Abstract: A charging apparatus having a safety circuit and a method thereof is disclosed. The charging apparatus (100) includes a charging terminal unit (110) having terminals exposed to the outside to supply a charging voltage therethrough, a voltage generating unit (120) to generate a voltage which varies as a value of resistivity of an object contacting the terminals of the charging terminal unit (110), and a control unit (130) to detect the voltage generated from the voltage generating unit (120), and to determine whether the charging voltage should be supplied through the charging terminal unit (110) on the basis of a level of the detected voltage. The charging apparatus (100) determines whether the charging voltage should be supplied, by using a voltage produced according to a value of resistivity of a mobile robot cleaner, so that it supplies the charging voltage to the mobile robot cleaner only when the mobile robot cleaner comes in contact with the terminals therewith, and it blocks the charging voltage from being supplied to a conductor or a metal object, such as metal chopsticks, when the conductor or the metal object comes in contact with the terminals therewith. Accordingly, a danger of fire or electric shock by the terminals exposed to the outside is reduced, thereby enabling only the mobile robot cleaner to safely charge.

IPC: H04B1/02
Filed: 2006-09-18
Abstract: A method is disclosed that is performed in an apparatus having a receiver including a number of modules. The method includes receiving information in a reception frequency band. Responsive to a notification from a transmitter of a transmission in a predetermined transmission frequency band, at least one countermeasure is performed by at least one of modules. The at least one countermeasure is predetermined to reduce an effect of interference caused by transmission on reception of the information in the reception frequency band. Exemplary countermeasures include freezing an automatic gain control loop, freezing a synchronization loop, discarding channel estimation data, and blanking received information. Certain criteria, such as transmission power and transmission mode may also be used to determine whether and how many countermeasures are to be used. Additionally, handover is improved by waiting until transmission is complete to determine receiver signal strength of signals from potential transmitters for handover.
