Abstract: A method of coding a moving picture is provided that reduces blocking artifacts. The method can include defining a plurality of defining pixels S0, S1, and S2, which are centered around a block boundary. If a default mode is selected then frequency information of the surroundings of the block boundary is obtained. A magnitude of a discontinuous component in a frequency domain belonging to the block boundary is adjusted based on a magnitude of a corresponding discontinuous component selected from a pixel contained entirely within a block adjacent the block boundary. The frequency domain adjustment is then applied to a spatial domain. Or, a DC offset mode can be selected to reduce blocking artifacts in smooth regions where there is little motion.

Abstract: An RF switch is disclosed. Power of an amplifier installed in an RF switch of a TV receiver is adjusted by using a Schmitt trigger circuit. If an output voltage of an RF automatic gain controller of a tuner is greater than a pre-set upper limit threshold value, the amplifier is turned on, whereas if an output voltage of an RF automatic gain controller of a tuner is smaller than a pre-set lower limit threshold value, the amplifier is turned off. Thus, a signal distortion phenomenon that may occur when an infinitesimal signal, a strong signal and several signals with high power levels are adjacent to each other can be avoided, so a performance of a receiving unit is improved.

Abstract: An overhead message and a method of performing channel hashing using the same are provided. The overhead message includes first and second fields of an extended CDMA channel list message (ECCLM). The first field contains information indicating whether the ECCLM includes at least one frequency assignment of list of frequency assignments that allows packet data support for a forward packet data channel or a 1×EV-DV system and the second field indicates whether each frequency assignment allows such support, thereby enabling channel hashing to be performed by a packet-data-supportable mobile station of a communication system.

Abstract: A humidity adjusting apparatus includes at least one desiccant linearly reciprocated between a dehumidifying unit and a drying unit, and a motor for driving the desiccant to be moved, thereby improving dehumidifying and humidifying efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing machine and dryer having a condensation unit (700). A tub (200) is installed in a cabinet (100), and a drum is rotatably installed within the tub (200). A drying duct (610) has one end connected with an interior of the tub (200), and a condensation duct (710) connects the tub (200) with the drying duct (610). A cooling water supply unit (720) is provided in one side of the condensation duct (710) to supply cooling water supplied from an outside to the interior of the condensation duct (710). A cooling water dropping unit (750) collects the cooling water supplied to an interior of the condensation duct to drop the collected cooling water to the inner space of the condensation duct. A heater (620) heats air circulating the tub (200), the condensation duct (710), and the drying duct (610), and a circulation fan (800) circulates the air. A drain pump (500) discharges washing water in the tub (200) outside the cabinet (100).

Abstract: A device and method for modifying a video image of a display apparatus method, for efficiently modifying a size and aspect ratio of a video image, is disclosed. The device includes an on-screen display (OSD) generator providing an on-screen display (OSD) on a display for programming a size and an aspect ratio of a video image, and a video processor modifying a displayed video image in accordance with the size and aspect ratio of the displayed video image programmed by a user. Herein, the video processor modifies the video image from a center point of the video image.

Abstract: A technique for transmitting the same moving picture (video) to a plurality of terminals suitable for presenting a moving picture (video) performance by using a mobile communication terminal in an open area such as an athletic field. The method includes a first step in which a UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) system removes headers added in a BMC SDU (Broadcast/Multicast Control Service Data Unit) and transmits it to a terminal. A second step is performed in the terminal and involves checking input of a broadcast service key signal by a user and reads an SIB (System Information Block) transmitted from a base station, modular-calculates an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) value and selects a corresponding S-CCPCH (Secondary Common Control Physical Channel).

Abstract: Bonding pad(s) for a printed circuit board with circuit patterns are provided. The bonding pad(s) include a plurality of copper patterns formed on the PCB and electrically connected to the circuit patterns, a filler filled between the copper patterns such that an upper surface of the copper pattern is exposed, and a plating layer applied at an upper surface of the copper patterns. An interval between wire bonding pad(s) is reduced by preventing a nickel plating layer and a gold plating layer from protruding at a lower portion of a copper pattern when they are formed on the copper patterns.

Abstract: An initialization file download method of a cable modem includes the steps of: registering configuration file name information in a DHCP server; receiving the configuration file name information registered in the DHCP server; comparing the received first configuration file name information with a previously stored second configuration file name information; downloading the received first configuration file name information, if the received first configuration file name/version is more updated file than the second configuration file name/version upon comparison; updating the memory with the downloaded first configuration file name information; and registering a cable modem by using the received first configuration file name information. Since the configuration file for initializing the cable modem is downloaded, there is no need to download the configuration file in the initializing process, so that the time required for initializing process can be shortened at the maximum.
