Abstract:
Disclosed is a device and method of providing a driver with eco-driving information. More specifically, the disclosed method and device induces a driver to operate a vehicle in an eco-friendly manner by computing for and displaying to the driver a fuel efficiency oriented vehicle speed that maximizes the vehicle's driving distance based on the vehicle's current weight and electrical load.
Abstract:
An optical device and method are provided including a spindle motor mounted in a turn table on which an optical disk is attached and detached. The optical device includes a bracket secured with a stator of the spindle motor. The optical device also includes a tray body directly connected to the bracket. A skew angle of the spindle motor is adjusted while the bracket is assembled to the tray body, and an adjusting method of the optical device.
Abstract:
The present invention allows a man to recognize a location of a sound source in a three-dimensional space using two ears and applies a method of separating a sound source in a certain orientation to improve the performance of an application technology using a speech in a noisy environment. The present invention acquires a speech signal using two sensors and determines an orientation angle of a sound source in a zero-crossing point step with respect to a frequency separated signal with a band pass filter bank. An object of the present invention is to obtain excellent sound source orientation detection and division performance which is difficult to be obtained in an existing crossing correlation method calculated in units of time frames in a noisy environment with a plurality of sound sources.
Abstract:
Provided is a portable terminal including a battery opening extending in a longitudinal direction or a widthwise direction of the portable terminal on a rear surface of the portable terminal, a battery pack inserted into the battery opening in the longitudinal direction or the widthwise direction of the portable terminal, and an antenna module pivotably coupled to the rear surface of the portable terminal to open or close the battery opening. The built-in antenna module can pivot, such that the battery pack can be inserted or ejected in the longitudinal direction or the widthwise direction of the portable terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a laundry machine for washing laundry, including a tub for holding washing water, the tub including at least one fastening means for fastening and wiring a wire harness along an outside surface thereof, a drum in the tub for holding laundry, a rotation shaft connected to a rear surface of the drum, a tubback which forms a rear side of the tub and through which the rotation shaft passes, a bearing housing for supporting the rotation shaft, a rear gasket connected between the tub and the tubback, and a suspension unit for supporting the bearing housing.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for adjusting the friendliness of a synthesized speech and thus generating synthesized speech of various styles in a speech synthesis system are provided. The method includes the steps of defining at least two friendliness levels; storing recorded speech data of sentences, the sentences being made up according to each of the friendliness levels; extracting at least one of prosodic characteristics for each of the friendliness levels from the recorded speech data, said prosodic characteristics including at least one of a sentence-final intonation type, boundary intonation types of intonation phrases in the sentence, and an average value of F0 of the sentence, with respect to the recorded speech data; and generating a prosodic model for each of the friendliness levels by statistically modeling the at least one of the prosodic characteristics.
