  • Patent number: 7804465
    Abstract: A plasma display apparatus comprises a plasma display panel and a driver. The plasma display panel comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode crossing the first electrode and the second electrode. During a first frame, the driver alternately supplies a sustain signal to the first electrode and the second electrode and supplies a constant voltage to the third electrode. During a second frame having a smaller APL of the first frame, the driver alternately supplies a sustain signal to the first electrode and the second electrode and supplies an auxiliary signal to the third electrode so as to correspond to at least one sustain signal of the sustain signals supplied to the first electrode and the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 7427113
    Abstract: A torsion beam axle suspension is provided, in which a shock absorber is directly mounted on right and left trailing arms and is further mounted to the mount by a ball joint. Thus, it is possible to reduce the weight and production expenses, thus to enhance productivity. Further, it is possible to considerably decrease a friction caused by movement of the shock absorber even though the transverse force is applied, thus to enhance the riding comfort.

  • Publication number: 20080031523
    Abstract: A method of extracting information parts, and a recorded medium recording the method, for retrieving image sequence data are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present invention, image frames included in an image sequence are converted to frames, in a quantity of n, including only the object that is separated from a background, and the corresponding shape descriptors, in a quantity of n, are extracted. The shape descriptors, in a quantity of n, are aligned according to a temporal order, to generate a shape sequence, which is frequency-converted along the time axis to obtain conversion coefficients having frequency information. Using coefficients in a low frequency area among the obtained conversion coefficients, a shape sequence descriptor is extracted. With this invention, video data expressing the motion of an object can be captured as an image sequence, and the similarity between video data can be distinguished by extracting information parts from each image sequence.

  • Patent number: 7068839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to method for processing color image on image processing system. The method for processing color image on image processing system includes the steps of: extracting from the color image hue, luminance and saturation which are the factors of the color image; setting the saturation factor as predetermined constant by normalizing the saturation factor; transforming the color image into complex number using the hue factor and luminance factor. Accordingly, an image processing system can reduce the load of color image processing by way of present invention that reduces the redundancy between the factors of color images through transforming the three factors of the color image into complex number.
