  • Patent number: 9030305
    Abstract: Provided is a method for expressing haptic information using control information, and a system for transmitting haptic information. In the method for expressing haptic information using control information, a tactile video is generated from tactile information for driving a drive array of a tactile device; force feedback data are generated from force feedback information for driving an actuator of a force feedback device; object data are generated to produce a scene descriptor that defines time positions of the tactile video, force feedback data, and multimedia information; and a stream file is generated by encoding the object data and multiplexing the encoded object data. The method comprises: a step of storing control information containing features and specifications of a haptic device including the tactile device and the force feedback device; and a step of expressing information of the scene descriptor through the haptic device with reference to the control information.

  • Publication number: 20140312849
    Abstract: An external battery includes a battery, a charger, a DC-DC conversion, a main controller (MC), and a switch. The charger supplies, to the battery, external power supplied from an adaptor to an input stage. The DC-DC converter converts output voltage of the battery into voltage having an amplitude different from that of the output voltage and transmits the converted voltage to an output stage. The MC senses discharge overcurrent of the battery using an output current of the DC-DC converter. The switch is controlled by the MC and is between the battery and the DC-DC converter.

  • Publication number: 20140120379
    Abstract: A battery pack includes a bare cell; a holder case positioned at the top of the bare cell; and a top case that covers the holder case. In the battery pack, a protruding portion is formed in a short side portion of the holder case, and a receiving portion is formed at a position corresponding to the protruding portion in the top case. Accordingly, the protruding portion is inserted into the receiving portion, so that it is possible to provide the battery pack stronger against external impact.

  • Patent number: 8300710
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a node structure for representing tactile information, and method and system for transmitting tactile information using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a node structure that represents tactile information for driving a tactile display device including an array of drivers as a tactile video, and to method and system for transmitting tactile information using the same. The invention provides a node structure for representing information for driving a driver array of a tactile display device. The node structure includes: a url field that indicates the position of the tactile video storing information on the driving strength of the driver array as intensity values of pixels! a start time field that indicates the playback start time of the tactile video; and a stop time field that indicates the playback stop time of the tactile video. In addition, the invention provides method and system for transmitting tactile information using the node structure.
