Abstract: An implantable lead having adjustable electrode locations and a system for controlling the same. The implantable lead may include a plurality of first electrodes exposed and formed at an upper part of a main body at given intervals, a plurality of second electrodes coupled to a stepped lower part of the main body and configured to deliver a stimulus signal to a core area into which the lead is inserted, and a plurality of signal lines embedded in the main body and configured to connect the first electrodes and the second electrodes in a one-to-one manner. In this case, a slot for coupling and up and down movement of the second electrodes may be formed in the lower part. As the second electrodes are individually moved along the slot by an external force acting on the signal lines, locations of the second electrodes in the lower part may be adjusted.

Abstract: A method for automatically searching for data applications for all channels and an video apparatus adopting the method are provided. The method for automatically searching for data applications for all channels includes receiving data application information through at least one of a current channel, which is currently selected, and other channels, and generating a data application list based on the data application information. Accordingly, users can easily know the data applications received through all channels without searching through all channels and can use data applications more conveniently.

Abstract: An open cable broadcast processing apparatus and control methods are provided. The broadcast processing apparatus includes a tuner to tune a cable signal supplied from a delivery system, an interface which is connected with a cable card descrambling the cable signal supplied through the tuner; and a controller which controls the tuner to change a reception channel based on received channel information when the channel information is received from the cable card through the interface to upgrade software, and controls not to change an operation corresponding to an operational change command when the operational change command is input to request an operational change. Thus, a channel supplying software information is prevented from being changed while upgrading software of a cable card and the upgrading operation is completed without interruption.

Abstract: A picture in picture (PIP) image reproducing apparatus and method are provided which is capable of image reproducing during a firmware upgrade of a cable card in which, an image signal that is displayed a main screen is switched to an auxiliary screen if tuning for a homing signal for upgrading the cable card interferes with the reproduction of the image signal that is currently being displayed on the main screen. As a result of switching the image displayed on the main screen to the auxiliary screen, the image can be continuously viewed even while the upgrade of the cable card occurs. In addition, if no image signal is being displayed on the auxiliary screen at the time when the homing signal is received, an input signal may be selected and displayed in the main screen while the image signal which was previously displayed in the main screen is reproduced on the auxiliary screen.
