Abstract: A High Speed Inter Chip (HSIC) system and method for minimizing power consumption by controlling the state of the HSIC module through a control line are provided. The method between a host and a slave includes transitioning, when no communication request exists for a first reference time in an active state where all functions of the HSIC modules are enabled, to a suspend state where least functions used for maintaining a communication link of the HSIC modules and transitioning, when no communication request exists for a second reference time in the suspend state, to a power-off state where the HSIC modules turn off. The HSIC communication method and apparatus are advantageous to minimize the electric current consumption of the HSIC consumption system.

Abstract: A method for inputting a plurality of characters in a wireless portable terminal of the type having a memory for storing a plurality of characters and a plurality of indices associated with each one of the plurality of characters, comprising the steps of: determining if a mode for inputting a character is selected; displaying at least one character along with at least one index associated thereto in response to the selection of the character-input mode; determining if the key data corresponding to the index is inputted; and, displaying and storing the associated character corresponding to the index when the key data corresponding to the index is inputted.

Abstract: A toothpaste extractor or dispenser having a pneumatic pump connected to a syringe assembly that injects compressed air inside a toothpaste tube thereby urging the phase out through a nozzle positioned above a carrier assembly where the user's toothbrush is engaged. The user's force pushing the carrier in actuates, through a linking assembly, the pneumatic pump. All of these elements are mounted within a housing assembly.
