Abstract:
A method is provided for correcting a write defect in a data storage apparatus comprising a storage medium. The method comprises reading information from a track of the storage medium in which a write defect occurs, calculating a number of error-corrected error correction code symbols in sectors of the track based on the read information, determining a number of sectors on which write defect correction is to be performed by comparing the calculated number of error-corrected error correction code symbols with a threshold, and performing a rewrite operation on the track, beginning at a starting sector determined by the number of sectors on which write defect correction is to be performed.
Abstract:
A program-based electronic program guide (EPG) system is provided, the EPG system including a search unit which searches for and finds programs broadcast within a predetermined time period around a predetermined time, a collection unit which collects program information of programs found by the search unit, a classification unit which classifies the program information collected by the collection unit based on program codes, and a display unit which displays program guide information, including the program information classified by the classification unit.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a coating that emits magnetic resonance signals and a method for coating medical devices therewith. The coating includes a paramagnetic metal ion-containing polymer complex that facilitates diagnostic and therapeutic techniques by readily visualizing medical devices coated with the complex. The present invention also provides methods by which pre-existing polymers and medical devices may be made MR-imageable. The invention also provides methods of improving MR-imageability of polymers and medical devices by encapsulating the polymers and medical devices with hydrogels.

Abstract:
A method of detecting defects of a recording medium comprises detecting a number of error-corrected error correction code symbols in each of a plurality of sectors in the recording medium, classifying sectors having a number of error-corrected ECC symbols greater than a first threshold value as first type defect sectors, calculating moving averages of the numbers of error-corrected ECC symbols in units of a predetermined number of sectors, and classifying sectors that are used to calculate a moving average greater than a second threshold value as second type defect sectors.
Abstract:
A semantic client, a semantic information management server, a method of generating semantic information, a method of searching semantic information, and a computer program recording medium for performing the methods, the semantic client including: an identification (ID) generator to generate an ID of a target content; and a descriptor generator to generate a descriptor that defines correlations between the target content and one or more other contents. Furthermore, the semantic information management server includes: a semantic information database (DB) to store a descriptor including information about an ID of contents and correlations among the contents and other contents related to the contents; and an agent to search semantic information of the related contents with reference to the semantic information DB. Therefore, since contents have their own IDs, a user can easily search the contents.

Abstract:
A portable storage device, a system, and a method for an automatic software installation, the portable storage device including: an interface to connect to an external device to transmit and/or to receive data to/from the external device; a memory to store a setup program to install, in the external device, a main software required to connect the portable storage device to the external device; and a controller to control the interface to transmit the setup program to the external device when the interface is connected to the external device, wherein the setup program is transmitted to the external device and automatically run in the external device. Accordingly, when the portable storage device is connected to the external device, the software can be automatically installed by auto-running the setup program internally stored to the portable storage device.

Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically configuring an album includes an album-creating unit to create an album by using a folder name when at least one folder having the folder name is moved to a selected area, a cover-image-registering unit to register a cover image of the album created by the album-creating unit, and a content-registering unit to register content included in the folder to the album.
