  • Patent number: 8516168
    Abstract: A queue overflow prevention method and apparatus for Hard Disk Drive (HDD) protection in a computer system is provided. The queue overflow prevention method includes measuring acceleration information of the system, determining if the system is in a stable status or an unstable status using the acceleration information, and, while the system is in the unstable status, restricting the generation of a disk Input/Output (I/O) request.

  • Patent number: 8416514
    Abstract: Provided are a lens unit, a lens assembly, a camera module, a method of fabricating the camera module and the lens assembly, a method of fabricating an optic member, and an apparatus of fabricating the optic member. The lens unit comprises a lens portion and a supporting portion. The lens portion has a curved surface. The supporting portion extends from the lens portion. The supporting portion comprises a protrusion or a recess. The method of fabricating the optic member comprises injecting a resin composition inside a mold die, pressing the resin composition; and irradiating light onto the resin composition. Due to the pressure, shrinkage of a photo-curable resin composition can be reduced, and thus, the lens unit comprising the protrusion or recess can be easily fabricated.

  • Publication number: 20120066546
    Abstract: A system recovery method and a computing apparatus having a system recovery function. The computing apparatus includes a first memory unit to store a general operating system (OS) in a system partition where a primary anti-virus program operates, and to store a recovery OS in a recovery partition where a secondary anti-virus program operates; a second memory unit to store firmware determining a booting partition of the computing apparatus; and a processor to control execution of the firmware to, when the system partition is infected by a virus and thus the computing apparatus does not boot to the general OS, boot the computing apparatus to the recovery OS, and to control recovery of the system partition.

  • Patent number: 7979761
    Abstract: A memory test device, including a universal register to conduct an operation by a predetermined universal command language; an extension register having a larger capacity than the universal register and to conduct an operation by a predetermined extension command language; and a controller to write a predetermined test pattern in an external memory using the extension command language, to read the test pattern written in the memory, to determine the identity of the written test pattern and the read test pattern, and to determine a presence of an error in the memory using the universal command language.
