or quantization noise.
Abstract:
