Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for providing Over-The-Air (OTA) service. The system according to the present invention includes a mobile terminal for, when a message is received from an OTA server, dividing OTA data, included in the message, into data segments of a predetermined size depending on a size of the message, and a smart card for receiving each of the data segments, decrypting the data segment using a preset OTA key, and storing the decrypted OTA data in a preset area.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for driving a liquid crystal display device, which can selectively provide a wide viewing angle and a narrow viewing angle and improve the narrow viewing angle characteristics. The driving apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel having quad type unit pixels each including red, green and blue (RGB) sub-pixels and an electrical controlled birefringence (ECB) sub-pixel, a data driver for driving data lines of the liquid crystal panel, a gate driver for driving gate lines of the liquid crystal panel, and a timing controller for generating ECB data based on externally inputted RGB video data such that each of the unit pixels maintains a brightness of a constant level to form a narrow viewing angle, arranging the generated ECB data together with the video data and supplying the arranged data to the data driver.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device capable of controlling a viewing angle is disclosed. The liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal panel configured to include a plurality of quad type pixels each consisted of red, green, blue, and viewing angle control sub-pixels; and a timing controller configured to reply to a viewing angle mode selected by a user and apply red, green, and blue data and any one of a wide viewing angle control data, a first narrow viewing angle control data, and a second narrow viewing angle control data to the liquid crystal panel. As such, the LCD device controls a range of viewing angles, thereby allowing the image to be viewed from every direction or not to be viewed from the left and right directions or the upward diagonal directions in the center of the user. In other words, the LCD device can limit the image display according to the positions of the persons adjacent to the user.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for providing Over-The-Air (OTA) service. The system according to the present invention includes an OTA server for, when OTA data is requested by a mobile terminal, encrypting the requested OTA data using a preset OTA key depending on the type of the requested OTA data, and creating a message for providing the encrypted OTA data; and a message center for receiving the created message, and sending the created message to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A system for managing smart cards is disclosed. A system for managing smart cards, comprises a key management server for managing at least one master key used to grant the right to manage a smart card which operates in conjunction with a mobile terminal, and generates an installation key, used to grant the right to install or store a predetermined applet, based on the master key, and a card management server for receiving the generated installation key, and provides the applet to the mobile terminal based on the installation key in response to a request from the mobile terminal.

Abstract: In a cleaning composition for removing residual impurities from a substrate or an apparatus for forming an integrated circuit, and a method of removing the impurities using the cleaning composition, the cleaning composition includes about 4 to about 50 percent by weight of at least two compounds selected from the group consisting of citric acid, a citrate salt, a fluoride salt, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and ammonium persulfate, and a remainder of water. The cleaning composition may effectively remove residual impurities from the substrate or the apparatus, and may prevent the substrate or the apparatus from being recontaminated by the impurities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a chewing gum composition capable of eliminating nicotine component from the body of a person chewing the chewing gum. Such a chewing gum composition functions to convert the nicotine produced in a human body after smoking to cotinine and to discharge the cotinine into urine. Accordingly, by chewing the chewing gum of the present invention, not only nicotine can be eliminated from the body, but also the incidence of cancer due to nicotine can be largely reduced.
