  • Publication number: 20090004095
    Abstract: There is provided a porous filamentous nanocarbon and a method for forming the same. A mesopore formed on an outer periphery of the porous filamentous nanocarbon is a tunnel-like pore which is formed along the arrangement direction of the carbon hexagonal plane from the outer periphery toward a fiber axis. The porous filamentous nanocarbon is fabricated by selectively removing the carbon hexagonal plane constituting the filamentous nanocarbon through gasification in virtue of a catalyst, after highly dispersing Fe, Ni, Co, Pt, etc., of which size is 2-30 nm, on the surface of the filamentous nanocarbon. That is, the tunnel-like mesopore is formed radially by nano-drilling process. The size of the porous filamentous nanocarbon can be controlled according to the size of the nano-drilling catalyst and non-drilling conditions.

  • Publication number: 20080291315
    Abstract: The invention relates to a digital imaging system and a method of storing imaging place information thereof. In the digital imaging system having a GPS function, imaging place information, such as photographs and location of imaging places to be remembered, are stored together, such that a user can easily visit the image places again. Further, positional information of an imaging place associated with a photograph is automatically set as a destination, thereby performing the GPS function. In addition, a place to visit for photographing is set as at least one destination, and information regarding the set destination is input in advance to be then stored and displayed.

  • Publication number: 20080096492
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-band antenna unit of a mobile terminal that includes an antenna, switch, sensor, first matching circuit, second matching circuit, diplexer, first signal processing unit, and second signal processing unit. The antenna is movably installed between first and second contacts, and transmits and receives first and second signals of different frequency bands. The switch connects the first contact to the first matching circuit or the second contact through the second matching circuit. The sensor detects an antenna position, and allowing selective connection of first or second matching circuits. Transmission and reception of multiple signals of various frequency bands is enabled using a single antenna unit, reducing the number of components, cost, and size of a mobile terminal. Additionally, performance of an antenna is improved by connecting to a proper matching circuit according to the position of the antenna.
