Abstract: A travel information server estimates travel demand with mobility data. The server identifies activity types of users based, at least in part, on mobility data of the users. The mobility data has been collected over time and indicates at least locations and corresponding times at the locations. Travel information is generated with the mobility data for each of the activity types. The travel information for a first of the activity types is adjusted based, at least in part, on travel-related event data that corresponds to the first activity type to generate an adjusted travel information for the first activity type. The travel-related event data indicates an event that potentially influences travel for a short term computing an estimated travel demand with a combination of the adjusted travel information for the first activity type and the travel information for at least a second of the activity types.

Abstract: An ice maker, a refrigerator including the ice maker, and an ice making method are provided. The ice maker includes a tray having a predetermined length and to which water is supplied to make ice. The ice maker is configured to mechanically separate the ice from the tray by using pistons which are driven by being pressed by structures. This allows the ice maker to have a reduced size, and a small occupation area, thereby implementing a slim configuration of a refrigerator. Furthermore, since an installation height of the ice maker is lowered, a path for supplying cool air may be shortened. This may prevent loss of cool air being supplied to the ice making chamber. Since the ice maker has a simplified configuration and precise operation controls, the fabrication costs may be reduced, and inferiority of the ice maker due to malfunctions may be prevented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a terminal provided with a networking module for sharing data with a counter terminal connected to the terminal and a method for receiving and transmitting data between two terminals. The terminal according to the present invention comprises a connection port 10 connecting the terminal to a counter terminal and a networking module 20 receiving and transmitting data through the connection port 10 connected with the counter terminal. A control unit 30 of the terminal commands the networking module 20 to receive and transmit data by running an interfacing program. In the terminal according to the present invention, since two terminals can share data stored in each other without other device such as an external storage device of an adapter, it is advantageous in that users can easily move data between two terminals.

Abstract: A dual function memory device architecture compatible with asynchronous operation and synchronous serial operation. The dual function memory device architecture includes one set of physical ports having two different functional assignments. Coupled between the physical ports and core circuits of the memory device are asynchronous and synchronous input and output signal paths or circuits. The signal paths include shared or dedicated buffers coupled to the ports, asynchronous and synchronous command decoders, a network of switches, and a mode detector. The mode detector determines the operating mode of the dual function memory device from a port, and provides the appropriate switch selection signal. The network of switches routes the input or output signals through the asynchronous or synchronous circuits in response to the switch selection signal. The appropriate command decoder interprets the input signals and provides common control logic with the necessary signals for initiating the corresponding operation.
