Abstract: A complex formulation for oral administration comprising a sustained release formulation of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and a film layer for rapid release of an anti-hypertensive agent, the film layer being coated on the sustained release formulation, can achieve improved therapeutic effects of the anti-hypertensive agent by promptly releasing it, while maintaining a constant drug level of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor in blood through a slow release. Accordingly, the complex formulation is useful for preventing and treating diseases such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling power of a display device is disclosed. Dynamic contrast is widened by controlling contrasts of each LED in the backlight of the display device. The apparatus comprises a video signal analyzer, a liquid crystal display (LCD), vertical gate drivers and horizontal drain drivers, a backlight, a power controller, and a controller. By controlling each LED, clearer video signal, lower dissipating power, and lower heat can be achieved.

Abstract: Embodiments according to the present invention can enhance an efficiency of an apparatus or method capable of converting power of a system. An apparatus for converting power includes a load state variation detector that detects a load characteristic state of the load unit; and an adjusting unit that adjusts a preset value of the circuit device of the load unit in accordance with the value detected by the load state variation detector. A method for controlling a power includes checking a load characteristic with respect to one or more than one element of system elements; and adjusting one or more than one circuit device value of a power block of the one or more than one element with respect to the load characteristic. In embodiments, it is possible to increase an efficiency of a DC/DC converter by varying a turn ratio of an inductor among the circuit devices of a converter and adjusting an inductance L.

Abstract: A power supply device of a video display apparatus and a method thereof is capable of improving operation reliability of a video display apparatus, preventing erratic operation of the video display apparatus caused by higher harmonics and preventing erratic operation of other apparatus caused by unnecessary transmitted radiative wave. The power supply device can include a rectifying section for converting AC power into DC power, a harmonics suppressor for cutting off higher harmonics included in the DC power and a smoothing circuit for smoothing the higher harmonics cut-off DC power. A standby power supplier is for supplying the smoothed DC power to the video display apparatus as standby power, a main power supplier is for supplying the smoothed DC power to the video display apparatus as main power and a control unit is for controlling an operation of the harmonics suppressor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting wheel with blanks which reduces vibration and frictional noise generated when a workpiece such as stone, steel concrete, asphalt, metal, ceramic, or wood is cut, and a method for manufacturing the same. There is provided a cutting wheel of which a wheel body is formed with at least one blank. The blank is shaped in a line with a variable width, and the blank is filled with noise absorbing material. According to the present invention, the noise and vibration is considerably decreased as compared with a general plane type cutting wheel and a conventional cutting wheel with blanks. In addition, the cutting wheel with blanks according to the present invention can absorb the noise and vibration as good as the sandwich type cutting wheel, and particularly, is considerably high in strength, and is inexpensive to manufacture with ½ to ? costs compared with the sandwich type cutting wheel.

Abstract: A backlight unit in a display device having a Divided Display Area Method (DDAM) of a Field Sequential (FS) driving method applied thereto is provided. The backlight unit includes first to (n)th light guiding plates for field sequential drive, and a plurality of light sources arranged at at least one side of the first to (n)th light guiding plates at certain intervals.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device and a driving method thereof for preventing a color distortion phenomenon in a field-sequential driving system are disclosed. In the liquid crystal display device, a data driver sequentially supplies a green data signal, a red data signal and a blue data signal to the data lines. A gate driver applies a scanning pulse to gate lines. A light source irradiates a green light onto a liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the green data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell, irradiates a red light onto the liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the red data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell, and irradiates a blue light to the liquid crystal cell during a time interval when the blue data signal is maintained at the liquid crystal cell.
