Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to allow for the use of existing satellite identification parameters generically, so as to allow for Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) identification. In addition, an optional or conditional parameter is linked to the satellite identification parameter for a frequency identification, where frequency identification is indicative of a Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) frequency value. Such a frequency identification parameter is optional as it is needed only for current GLONASS and/or near-future GLONASS (e.g., GLONASS-M) satellites. Hence, utilization of the frequency identification parameter maybe unnecessary and therefore, not included/not linked when considering next generation GLONASS satellites, e.g., GLONASS-K satellites. Additionally, signals supported by particular global positioning system (GPS) satellites can be indicated with the use of generic satellite identification.

Abstract: Provided is a character input method and apparatus for automatically switching an input mode in a terminal having a touch screen. If a press event occurs in one of key regions displayed in the touch screen, it is determined whether a drag event occurs prior to occurrence of a release event. According to whether the drag event occurs, one of a separate input mode for inputting one of characters of a corresponding character group and a text input mode for inputting a word including one of the characters of the character group is executed. Thus, a user can easily input a character by rapidly selecting a desired input mode.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring data between different types of systems, and in particular uses log-based replication to transfer data between different types of systems.

In accordance with an embodiment, full or partial data changes can be extracted from the MySQL binary log, optionally transformed, skipped or augmented, output or written to a file, and then applied at any of one or more target systems (e.g. another MySQL database, or a non-MySQL database), thereby synchronizing the source and target systems.

Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device has a NAND string, in which multiple memory cells are connected in series. A read procedure is performed for a selected memory cell in the NAND string on the condition that the selected memory cell is applied with a selected voltage while unselected memory cells are driven to be turned on without regard to cell data thereof. In the read procedure, a first read pass voltage is applied to unselected memory cells except an adjacent and unselected memory cell disposed adjacent to the selected memory cell, the adjacent and unselected memory cell being completed in data write later than the selected memory cell, and a second read pass voltage higher than the first read pass voltage is applied to the adjacent and unselected memory cell.
