Abstract: In a gate driving circuit and a display apparatus having the gate driving circuit, a pull-up transistor of a present stage among plural stages, which are connected one after another to each other and sequentially output a gate signal, pulls up a present gate signal output through an output terminal to a gate-on voltage. A buffer transistor is connected to a control terminal of the pull-up transistor to receive a previous output signal from a previous stage and to turn on the pull-up transistor. The buffer transistor has a chargeability that is about two times or greater than the chargeability of the pull-up transistor. Thus, the size of the pull-up transistor may be reduced, thereby preventing a malfunction of the gate driving circuit when the gate driving circuit is operated under conditions of high temperature or low temperature.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methodologies for combining policy analysis and static analysis of code and thereafter determining whether the permissions granted by the policy to the code and to the subjects executing it are appropriate. In particular, this involves the verification that too many permissions have not been granted (wherein this would be a violation of the Principle of Least Privilege), and that the permissions being granted are sufficient to execute the code without run-time authorization failures, thus resulting in the failure of the program to execute.
