| 20090018681 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING REPRODUCTION OF MEDIA SIGNAL USING TAG - A method and apparatus to control reproduction of a media signal by using a tag includes receiving a request for generating tag information for controlling the reproduction of the media signal using a tag, generating the tag information according to the request for generating tag information, and storing the generated tag information in a tag. The tag information is generated independently from an original media signal and is used in controlling the media signal, and thus the reproduction of the media signal can be controlled without editing the media signal. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20090048358 | PLGA/Hydroxyapatite Composite Biomaterial and Method of Making the Same - Tissue engineering is a growing field where new materials are being developed for implantation into the body. One important area involves bone graft materials to replace areas of bone lost to trauma or disease. Traditionally, graft material may be harvested from the bone of the individual receiving the graft material. However, this requires an additional surgery and additional recovery. Bone also may be taken from others, or even cadavers, but this introduces biocompatibility problems as well as the risk of disease transfer. Ideally, a biocompatible material is sought that will act as a filler with appropriate mechanical strength, encourage bone healing, and degrade to allow new bone ingrowth without the risk of disease transfer. The present invention is a new composite bone graft material made from biocompatible poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and nano-sized hydroxyapatite particles exposed on its surface using a gas foaming particle leaching (GF/PL) method. A further embodiment of this invention involves coating this PLGA/hydroxyapatite biomaterial with an adherent, fast, uniform coating of a mineral such as apatite. The PLGA polymer portion of the composite provides sufficient mechanical strength to replace bone and is degradable over time to allow new bone tissue ingrowth. The incorporated hydroxyapatite particles increase the composite material's osteogenic properties by providing sites for tissue attachment and propagation. Finally, a uniform coating of mineral apatite on the surface of this novel biomaterial composite further enhances its osteogenic qualities. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20090058885 | ADAPTIVE VIDEO PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF SCALING VIDEO BASED ON SCREEN SIZE OF DISPLAY DEVICE - Provided are an apparatus for processing adaptive video and a method of scaling video, which generate a graphical user interface (GUI) so that a GUI suitable for the screen size of a display device can be displayed according to the screen size of the display device. The apparatus can realize a GUI most suitable for the screen size of an external display device connected to the apparatus by enlarging or reducing the size of the GUI according to the screen size of the external display device, or by changing the arrangement of items arranged on the GUI. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100171698 | DIGITAL TELEVISION AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING CONTENTS USING THE SAME - A DTV and a method of displaying content using the same are provided. a DTV includes: a plurality of first and second display units physically isolated from each other; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external remote control; and a control unit configured to move a content between the first and second display units in response to a motion of the remote control sensed by a signal received from the remote control through the communication unit. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100171765 | DIGITAL TELEVISION AND METHOD OF DISPLAYING CONTENTS USING THE SAME - A DTV and a method of displaying content using the same are provided. The DTV includes: a plurality of display units physically isolated from each other; and a control unit configured to, if a predetermined first event has occurred, move a content displayed on the first display unit among the plurality of display units and display the content on the second display unit among the plurality of display units, wherein the control unit is configured to control the display of the content such that the movement process of the content is visually recognized. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100246069 | HARD DISK DRIVE - An HDD includes a head stack assembly, a voice coil motor, and a retracting pin unit. The retracting pin unit includes a mobile retracting pin generating a retracting force to maintain the actuator arm at a predetermined position by interacting with the magnet when the read/write head is parked, and coupled to the bobbin to be capable of relatively moving with respect to the bobbin toward the magnet when the bobbin is separated from the magnet due to an external shock. A head on disk phenomenon, in which the parking state of the read/write head is removed when an external shock such as a linear shock or a rotary shock, which may be generated as the HDD is installed in a notebook computer, is applied to the HDD, may be reduced. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100246070 | HEAD STACK ASSEMBLY AND HARD DISK DRIVE HAVING THE SAME - A hard disk drive includes a head stack assembly including a read/write head mounted thereon and an actuator arm pivoting over a disk around a pivot shaft installed on a base, a pivot shaft holder rotatably supporting the pivot shaft and to which the actuator arm is coupled, and a bobbin provided at the opposite side of the actuator arm with respect to the pivot shaft holder and having a voice coil motor coil installed on at least one surface thereof, a crash stop coupled to the base and restricting displacement of the actuator arm, and a contact area reduction portion provided on at least one of the bobbin and the crash stop and including at least one non-contact section, in which the bobbin and the crash stop do not contact each other, in a contact section of the bobbin and the crash stop, when the bobbin and crash stop contact each other, to reduce the contact area between the bobbin and the crash stop. | 09-30-2010 |
