Abstract: A touch sensor may include a substrate and may include electrode units, first demultiplexers, second demultiplexers, and driving pads all located on the substrate. The electrode units each may include a plurality of electrode groups, the electrode groups each including a plurality of touch electrodes. The first demultiplexers each may include a plurality of sub-demultiplexers and each may be electrically connected to a corresponding one of the electrode units. Each of the sub-demultiplexers of a first demultiplexer may be electrically connected to a corresponding one of the electrode groups of a corresponding electrode unit. The second demultiplexers may be connected between the first demultiplexers and the driving pads.

Abstract: A device for preventing a submarine phenomenon in a fold and dive seat for a vehicle includes a seat cushion side frame, a seat back frame fastened to a rear end portion of the seat cushion side frame in a manner that is rotatable backward and forward, a seat cushion main-frame fastened between the seat cushion side frame and the seat back frame in a tiltable manner, and a dive link fastened by a hinge mechanism between a front end portion of the seat cushion main-frame and a front end portion of the seat cushion side frame, in which a stopper link rotatably mounted on the seat cushion side frame is rotated by an inertial force when a head-on collision occurs, and thus holds the dive link in place.

Abstract: A handover method and apparatus in a communication system are provided. A serving Base Station (BS) alternately receives a target BS indicator and a downlink (DL) channel status from a Mobile Station (MS) at intervals of predetermined frames in a BS switching period for handover of the MS. The serving BS determines whether to continue the handover according to a signal received in a frame corresponding to a second reception of the target BS indicator. The method and apparatus provide a detailed definition of operation parameters for a switching time between the serving BS and a target BS.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing quality of service (QoS) of a service flow in a wireless communication system are provided. A method of operating a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system includes receiving QoS policy information of mobile stations (MSs) from a network entity including a policy decision function (PDF) or from neighbor BSs, and storing the QoS policy information; detecting a mobile station attempting connection re-establishment; upon detecting the mobile station attempting connection re-establishment, evaluating a QoS policy of the mobile station; and controlling a state of a service flow generated for the mobile station according to the QoS policy.

Abstract: Digital focusing method and apparatus in an image processing system, for digitally focusing an out-of-focus image, are provided. A defocused image is divided into sub-images of a predetermined size. An edge direction of each of the divided sub-images is estimated. Step responses with respect to the respective edge directions are calculated. A mean step response is obtained by averaging a predetermined number of the step responses. Point Spread Function (PSF) coefficients are obtained using the mean step response. An image blur transfer function is obtained using the PSF coefficients. An image restoration transfer function is obtained using the image blur transfer function. An original in-focused image is obtained by multiplying the image restoration transfer function by the defocused image in a frequency domain. Thus, an image can be restored in real time, and the size and weight of the image processing system can be reduced.
