  • Publication number: 20100182614
    Abstract: A shape measurement apparatus and method using a laser interferometer are disclosed. The shape measurement apparatus includes a plurality of laser devices, which generate beams, emit a beam of a specific frequency from among the generated beams, and output interference signals for detecting wavelengths of the generated beams, and a controller for detecting the wavelengths of the generated beams from the outputted interference signals, and controlling the laser devices on the basis of the detected wavelengths. The optical unit projects the beam of the laser device on a target object, and generates an interference pattern of the object. Several shutters are closed and opened. If the shutters are closed, they prevent the beam of each laser device to be projected on the optical unit. An image pickup unit captures the interference pattern.

  • Patent number: 7660860
    Abstract: A method for determining a transmission time of collected context information at a sensor node in a communication system that includes a client, at least one sensor node collecting context information, and an access point (AP) forwarding the context information received from the sensor node to the client. The communication system operates in a session layer of protocol layers of open systems interconnection (OSI). The sensor node calculates a transmission period in which the collected context information is transmitted, and randomly determines a transmission time at which the context information is transmitted within the calculated transmission period. Since the collected context information is transmitted at the transmission time randomly determined by the sensor node, the load on the AP can be balanced.

  • Patent number: 7642726
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes an inverter controller, a power transforming part and a connecting part. The power transforming part converts a direct current supplied from the inverter controller into an alternating current to output first and second polarity currents. The connecting part outputs the first and second polarity currents to first and second end portions of a load through first and second terminals, respectively and has a third terminal to receive a sensed signal in response to the first or second polarity currents so as to output the sensed signal. The first terminal is spaced apart from the second terminal by a first insulating distance, and the third terminal is spaced apart from the first or second terminals adjacent to the third terminal by a second insulating distance. Therefore, the sensed signal is independent of the output power, thereby increasing the sensing efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7603477
    Abstract: An automated system and method of establishing a local mobility domain (LMD) and a local mobility agent (LMA) on a mobile terminal node (MN) using Internet Protocol version (IPv6) preferably includes: establishing within the MN a newly contacted access router (AR) as the LMA and then receiving from the LMA and storing a list of neighboring ARs, which comprise the LMD. Each AR contains a stored list of neighboring ARs that are within a predetermined range of the AR, which is dynamically set by a network manager. The MN registers a retrieved local and regional address with both the LMA and a home agent (HA.) When the MN moves to a new AR, the stored list of the new AR is checked for the present LMA. The LMA is only changed to the new AR and re-registered with the HA if the new AR is in a different LMD.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical module used in a communication system employing a radio over fiber (ROF) technology delivering a radio frequency (RF) signal through an optical fiber. The optical module includes: an optical device; a signal line for transporting a radio frequency (RF) signal input from an external circuit to the optical device; and a resistor separately disposed from the signal line and having one end connected with the optical device, wherein the input impedance seen from the signal line is matched by the resistor. A bias voltage supplied to operate the optical device is applied through an inductor connected to the signal line between the optical device and a filter. Here, the filter formed by a pattern of the signal line prevents the bias voltage from being supplied to the external circuit. In order to amplify the RF signal input from the external circuit, an amplifier may be connected between the external circuit and the filter.
