Abstract: A system and method of measuring power consumption in an appliance is provided. An electrical characteristic of a power signal, such as a voltage component and/or a current component, can be detected at the appliance. The detected electrical characteristic can be processed using a signal processor. During signal processing, the detected electrical characteristic can be shifted based on a predetermined threshold and converted to a digital signal. An electrical characteristic offset can be determined based on an average electrical characteristic value of a plurality of detected electrical characteristics. The difference between the electrical characteristic offset value and an instantaneously detected electrical characteristic value can be used to determine power consumption of the appliance.

Abstract: In a terminal and method for data communication using multiple wireless communication methods, a terminal includes an input unit to receive an instruction of a user; a communication unit to transmit and receive data to and from other terminals; and a control unit to determine a first seed file based on the instruction, to search other terminals having a seed file corresponding to the first seed file, and to receive data corresponding to the seed file from the searched other terminals.

Abstract: Provided is a Direct-Sequence Ultra-Wideband (DS-UWB) terminal device. A mobile communication terminal device using a DS-UWB scheme may simultaneously or sequentially transmit and receive a signal in a low-frequency band and a signal in a high-frequency band, and may simultaneously process the signals. Therefore, the DS-UWB scheme may be applied to a function division technique.

Abstract: Disclosed is an auxiliary electric connector used for coupling a male connector connected to a first substrate of a liquid crystal display device and a female connector connected to a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate, the male connector having convex portions, the femail connector having concave portions, including: a first end portion having the same shape as the convex portion of the male connector; and a second end portion having the same shape as the concave portion of the female connector. The male and female connectors may be connected to the first and second subtrates of the liquid crystal display device with a cable and the cable has a plurality of electric wires, respectively. The cable can be a flexible printed cable. The male and female connectors may directly contact the first and second subtrates of the liquid crystal display device, respectively.

Abstract: A tape carrier package has dummy bending parts that are capable of reducing a brightness difference of a screen. In the tape carrier package, a pad part is connected to a liquid crystal panel. A base film is mounted with an integrated circuit chip for applying a signal to the liquid crystal panel. A dummy bending part is formed by removing the base film between the pad part and the integrated circuit chip to distribute a stress applied to the liquid crystal panel according to a thermal expansion of the pad part.
