Abstract: A battery pack and a method of charging the battery pack are disclosed. The method for charging includes monitoring a state of charge of a battery pack, determining a need for charging the battery pack based on the monitored state of charge of the batter and triggering charging of the battery pack by sending a signal indicative of the need for charging the battery pack based on the determined need for charging the battery pack.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a battery pack and a method of controlling the battery pack, and more particularly, to a battery pack receiving a charging current from a power generation module and a method of controlling the battery pack. In the battery pack, when an output voltage of the power generation module is higher than a rated voltage of a main battery and a rated voltage of a sub-battery is higher than the rated voltage of the main battery, an energy loss may be reduced.

Abstract: A battery pack includes a battery for supplying power to a starter motor of a vehicle, and a battery management unit for monitoring a condition of the battery, and for blocking the supply of power from the battery to the starter motor when a stability condition requirement for the battery is not satisfied.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for displaying video data without a display delay. In the method, a code indicating an end of stream is appended so that the code is appended behind a last video stream included in a stream to be displayed when only a part of an input stream including one or more video streams is displayed. In addition, the last video stream is displayed which is appended with the code indicating an end of stream.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to generate control data. The apparatus includes a counter unit configured to receive an input signal having a first state and a second state and counts the first state in the input signal, a delay unit configured to delay the count value for a predetermined time, and a data output unit configured to receive the delayed count value from the counter unit and then generate the control data based on the delayed count value.

Abstract: An average current controller configured for connection to display-components through a power switch. The average current controller includes first, second, and third comparators, an integrator, and a reference current generator. The first comparator compares a peak current level of reference current with a load current level of load current and outputs a first comparison result. The load current denotes current flowing through the display-components. The second comparator compares the peak current level of reference current with an average current level of the load current and outputs a second comparison result. The integrator integrates the second comparison result. The third comparator compares the integral value of the integrator with a predetermined value and outputs a third comparison result. The reference current generator sets the peak current level based on the first comparison result and the third comparison result and generates the reference current with the set peak current level.

Abstract: A mobile terminal is presented. The mobile terminal includes a main display unit comprising a first display unit, a transparent display unit comprising a second display unit, the transparent display unit being attached to the main display unit such that the transparent display unit may be viewed at an angle in comparison to the main display unit, and a controller controlling a three-dimensional (3D) and a two-dimensional (2D) image to be output by selectively displaying an image on at least the first display unit or the second display unit while the main display unit and the transparent display unit are positioned at an angle.
