  • Patent number: 9988741
    Abstract: Provided is a sapphire single crystal heat treatment method comprising the steps of: charging a sapphire single crystal into a chamber; raising the temperature in the chamber to a target temperature by heating the chamber; holding the temperature in the chamber at a constant temperature; and cooling the inside of the chamber to room temperature, wherein the temperature raising step comprises: a first temperature raising step of raising the temperature to a first set temperature at a temperature raising rate of 4° C./min to 5° C./min; and a second temperature raising step of raising the temperature to a second set temperature at a temperature raising rate of 1° C./min or less after the first temperature raising step has been completed. The temperature raising process is executed in a multi-stage, to reduce the temperature raising time and prevent a sapphire single crystal from being affected by heat.

  • Patent number: 9532035
    Abstract: An imaging system on an aerial vehicle, includes: a group of rotating camera including at least a first and a second rotating cameras on the aerial vehicle; and a control part which controls a first virtual rotation track of the first rotating camera and a second virtual rotation track of the second rotating camera and allows shots to be taken at multiple photograph-shooting points on the first virtual rotation track and the second virtual rotation track; wherein the control part controls a set of multiple photograph-shooting points on the first virtual rotation track and those on the second virtual rotation track to be substantially in a grid shape. Accordingly, a 3D image could be acquired by using the group of rotating cameras on the aerial vehicle during a relatively short endurance flight and more information on images created in such a method could be estimated.

  • Patent number: 9367919
    Abstract: A method for estimating a position of a target by using an image acquired from a camera is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) setting multiple virtual estimated reference points by dividing a view-path; (b) comparing altitude values of the respective estimated reference points with those of respective points on terrain; (c) searching neighboring virtual estimated reference points among the multiple virtual estimated reference points to satisfy a requirement under which a difference between an altitude zk of one point among the neighboring estimated reference points and that of the terrain corresponding thereto and a difference between an altitude zk+1 of the other point among the neighboring estimated reference points and that of the terrain corresponding thereto have different signs; and (d) determining that the actual position of the target exists between the searched estimated reference points Pk.

  • Patent number: 5578951
    Abstract: A power-on reset circuit includes a discharger for applying a negative voltage to the gate of a transistor and quickly discharging a first intermediate signal during a power-off state to thereby generate a stable power-on reset signal even in fast switching of a power supply voltage, and a delay and buffer for maintaining the power-on reset signal at a first constant voltage for a predetermined time.
