Abstract: There are provided a base structure for a device such as a hard disk drive and a hard disk drive having the same. The base structure includes: a base body including components mounted thereon and made of a non-aluminum material; and a base reinforcing part attached to the base body as an additional piece. More specifically, the base body is provided by press-molding a steel sheet and the base reinforcing part is provided by press-molding a steel sheet or is provided as a reinforcing plate separately attached to an outer surface of the base body, and the base structure further includes a reinforcing part processing member additionally provided in the reinforcing plate. The base structure for a device such as a hard disk drive and the like, in which the rigidity thereof is secured or the weight thereof is reduced by using various base reinforcing parts and reinforcing part processing members while the manufacturing costs of the base structure are reduced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for scrolling data displayed on a screen, dividing a display region as a multiple of predefined weighted areas and setting a scroll velocity weight corresponding to each of the multiple of weighted areas when there is scrollable undisplayed data, after displaying data on the display region corresponding to execution of an application. Scroll velocity weight is detected corresponding to the initially produced point of the scroll input when a scroll input is sensed t, and an actual movement distance is detected corresponding to the scroll input in real-time until the scroll input ends. A scroll movement distance is calculating in proportion to the detected scroll velocity weight and the actual movement distance, and the data is displayed by shifting the data in a proceeding direction of the scroll input by the calculated scroll movement distance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing plastic optical transmission medium. The subject method and apparatus can produce a variety of optical transmission medium, including for example, graded refractive index polymer optical fiber, graded refractive index rod lens, and step index polymer optical fiber. The subject optical transmission medium have improved characteristics and efficiency, due, at least in part, to better control of the profile of the refractive index distribution and stable high temperature operation of the medium. High efficiency of manufacturing can be achieved by the subject method and apparatus which can permit continuous extrusion at high speed.

Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a system for imaging the human airway having highly advantageous optical and physical characteristics. In a specific embodiment, the human airway can be imaged during the intubation procedure. The excellent characteristics of the imaging system of the subject invention result, in part, from the use of plastic optic fibers. Plastic fibers are more robust than the glass optical fibers used in currently available imaging systems, and are therefore capable of being bent and/or twisted with less concern of breakage. In addition, the lower costs of plastic fibers enables scopes of the subject invention, in a specific embodiment, to be manufactured for single patient use thereby eliminating the requirement for cleaning, special care, the maintenance of expensive inventory, and most importantly eliminating the opportunity for cross contamination between patients.
