Abstract: A news supplying system linked with a global timepiece, which can display a map of an area where news occurs, time and news (information) together. The news supplying system includes: (A) a subscriber information managing part for storing and managing a subscriber's identity information, information on interested region, information on interested field, and so on; (B) a news gathering part for extracting, storing and managing news of the subscriber's interested field; (C) a global timepiece part for creating a global timepiece displaying a world map and time; and (D) a news linking part for linking the extracted and stored news with the global timepiece.

Abstract: Disclosed is a timepiece from which a sunrise and sunset time along with the position of the sun can be determined. The sunrise time and the sunset time are changed according to the season and the latitude of the place where one man the time. People acquire the sunrise and sunset time from the news of a television or a newspaper. According to the enlargement of cities, underground activities and the degree of building closure are increased to shield the sun. The timepiece of the present invention comprises a circular hour plate which rotates once per 24 hours. Also included is a sunrise and sunset time designating section (21) for indicating the sunrise time and the sunset time for each month. Through the timepiece of the present invention, the present time, the position of the sun at the present time, the sunrise and sunset time can be appreciated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an Arabic-Persian Alphabet input apparatus having ten or more basic keys on which basic figures extracted from analyzed forms of the Arabic Alphabet are inscribed, respectively. The basic key input signals are combined to easily and simply input the Arabic Alphabet to miniaturized and multi-functional electronic appliances such as cell phones whose buttons (keys) are limited in number. Further, the Arabic characters are inputted in the same manner as handwriting without having to particularly remember the Persian Alphabet.

Abstract: A universal timepiece from which a latitude and a longitude can be determined. A bottom plate which has the names of the main cities in the world, scales and the relative longitudes according to the real longitudes of the cities on the circumference thereof, is included. Comprised is a circular hour plate which has a 24-divisional scale having the same angles with respect to the center. And a circular star plate which rotates 360.99 per 24 hours is included. The rotational axis coincides with the Polaris or the south pole and the main stars and a concentric circle for representing the declination are designated in the star plate. At each concentric circle, the declination or the value obtained by subtracting the declination from 90 is recorded. The clock plate rotates to indicate the time. The star plate is the timepiece which rotates in the same velocity with the actual celestial sphere.
