The focal plane shutter includes: a front curtain; a rear curtain; a support part coupled to one side of the front curtain and the rear curtain; and a movable part movably contacting one side of the support part, wherein either the front curtain or the rear curtain is independently moved by the motion of the movable part. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090040339 | Digital signal processor and digital image processing apparatus adopting the same - A digital signal processor and a digital image processing apparatus adopting the same. The digital signal processor comprises a data converter, which converts digital image data in red, green, and blue form to digital image data in luminance and chrominance form, such that when photograph-image data is captured by photographing, the data converter processes the photograph-image data during each period of time from the time when processing of one frame data of live-view is completed to the time when processing of next frame data begins. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090035891 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FLIP-CHIP BONDING - Provided are a laser flip-chip bonding method having high productivity and excellent bonding reliability and a flip-chip bonder employing the same. The flip-chip bonder includes: a bonding stage on which a substrate rests; a bonding head picking up a semiconductor chip and attaching the semiconductor chip to the substrate; and a semiconductor chip heating unit heating the semiconductor chip to a bonding temperature. The semiconductor chip heating unit includes: a laser light source; and a lens assembly refracting a laser beam emitted by the laser light source to a top surface of the semiconductor chip so that a central position of the laser beam varies across the top surface of the semiconductor chip. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090034957 | Pop-up module for electronic device - A pop-up module for an electronic device. The pop-up module includes a pop-up member, a base where the pop-up member is rotatably installed, a first elastic member, a projection unit disposed in the pop-up member, a moving member, a second elastic member, a first rotating lever unit, a operating unit including a movement portion and a driving portion, a second rotating lever unit including a contacting portion and a hanging portion, and a third elastic member. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090031562 | TAPE FEEDER FOR COMPONENT MOUNTER PROVIDING STABLE TAPE FEEDING AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING A COMPONENT ON A CIRCUIT BOARD WITH COMPONENT MOUNTER - Provided are a tape feeder for use in chip mounters that can reduce a chip feeding duration and prevent chips from being turned over or assuming wrong postures to feed the chips stably, and a chip mounting method. The tape feeder includes a second link having one end linked to a link shaft through which a first link and a pivot lever are combined and the other end in which a slot curved at a predetermined inclination is formed. The velocity at which a carrier tape is fed changes according to the inclination of the curve of the slot with respect to the moving direction of the first link, the curve contacting the contact unit upon the movement of the first link in a direction helping to rotate a ratchet gear. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090022427 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHING APPARATUS - A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus to enlarge and reproduce an image is provided. The method includes determining whether an instruction is given in an image reproduction mode, dividing the input image into a predetermined number of blocks when it is determined that the instruction is given, enlarging the small image corresponding to a specific block from among the predetermined number of blocks, and displaying the enlarged small image on an entire screen. | 01-22-2009 |
