Abstract: A plasma display panel includes X and Y
electrodes (11,12) formed on a substrate, address
electrodes formed in a direction intersecting the X
and Y electrodes (11,12) and a dielectric layer (13)
covering the X and Y electrodes (11,12). In addition a protective layer (14) covers the dielectric layer (13).
The driving method thereof includes the steps of generating an address
discharge between the X (12) and the address electrode
to select a predetermined cell and of generating sustain discharges
between the X (12) and the Y (11) electrode to
produce light for display. In order to prevent variations in the surface characteristics of the protective layer, the plasma
display panel may be controlled such that the discharge intensity of a
sustain discharge (200b) in which the Y electrode
(11) serves as the anode is smaller than that in which the X
electrode (12) serves as the anode, or the Y electrode may be
made wider than the X electrode, or the dielectric layer above the Y electrode be of greater thickness above the Y electrode.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fast inverse discrete
cosine transform (IDCT) are provided. The fast IDCT
method includes: (a) searching all elements of a discrete
cosine transform (DCT) matrix in a predetermined order for
non-zero elements; and (b) calculating the restored value
of each element of a restoration matrix, by 2 dimensional-inverse
DCT (2D-IDCT) transforming the non-zero elements
of the DCT matrix by using the symmetry of an IDCT
formula. According to the method and apparatus,
unnecessary computation for 0's that are the majority of
elements in a DCT matrix can be reduced to the minimum in
performing the IDCT transform. In addition, even when the
number of elements having effective values is large in a
DCT matrix, the amount of computation is greatly reduced
by using the symmetry of a DCT formula such that the
method shows an excellent performance when statistically
compared to the conventional fast DCT algorithms.

Abstract: A column transformation for an encryption application is effected using XOR operations. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, an input column of bytes is transformed for the AES algorithm (110, 120, 130). An output column of transformed bytes is provided by logically combining (120) (e.g., XORing) at least one bit from each byte in the input column. The transformed bytes may be implemented with the MixColumns transformation for the AES algorithm, such that the logical combination discussed above is used in place of the logical combination and multiplication used in the MixColumns transformation. With this approach, the Finite Field multiplication specified in the MixColumns transformation can be avoided and an equivalent transformation can be effected using only a single type of logic combination.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and device for adaptive modulation and coding based on second order statistics of channel information in OFDM system, characterized in that, by means of variance of Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) an appropriate adaptation time window is selected dynamically to trace time-varying channel better; and in that a decision criterion of second order, namely selecting an appropriate modulation and coding schemes (MCS) according to average value of SNR and variance of SNR, is employed to obtain accurate mapping from SNR to MCS. The mapping enhances practicability of the adaptive modulation and coding, decreases probability of system outage, and thus results in better performance of bit error rate.

Abstract: The invention provides a two-phase hash value matching technique in message protection systems. This invention further improves the performance of message protection systems by avoiding computations associated with sophisticated signature hash value (SSHV) where possible. A message protection system that implements the two-phase hash value matching technique caches rough outline hash values (ROHVs) of previously scanned objects. The system can roughly distinguish one object from another using ROHVs. The system performs an initial check using ROHVs before performing the relatively time-consuming computations associated with SSHVs.
