  • Patent number: 8058127
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power semiconductor device, in particular, a trench type power semiconductor device for use in power electronic devices. A method of manufacturing the same is provided. The method of manufacturing the power semiconductor device adopts a trench MOSFET to decrease the size of the device, in place of a vertical type DMOSFET, under a situation in which the cost must be lowered owing to excessive cost competition. As the manufacturing process is simplified and the characteristics are improved, the cost is reduced, resulting in mass production and the creation of profit.

  • Patent number: 7962443
    Abstract: A method and system for replacing data in a design template. An end-user may provide a dynamic, structured client data set to be adapted to a predetermined, structured design template (e.g., a map or report). A repository of design templates may be searched to discover a list of candidate templates that may be capable of matching the client data. The end-user may select a design template that may be capable of showing the client data. The server may match the client data to a data structure for a candidate design template by using a data replacement approach, such as a column/alias approach. The end-user may potentially enlarge the matching set by providing information to help the matching algorithm; for example, providing column aliases where the matching algorithm may match template data column and column alias names with those specified for the client dataset.

  • Patent number: 7946122
    Abstract: The present invention provides an air cooling device of an integrated thermo-hygrostat, which is advantageous over known integrated thermo-hygrostats in that it is possible to prevent indoor air from being mixed with cold outdoor air when cooling an indoor space using the cold outdoor air in winter by installing an indoor air control damper which can control the flow of the indoor air in front of an evaporator installed in an inner portion of a main body. The air cooling device can rapidly lower the temperature of the indoor space to the intended temperature, increase cooling efficiency, and prevent power from being unnecessarily consumed by being capable of suspending the cooling function thereof when cooling is performed using outdoor air having a temperature below a predetermined temperature.
