Abstract: Disclosed is a method for testing a memory device, which can test a memory cell block while testing another memory cell block, so as to catch a process defect of the memory device within a short time period, thereby reducing the test time. The method for testing a memory device provided with a bank including N memory cell blocks and sense amplifiers, the method comprising the steps of: a) expressing the N memory cell blocks as a first, a second, . . . , an Nth memory cell block; b) sequentially activating odd-numbered memory cell blocks of the N memory cell blocks one by one in a predetermined time period; c) performing sense, read (or write) and precharge operations for each activated memory cell block; and d) performing steps a) to c) for even-numbered memory cell blocks after tests for all the odd-numbered memory cell blocks are finished.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for recording/reproducing at least one text subtitle stream. The method includes receiving at least one text subtitle stream from an external source, each text subtitle stream including a style segment defining at least one region style and at least one presentation segment, each presentation segment containing at least one region of text and being linked to at least one region style, wherein the style segment including a player style flag which indicates whether a player is permitted to generate its own player style. Thereafter, the method calls for decoding the text subtitle stream using the style segment defining at least one region style and a player style flag.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a thiourea derivative or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, a cyclodextrin or its derivative; and a pharmaceutical formulation comprising same.

Abstract: A data reproducing method, data recording/reproducing apparatus and data transmitting method are disclosed. The present invention includes the steps of providing information for identifying a player to a server, downloading data based on the information from the server and reproducing the data. And, the present invention includes the steps of receiving information for identifying a player from the player, configuring data using the information, and transmitting the data to the player. Accordingly, content can be protected against illegal copy, illegal distribution and the like by employing player information. And, the present invention can trace a player having compromised content.

Abstract: At least one text subtitle stream is recorded on a recording medium. Each text subtitle stream includes a dialog style segment defining a set of region styles and at least one dialog presentation segment. Each dialog presentation segment contains at least one region of dialog text and being linked to at least one of the set of region styles. The dialog style segment further defines a set of user control styles for each region style. Each user control style is selectable by a user and is configured to change at least one of region presentation properties specified by a corresponding region style.

Abstract: A recording medium for protecting content data, and a method and apparatus for reproducing data are disclosed. A method for reproducing data includes the steps of: a) confirming information constraining output resolution of the data according to a region; b) comparing the information with region value indicating a region in which a player is to be played; and c) outputting the data according to the result of the comparison. Therefore, the apparatus limits data output resolution until a current time reaches an analog output sunset time, thereby protecting the content data. The apparatus can prevent content data from being illegally duplicated or distributed by a fraudulent user, and can assign different content protection degrees to individual regions, resulting in the creation of more convenient functions for a content provider (CP) and a legitimate user.

Abstract: Method and system to detect orientations of a moving object using one or more magnetic compasses. The method and system minimize magnetic field interference in a space where an object is moving such that the orientations of the moving object can be precisely detected. The method includes setting one or more earth magnetic field (EMF) conditions without a magnetic field interference component to determine whether the one or more magnetic compasses are located in an EMF area, calculating a magnitude of a magnetic field applied to the moving object using the one or more magnetic field compasses, and detecting an orientation of the moving object by determining whether the calculated magnitude of the magnetic field satisfies the one or more EMF conditions.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of cell blocks, block controllers for activating or precharging word lines of each of the cell blocks according to an external active command and a precharge command, a sense amplifier for sensing a fine voltage shared by bit lines and complementary bit lines of the cell blocks, sense amplifier controllers for activating or precharging the sense amplifier according to the external active command and the precharge command, and outputing bit line isolation signals that control the connection between the sense amplifier and the cell block, a block address decoder for decoding external block addresses in normal mode to output a block select signal for selecting one cell block, and outputing a block select signal for selecting even or odd cell blocks according to one of the external block addresses in test mode, and a SES control block for outputing a bit line isolation control signal for controlling the bit line isolation signals and a sense amplifier enable sig

Abstract: At least one text subtitle stream is recorded on a recording medium. Each text subtitle stream includes a dialog style segment defining a set of region styles and at least one dialog presentation segment. Each dialog presentation segment contains at least one region of dialog text and being linked to at least one of the set of region styles. The dialog style segment further defines a set of user control styles for each region style. Each user control style is selectable by a user and is configured to change at least one of region presentation properties specified by a corresponding region style.

Abstract: At least one text subtitle stream is recorded on a recording medium. Each text subtitle stream includes a dialog style segment defining a set of region styles and at least one dialog presentation segment. Each dialog presentation segment contains at least one region of dialog text and being linked to at least one of the set of region styles. The dialog style segment includes a player style flag which indicates whether a player is permitted to generate its own set of player styles. Then each dialog presentation segment is decoded using the set of player styles if the permission is indicated by the player style flag.

Abstract: In the data structure for managing reproduction of text subtitle data, a recording area stores graphic control information indicating whether to still a display of main data when a display of graphic information is activated.
