Abstract: A rendering method of an object-based audio signal and an apparatus for performing the same are provided. The rendering method of an object-based audio signal includes obtaining a rendered audio signal, performing clipping prevention on the rendered audio signal using a first limiter, mixing a signal output by the first limiter using a mixer, and performing clipping prevention on the mixed signal using a second limiter.

Abstract: A method of rendering object-based audio and an electronic device performing the method are provided. The method includes identifying a bitstream, determining a reference distance of an object sound source based on the bitstream, determining a minimum distance for applying distance-dependent attenuation, based on the reference distance, and determining a gain of object-based audio included in the bitstream based on the reference distance and the minimum distance.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a photodetector utilizing graphene. A single-layer graphene channel is formed on a semiconductor substrate doped with n-type impurity. The graphene channel has an end connected to a source electrode and is physically separated from a drain electrode. Light having passed through a gate insulation layer and a gate electrode generates electron-hole pairs at the interface between the graphene channel and the semiconductor substrate forming a Schottky junction, and a photocurrent is generated by a Schottky barrier. In addition, the Schottky barrier is changed according to an applied gate voltage, thereby changing the photocurrent.

Abstract: A portable system, method thereof, and a power consumption controller for controlling power consumption in a portable system are described. The portable system may include a storage unit, a module processing data, and a controller regulating power supplied to the module. The controller may regulate the module to perform a backup operation when a power saving mode begins and to interrupt the power after the backup operation is completed.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device having a fixed CAS latency during a normal operation and various CAS latencies during a test mode. The semiconductor memory device a master signal generator for generating a master signal in response to a power-up signal and a latency test signal. A plurality of fuse information units generate fuse information signals in response to the power-up signal and the master signal.
