  • Publication number: 20090005220
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of measuring the amount of exercise using a mobile communication terminal equipped with an acceleration sensor capable of measuring movement of a user. The method includes the steps of: a) measuring acceleration according to a change in the location of the mobile communication terminal by the acceleration sensor and detecting acceleration values of the terminal expressed in an orthogonal coordinate system where the acceleration sensor is set to a reference position; b) calculating gravitational acceleration direction values of the acceleration of the terminal from the acceleration values of the terminal detected in step a); c) detecting relative values of the acceleration values with respect to the gravitational acceleration direction values; and d) calculating the movement amount from the detected relative values.

  • Patent number: 6941327
    Abstract: An improved duplex system is disclosed having a primary system with a primary database and a redundant system with redundant database. The improvement includes a Change List Table (CLT) that records key information regarding each transaction performed on the primary database, which must also be performed on the redundant database to maintain synchronization between the primary and redundant databases. The key information for an ith transaction recorded in the CLT is removed from the CLT when the ith transaction is successfully performed on the redundant database.

  • Patent number: 6631838
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a printed circuit board includes the steps of: fabricating a printed circuit board having at least one collapsed portion; depositing a first solder resist in the collapsed portion; exposing the first solder resist-coated printed circuit board at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure for a predetermined time; coating a second solder resist on the entire surface of the printed circuit board; and drying and hardening the first and the second solder resists. With this method, when a solder resist is coated, since an air space does not remain in a blind via hole, the reliability of the attachment between a printed circuit board and the solder resist layer is increased.
