Abstract: A crank angle detection apparatus may include a crank gear provided to be rotated together with a crankshaft, a balance gear provided to be rotated together with a balance shaft and engaged with the crank gear so that the balance shaft is rotated in accordance with rotation of the crankshaft, and a crank angle sensor configured to sense rotation of the balance gear or the crank gear and detect a rotation angle of the crankshaft.

Abstract: A balancing device for an engine includes a crankshaft for converting reciprocal motion of a piston of the engine to a rotary motion, at least one electromagnetic force generator mounted apart from the crankshaft by a predetermined distance and generating an electromagnetic force, and a control portion controlling the electromagnetic force generator to generate an electromagnetic force offsetting an unbalanced force occurring according to a rotational position of the crankshaft.

Abstract: An apparatus for driving a light source of a backlight unit includes: light sources; and a light source driver operating in an idle mode according to an input dimming signal and reducing a dimming value of an output dimming signal for adjusting brightness of the light sources by stages by mixing PWM control and PWM count control in a time-series manner to thus implement low dimming in the idle mode, wherein the dimming value of the output dimming signal is lowered to a first dimming value through the PWM control during a first period and subsequently lowered to a second dimming value lower than the first dimming value through the PWM count control during a second period that follows the first period.

Abstract: A two-cylinder engine is configured to reduce vibration. The two-cylinder engine includes a piston, a piston pin, a crankshaft of which a rotation center is positioned at a first predetermined distance from an imaginary center line of a cylinder, and a balance shaft of which a rotation center is positioned at a predetermined angle from an imaginary line perpendicular to the imaginary center line of the cylinder around the rotation center of the crankshaft for abutting onto a vehicle mounting position so as to reduce vibration.
