  • Publication number: 20120263302
    Abstract: A voice transmission apparatus is provided. The voice transmission apparatus includes a voice input unit, an Analog-to-Digital (AD) converter, a transmission synchronization unit, a channel status determination unit, and a transmission unit. The voice input unit receives an analog voice signal corresponding to a communication session. The AD converter converts the analog voice signal into a digital signal. The transmission synchronization unit generates a transmission target signal by respectively assigning a start identifier and an end identifier to the first frame and final frame of the digital signal corresponding to the communication session. The channel status determination unit determines the status of a channel. The transmission unit transmits the transmission target signal over the channel in such a way that the transmission rate of the transmission target signal is set on a communication session basis depending on the status of the channel.

  • Publication number: 20120134164
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a head lamp for vehicles which includes an image providing unit which acquires image information in front of a subject vehicle through a camera module and an information processing unit which detects a position of a vehicle in front of the subject vehicle based on the image information to determine a high beam avoidance area. In particular, a light source unit irradiates a high beam and a low beam in the head lamp based on the driving information acquired. In particular, the high beam avoidance area is represented by an angular range, and is within a range of 90 degrees with respect to a forward direction of the subject vehicle, and the angular range of the high beam avoidance area is determined based on outermost vehicles on left and right sides in the image information.
