Abstract: A cathode active material with controlled rheological properties for lithium secondary batteries. In particular, the cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery includes: a core part comprising a lithium metal oxide; and a coating layer covering at least a portion of a surface of the core part and comprising an inorganic compound.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a graphics processor unit (GPU) configured to receive three-dimensional (3D) input data and a central processing unit (CPU) configured to receive the 3D input data and adjust a frequency and operating voltage of the GPU based on the 3D input data. The GPU performs image processing on the 3D input data based on the adjusted frequency and the operating voltage.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for sharing multipath-accessible memory between a plurality of processors, the method including connecting the plurality of processors in read/write communication to a same shared memory region; connecting the plurality of processors in read communication to a same semaphore area; selectably connecting one of the plurality of processors in write communication to the same semaphore area; exchanging shared memory access command messages between two processors for negotiating access to the same shared memory region; and storing protected variables indicative of the currently negotiated access to the same shared memory region in the same semaphore area, wherein the shared memory region has a channel relative to each processor, each channel having at least one buffer disposed for transferring a plurality of data packets in a burst mode.
