Abstract: In a plasma display apparatus and a driving method thereof, a scan electrode is alternately applied with a positive voltage and a negative voltage, and a sustain electrode is synchronously alternately applied with voltages of opposite polarity to the voltages applied to the scan electrode. The voltages applied synchronously to both the scan electrode and the sustain electrode each have an amplitude 0.5 times that of a voltage required to maintain sustain discharge between the electrodes. Since a sustain process is performed with relatively low voltage, it is possible to reduce production cost, heat generation and power consumption. Also disclosed are driving circuits for the scan and sustain electrodes in which fast recovery diodes are placed between pairs of supply voltage switches in order to prevent short circuiting between the switches of each pair.

Abstract: A method and system enables the selective addressing of groups of broadcast receivers within part of a satellite footprint. It uses two satellites 10,12 having a common transmission band to transmit respective signals, and at receivers 50,50' in the footprint the phases of the signals received from the two satellites are compared. This phase difference is dependent upon receiver location, but by measuring phase difference no absolute timing or phase measurement is required. A common key is generated at the receivers in a certain area. The output of selected receivers 50' is fed back to the broadcast control centre 30 and is used to encode the location-based services for that area. 
     Preferably the operation is conducted on multiple frequencies and in multiple rounds of such frequencies. A multibit keyword can be directly generated at the receivers by use of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and combining its outputs for different rounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display apparatus. The plasma display apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of discharge cells, and a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) in which a unit frame is driven with it being divided into a plurality of subfields, wherein when noise is included in the unit frame, the number of subfields constituting the unit frame, a color temperature and the number of sustain pulses are controlled by adjusting an output gain value of an output data. The plasma display apparatus constructed above according to the present invention checks random noise introduced to an input video data, and controls the number of subfields used in a noise screen by adjusting a gain. Accordingly, there are advantages in that a phenomenon in which heat is generated by a signal input to a data drive IC can be prevented, and damage to the panel, which is incurred by the generation of heat, can be prevented. Furthermore, since a reduced number of subfields can be driven, portions corresponding to extra subfields can be utilized for other purposes. Accordingly, there is an advantage in that driving margin can be enhanced.

Abstract: Improved devices, systems, and methods for inhibiting hyperplasia in blood vessels provide controlled and safe cryotherapy treatment of a target portion within a body lumen of a patient. Efficacy of endoluminal cryogenic cooling can be enhanced by limiting cooling of target tissue using a thermal barrier disposed between a dual balloon cryotherapy catheter. Containment of both balloons can be monitored by applying a vacuum within a space between the first and second ballons, and by coupling the vacuum space to a fluid shutoff so as to inhibit flow of cryogenic fluid in response to a change in the vacuum space. Controlled cooling of the vessel can be improved by use of a nebulizer in fluid communication with a cryogenic liquid lumen and a gas supply lumen.
