  • METHOD OF ALLOCATING RADIO RESOURCE IN BROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100208684
    Abstract: A method for allocating resource regions in a wireless access system is provided. This method collectively allocates resources of consecutive frames. Specifically, a message, including allocation information used to collectively and consecutively allocate identical resource regions, is received from a base station and data is transmitted through the allocated resource regions. Unlike the conventional method, a resource region is not allocated in each frame but instead identical resource regions are allocated in multiple frames, thereby reducing MAP overhead in a network.

  • Set up logic for dual interface wireless IP communication device
    Patent number: 7778667
    Abstract: A communication interface device includes a wireless Internet packet (IP) transceiver and a PCMCIA card electrically connected to the transceiver. Also, a universal serial bus (USB) connector is plugged into a hub that holds the PCMCIA card, with a cord extending from the USB connector and terminating in another USB connector. Accordingly, the device can be engaged with the PCMCIA bay of a user terminal or, if a user terminal has no PCMCIA bay, with a USB receptacle of the user terminal, to establish wireless communication. To simplify set-up, a CD containing all operating system versions of PCMCIA and USB drivers is engaged with the user terminal. The terminal's operating system is then automatically determined, and only the drivers associated with that operating system are loaded onto the terminal.

  • Master-slave card system and method for operating the same
    Patent number: 7779186
    Abstract: A master-slave card system includes a master card and a plurality of slave cards connected in serial. The master card sends a command with a station-number information to the slave cards. A selected slave card designated by the station-number information sends back a response message, where the response message includes an initial packet, a plurality of data packets and a CRC check packet. The master card sends a next command to a next slave cards after the master cards identifies a correct initial packet. When the initial packet is not correct, the master card halts sending the next command until the received signal is already stopped for a predetermined silence time. The master card drops all the data packets if the CRC check packet associated with the data packet is not correct.

  • Liquid crystal displayer for preventing the generation of moisture
    Patent number: 7777734
    Abstract: A liquid crystal displayer for preventing the generation of moisture includes a front cover, a touch panel, a nameplate, a partitioning plate and a liquid crystal displayer module. With the partitioning plate dividing a region between the touch panel and the liquid crystal displayer module into a first space and a second space, the first space is smaller, whereas the second space is larger. After the liquid crystal displayer module is supplied with electricity, the hot air staying in the first space is less. Further, the heat-obstructing effect of the partitioning plate causes the hot air not to condense in the second space, and thus it is not easy to generate a temperature difference from the external environment, thereby preventing the generation of mist.
