Abstract: A method for preventing malfunction of a mobile communication terminal when a headset is used is provided. The method includes detecting an ON state of a hook switch according to pre-set options and outputting a first detect signal. The method further includes determining that a headset has been inserted into the mobile communication terminal and outputting a second detect signal.

Abstract: A cathode thin film for a lithium secondary cell, which uses a cathode active material substituting Sn for Mn in lithium manganese oxide, has a high discharge capacity and an improved cycle property.

Abstract: A method for transmitting information for a Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) capable of receiving a specific MBMS service without any difficulty in a when a terminal subscribed to the specific MBMS service moves from an to the, in which when the terminal moves from the to the, the terminal or the transmits to the state information of a terminal-related MBMS service which the is providing, and the provides the MBMS service to the terminal by setting a dedicated channel with the terminal.

Abstract: The downregulation of PRP 19 (precursor RNA processing 19) protein expression results in effectively reducing the expression of SCD1 (stearyl CoA desaturase-1), the key lipogenic enzyme, and its down-stream triacylglycerol synthesis enzymes, DGAT-1 (diacyglycerol acyltransferase-1) and GPAT (glycerol-phosphate acyltransferase), as well as the intracellular content of neutral lipids, the major target for treating obesity.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a thin film using microwave and a method therefor are provided. The apparatus for forming a thin film on a wafer by densifying predetermined soot on a wafer, when the wafer and the soot form a sample, includes a microwave sintering furnace for sealing the sample and exposing the sample to microwave, thus sintering the sample, a sintering furnace atmosphere maker for controlling the state, being the atmosphere of air inside the microwave sintering furnace, a temperature sensor/controller for sensing a temperature inside the microwave sintering furnace, comparing the temperature with a predetermined reference temperature, and outputting an error temperature, and a microwave power source for generating microwave of a predetermined temperature with reference to the error temperature output from the temperature sensor/controller and applying the microwave to the microwave sintering furnace.

Abstract: Provided is a method for realizing a burning candle on the Internet space, comprising the steps of a) transmitting a web page to a user so that the user can select the kind and pattern of a candle and input data including the opening and closing dates of the candle, b) generating a database based on the user's input data, c) extracting a candle corresponding the database and transmitting the candle to the user, d) lighting the candle, e) burning down the candle as time elapses, and f) extinguishing the candle. In the method for realizing a burning candle on the Internet space, candles incarnating hope or desire are purchased with payment, rather than free of charge, thereby creating revenues based on the sales of the candles, solving the revenue problem with existing electronic businesses. Also, for a user who wants to pray for his/her earnest hope or intention but has no time to visit a place where votive candles are provided, a praying-purpose candle can be realized on the Internet.

Abstract: Provided is a method of applying locking function to electronic documents and/or text messages transmitted through the network, by which the security of the electronic documents is ensured and the reading conditions thereof are specified. There is also provided an electronic documents and/or text messages, comprising: a ) a locking function selection region storing the information whether locking function is applied to the attached electronic document; b) a locking condition region storing one or more conditions for locking the attached electronic document; c) a locking guide message region storing a guide message presented when the locking condition specified is not satisfied, d) a hierarchy information region storing hierarchy information; and, e) a document region storing the document to be transmitted.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a silica film is provided. The apparatus includes a conveyor including a mounting unit where a plurality of wafers are loaded. The conveyor is used for moving and transferring the mounting wafers. The apparatus also includes a deposition part for generating flames to deposit silica soot on the plurality of wafers, the deposition part being located above the conveyor, and a calcination part, adjacent to the deposition part, removing water from the silica soot, and a sintering part, adjacent to the calcination part, for deifying the calcined silica soot to form a silica film. The process of manufacturing the silica film can be continuously performed, enhancing productivity.

Abstract: A Ge--Ga--S-based glass composition having light amplifying characteristics and an apparatus for optical communications using the glass composition are provided. The present invention includes a sulfur-poor Ge--Ga--S based host glass which includes less S than compositions on the composition line of GeS.sub.2 --G.sub.2 S.sub.3 on the ternary phase diagram of Ge--Ga--S, and a rare earth active material doped on the host glass for luminescence and light amplification. Ga of no more than about 10 mol % is included in the host glass. Also, Pr.sup.3+ ions are used as the rare earth active material. Furthermore, for stable vitrification and a blue shift of a short wavelength absorption band, a vitrification stabilizer such as Br and I is added to the host glass.

Abstract: A Ge--Ga--S-based glass composition for performing an optical amplification and an apparatus for optical communications using the same are provided. In the glass composition according to the present invention, an active material for performing luminescence and optical amplification operations is added to the Ge--Ga--S host glass and a transition metal ion moving the distribution of optical amplification gains is added in a range from 0.01 mole % to 0.2 mol %.
