Abstract:
A plasma display panel and driving method thereof. Waveforms for performing a reset operation, an address operation, and a sustain operation are applied to a scan electrode while a sustain electrode is biased with a predetermined voltage, and it is controlled such that the absolute value of a positive voltage of sustain voltage pulses applied to the scan electrode in the sustain period may be greater than the absolute value of a negative voltage thereof. Further, an address electrode is floated when a waveform having a sustain discharge function is applied to the scan electrode, and the voltage at the address electrode is controlled to be increased and decreased according to the voltage at the scan electrode.
Abstract:
Provided is an H.264 Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) decoding method based on an Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP). The H.264 CAVLC decoding method includes determining a plurality of comparison bit strings on the basis of a table of a decoding coefficient, storing lengths of the comparison bit strings in a first register, storing code values of the comparison bit strings in a second register, comparing an input bit stream with the comparison bit strings based on the lengths and code values of the comparison bit strings, and determining value of the decoding coefficient according to a result of comparison between the input bit stream and the comparison bit strings. The method extracts a decoding coefficient using a register in an ASIP without accessing a memory and prevents a reduction in speed caused by memory access, thereby increasing the decoding speed of an H.264 decoder.

Abstract:
A vacuum type pickup apparatus may include an absorption pad having an absorption inlet for contacting and/or picking up an object. A pad holder may be connected to the absorption pad. The pad holder may also have a vacuum line. A separator may be provided in the pad holder for forcibly releasing the object from the absorption inlet of the absorption pad. During the forcible release of the object, the air around the absorption pad may be drawn into the pad holder, thus reducing or preventing the potential contamination by impurities of the object as well as the equipment around the object. Also, an additional vacuum extinguisher may not be required, thus simplifying the structure of the vacuum type pickup apparatus and reducing installation costs. Furthermore, the object may be picked up and released in a relatively expedient, safe, and accurate manner, despite the suction force of the vacuum that may be maintained in the pad holder.
Abstract:
A preparation method of a toner having a micro diameter includes: blending a monomer and a dispersing agent in distilled water to prepare a monomer dispersion; polymerizing the monomer dispersion by adding a first polymerization initiator to about 1% by volume to about 50% by volume of the monomer, to cause a first polymerization; mixing the remaining monomer dispersion with the polymerized solution; and polymerizing the mixed solution by adding a wax emulsion and a second polymerization initiator, to cause a second polymerization. The present invention may be advantageously used for obtaining spherical, uniformly micro sized toner particles through the emulsion polymerization only, without performing the aggregation or melting process.

A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser including an annular upper electrode disposed on a laser light exit surface, wherein an upper electrode aperture is formed therein and a light blocking layer is positioned at the center of the aperture formed in the upper electrode. The light blocking layer partially blocks laser light emitted from the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, providing a difference in reflectance in a transverse direction of the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, facilitating single mode oscillation.
Abstract:
Core-shell latex polymer is produced that includes a crystalline polymer. The core-shell latex polymer includes the crystalline polymer, a base monomer, a dispersing agent, an initiator and distilled water. The crystalline polymer serves as the core of the resulting polymer particle. The core-shell latex polymer including the crystalline polymer having a low melting point is used in a toner. A latex polymer including a releasing agent is easily prepared without using high temperatures or a high speed dispersing device. The crystalline polymer efficiently coagulates with other particles in the toner. In addition, the fixing temperature may be reduced when the toner is used in an image forming device.
