  • Publication number: 20140046409
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a light source apparatus for photo-diagnosis and phototherapy. The light source apparatus includes a first light source, a second light source, a light-guide, an interference filter, and a compensation filter. The first light source is non-coherent, and the second light source is coherent. The light-guide delivers light emitted from the first light source and the second light source. The interference filter is disposed on an optical path of the first light source. The compensation filter is disposed between the first light source and the light-guide, and compensates for an output spectrum of the first light source and converts the output spectrum of the first light source into a predetermined reference output spectrum. Here, the light emitted from the second light source is reflected by the interference filter to be incident to the light-guide and the light from the first light source passes through the interference filter at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8593019
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a structure for linear and rotary electric machines. The present invention provides a modular mover structure which includes coils that have an electrical phase difference of 180°, so that the path of magnetic flux is shortened, thus reducing the size of the machine and mitigating the back-EMF unbalance. The modular mover structure can be modified into various shapes. For example, when a skew structure is applied to a mover or stator iron core, the force ripples in an electric machine can be reduced. In addition, when a hinge structure is applied to a modular mover iron core, the mover can move in a linear and curved manner. The structure of the present invention can be applied to a rotary electric machine. In this case, because the number of poles is easily increased, a low speed high torque direct drive type rotary electric machine is realized.

    Abstract: A wireless positioning server using clock offset compensation and a wireless positioning method using the same. The wireless positioning server using clock offset compensation estimates a precise position of a tag requiring position information by effectively predicting information regarding a distance between a beacon for performing positioning and the tag requiring position information. An error in the positioning estimation result due to a clock offset is minimized by measuring a relative clock frequency ratio between beacons and by compensating for clock frequencies of the beacons when a distance between a beacon and a tag is estimated.
