Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for communication of information. In some embodiments, the techniques involve receiving, at an intermediate device from a remote device, a request to initiate a first communication session. The techniques may further involve responsive to receiving the request, establishing a second communication session between the intermediate device and a medical device. The techniques may further involve responsive to establishing the second communication session, automatically transmitting, by the intermediate device to the remote device, an acknowledgement that establishes the first communication session between the intermediate device and the remote device. The techniques may further involve streaming updated control parameters to the medical device via the second communication session.

Abstract: An optical payment transceiver and an optical settlement system using the same uses a personal portable terminal incorporated with an optical transceiver as a card substitute payment unit for settlement. Here, card information is incorporated in a personal portable terminal incorporated with an optical transceiver such as a portable phone or a PDA and the optical transceiver is connected to a card inquiry machine to thereby optically transmit and receive card information. The card inquiry machine recognizes the received card information in the same manner as that of the card reader reading a magnetic card, and transmits the card information to a VAN company server or a card company server, to then request for an approval and settle transactions.

Abstract: In a method for driving a display, one frame may be divided into more sub frames than a number of bits of data. A time period of the one frame may be divided into a number of periods corresponding to a number of scan lines multiplied by the number of sub frames. A start position of the sub frames may be set based on a bit weight of the data so that gradations are linearly expressed. Remainders of the sub frames may be obtained by dividing the start position of the sub frames by the number of sub frames. A line number of a scan line to which a scan signal is supplied may be obtained based on the time period of the one frame, the start position of the sub frames, and the number of the sub frames.

Abstract: Disclosed is a polyester conjugated yarn, including two types of polymers having a large intrinsic viscosity difference subjected to bi-component spinning so as to be longitudinally arranged in a side-by-side sectional structure, in which the twp types of polymers are polyethyleneterephthalate having intrinsic viscosity of 0.45-0.65 as a first polymer and polytrimethyleneterephthalate having intrinsic viscosity of 0.90-1.10 as a second polymer. The polyester conjugated yarn is advantageous in terms of superior spinnability and high uniformity index. In addition, the polyester conjugated yarn can exhibit high self-crimping properties through relaxation-heat treatment of the dyeing and finishing process, and as well, can be applied to manufacture woven/knit fabrics having softness to the touch, beautiful colors, and high drapery and bulk properties, due to inherent characteristics of polytrimentyleneterephthalate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating an active GPS receiver using a base station position remote input. So that the GPS receiver can operate normally and at a high speed even in a base station's initial power authorization which may be under a poor receiving circumstances by inputting a base station's position information to a GPS receiver form a distance. This invention comprises: checking an inside activation by itself after power is initiated and authorized; requesting position information to a BSM when within a normal state; setting the action information by the received position information when the position information is received after the above position information is requested; and entering a conventional operating state when at least more than one satellite signal is received. In addition, after requesting the position information, when position information is not received within a set time, outputting of the position information is automatically initiated.
