In this neutral state, a control packet including a particular number of messages and a finished message is transmitted from the server to the client. If the client receives the control packet, the client performs a process according to the messages included in the control packet. This makes it possible to remotely control a device via a network in a highly reliable and efficient manner. | 02-16-2012 |

20100157673 | NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD OF READING THE SAME - A non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of preventing reading failure during the occurrence of the FG-FG coupling effect is disclosed. The non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, each cell of which stores at least two bits, such as LSB and MSB, using different threshold voltages. In addition, the device includes a control circuit for controlling the data-reading operation of the memory cell array. When the reading operation of the memory cells of a first word line is performed, the memory cells of a second word line adjacent to the first word line are examined to determine whether the writing operation of the MSB is performed. If the writing operation of the MSB is performed, a pre-charge voltage of the bit lines connecting to the memory cells of the first word line is reduced to a predetermined voltage for canceling out the raising of the threshold voltage caused by the coupling effect between gate electrodes. | 06-24-2010 |
20120262122 | Battery Management Control Method - A battery management method and apparatus. In one embodiment of the method, a source current is divided into Ic and Icr. Ic is transmitted to and charges a battery. A first voltage is generated that is related to Icr. The first voltage is converted into a first digital signal.

20130120824 | REFLECTION TYPE VARIABLE OPTICAL ATTENUATOR - An input/output port, a birefringent element, variable polarization rotator, and a reflector are arranged along an optical axis in the order named. The variable polarization rotator includes permanent magnets for applying a fixed magnetic field to a Faraday rotator in an in-plane direction to magnetically saturate the Faraday rotator and a solenoid coil for applying a variable magnetic field to the Faraday rotator in a direction of the optical axis. A fixed magnetic field is applied in the <211> direction, in which the Faraday rotator is likely to be magnetically saturated. The Faraday rotator can be saturated with a low magnetic field of about 100 Oe. The permanent magnets may employ ferrite permanent magnets, which have weak magnetic forces. A variable magnetic field may also be reduced. Therefore, an air-core coil can be used. | 05-16-2013 |
