Abstract:
Disclosed are a method of recognizing a translation situation and performing a translation function, and an electronic device implementing the same. The electronic device recognizes a situation involving translation and automatically performs a translation function, thereby improving user convenience. An electronic device includes an audio module configured to receive and output audio signal, and a processor.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device may include forming a hardmask layer on gate lines and intergate insulating portions alternately arranged; respectively forming mandrel lines on regions of the hardmask layer, corresponding to every other one of the intergate insulating portions; conformally forming a spacer material layer, having a thickness corresponding to a width of the gate lines, on the hardmask layer; forming a mandrel material layer on the spacer material layer; removing a portion of the mandrel material layer to expose portions of the spacer material layer on an upper surface and a side surface of the mandrel line; removing the exposed portions of the spacer material layer to provide the mandrel lines and stacked mandrel patterns; and forming an opening in the hardmask layer, which exposes a gate-cut region of the gate lines, using the mandrel lines and the stacked mandrel patterns as a mask.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for pairing terminals using a sound wave. A sound wave is transmitted from a first terminal to a second terminal and a response is sent by the second terminal and detected by the first terminal. The first terminal and the second terminal are paired based at least partially on the sound wave signal and the response signal.
