Filed: 2005-04-07
Abstract: An apparatus and method for switching between an AMC mode and a diversity mode adaptively according to a channel environment in a broadband wireless communication system are provided. According to the present invention, a transmitter (a base station) determines a transmission mode according to frequency-domain and time-domain channel measurement information received from a receiver (a mobile station). If the transmission mode is the AMC mode, the transmitter selects a coding and modulation scheme according to a frequency-domain CQI received from the receiver. If the transmission mode is a diversity mode, the transmitter selects a predetermined coding and modulation scheme.

Abstract: A method of data packet communication. The method includes the step of transmitting CQI in response to an inactive state. The step of transmitting CQI may include receiving an incoming signal associated with one or more real time duplex services, such as voice over IP ("VoIP"), gaming and/or two-way video applications, for example. Thereafter, the method includes the step of pausing the transmission of CQI in response to a break period in the inactive state. The break period may be initiated by transmitting an outgoing signal associated with at least one real time duplex service, such as voice over IP ("VoIP"), gaming and/or two-way video applications, for example. Moreover, the step of pausing may include receiving a do-not-transmit signal to initiate the break period.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a motor (40) in a washing machine, which includes a speed sensor (50) for measuring speed of the motor, and a controller (60) that compares the measured speed with a target speed to estimate a motor power applied to the motor, adjusts a running rate of the motor according to the comparison, and controls the motor according to the adjusted running rate. The motor power is estimated based on the motor speed, and the running rate is adjusted down if the estimated motor power is too high, thereby preventing overheating of the motor and an inverter, which may be caused in wash or rinse cycles. The apparatus can be implemented without using a temperature sensor, thereby reducing economic burden. Further, the motor does not stop due to an increase in the temperature of the motor, thereby preventing an unnecessary increase in the time required to complete washing.

Abstract: The conventional ramp mechanism constituting a load/unload mechanism for a magnetic disk is disadvantageous for increasing a storage capacity since an outer peripheral edge of the disk is not used as a data area. 
     A disk drive has a solenoid (50) and spring (52) for turning a ramp mechanism (30) about a rotating shaft (7). When the drive operates, since the ramp mechanism (30) moves out from the magnetic disk (5) by the tensile force of the solenoid (50), the outer peripheral edge of a magnetic head (18) that has formerly been unusable can be used as a data read/write region, without the magnetic head (18) interfering with the fins of the ramp mechanism (30). During a non-operating state of the drive and in case of a power interruption, the tensile force of the spring (52) returns the ramp mechanism (30) to a position at which the magnetic head (18) can be unloaded. This construction allows the storage capacity of the drive to be easily increased without sacrificing the shock resistance of the ramp mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor gas sensor and a manufacturing method for the same, enabling suppression of threshold voltage fluctuation without giving any damage to a gate insulating film when a transistor structure (314) is formed at first in a field effect transistor type of gas sensor and then an electrode (425) with a material responsive to a gas to be detected is formed. 
     The gate insulating film is a film stack including at least an SiO 2  film (104;402) and an SRN (Si-rich nitride) film (107;406). The SRN film (107;406) functions as a etching stopper film when the gate insulating film (104;402) is exposed by etching of an inter-layer insulating film (108;412). Pressure resistance of the gate insulating film is preserved with SiO 2 . An electric charge in the SRN film can be removed with a lower voltage as compared to that required for removing an electric charge in the Si 3 N 4  film, which enables suppression of threshold voltage fluctuation in gas sensor transistors.
