Abstract: A printed circuit board that can be connected with a pin connector and a method of manufacturing the printed circuit board are provided. Solidified solder can be formed on the tap unit without the need for additional processes, by applying solder printing to the tap unit at the same time it is applied to pads of the printed circuit board and, for example, by performing high temperature reflow. In addition, reliability and reduction in cost of a pin connector can be ensured without using a pin connector into which a high-priced wired solder is inserted. Rather a general pin connector can be used because the pin connector and the tap unit are connected to each other through the solidified solder formed on the tap unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clustering method for rosette scan images, comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a subject image according to its rosette pattern; (b) converting the location information among the data of the subject image and arraying the converted information into a two-dimensional memory; (c) reading the image data arrayed in the two-dimensional memory from the first row and defining a portion of the data with continuous 1's as a partial cluster; (d) storing multiple partial clusters created upon the completion of the step (c) with respect to the said two-dimensional memory to the end; (e) examining the adjacency among the created multiple partial clusters; and (f) binding the adjacent partial clusters detected in the step (e) as an independent cluster.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image indexing and retrieval method using the rosette pattern for the improvement of retrieval efficiency and performance, comprising the steps of: (a) defining a rosette pattern corresponding to the size of a subject image from which information will be extracted; (b) extracting information from the said subject image using the rosette pattern defined in the said step (a); (c) storing the information extracted in the said step (b) into a memory; (d) if a user provides a query image for information retrieval, repeating the said steps (a) and (b) with respect to the said query image; and (e) calculating the similarity between the information stored in the said step (c) and the query image information extracted in the said step (d), and conducting the retrieval using the calculated similarity. The present invention's method has a merit in that image information may be stored and retrieved effectively through the rosette pattern, even with a small number of pixels.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods in which variable delay is provided for channel tracking. In particular, a demodulator having both a hard output (or symbol estimate) and a soft output (or indication of the quality of the symbol estimate) is coupled to a channel tracker. The channel tracker provides a channel estimate used by the demodulator, in part, to correct for fading. The channel tracker updates the channel estimate based on the symbol estimates from the demodulator and the received signal. However, when the soft output indicates a low confidence in the symbol estimate, the symbol estimate is not used to update the channel estimate. This is accomplished by providing a variable delay to the channel estimate calculation performed by the channel tracker depending on the number of consecutive suspect symbol estimates.
