A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a control logic circuit. The control logic circuit controls access to the memory cell array based on a command and an address. The semiconductor memory device performs a write operation to write data in the memory cell array and performs a read operation to read data from the memory cell array in synchronization with a clock signal from an external memory controller. The semiconductor memory device performs the write operation and the read operation in different data strobe modes in which the semiconductor memory device uses different numbers of data strobe signals according to a frequency of the clock signal.

Semiconductor memory devices and methods of operating the same

A method is provided. The method includes in response to a new query or new input data being input, calculating a required minimum number of cycles per unit time which corresponds to the minimum number of cycles per unit time that is required to process the new query or the new input data, selecting a query to execute first, calculating the number of cycles to be processed during the time period set in advance by multiplying the calculated, required minimum number of cycles per unit time with a time period that is allocated to process the selected query or the input data and is set in advance, and putting a system into a dormant state for a remaining period of time in response to the calculated number of cycles being completely executed within the time period set in advance.

Method of reducing power consumption of system software using query scheduling of application and apparatus for reducing power consumption using the method

Provided are method and device for managing a memory in a data stream management system (DSMS) of a portable device. The method includes moving data of a selected memory region that has a low priority to a secondary storage and storing a received data stream in the selected memory region.

Method and portable device for managing memory in a data stream management system using priority information

A memory apparatus and an operation of the memory apparatus which allow quick booting are provided. The memory apparatus includes a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, and a memory control unit to control input/output of data stored in the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory. The memory control unit restores data, according to a control command input from outside of the memory apparatus, from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory in an on-demand fashion during booting.

Memory apparatus and method therefor

Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling load shedding for excluding data streams input into a data stream management system (DSMS). A method of selecting data not to be in the data process may be determined. A load shedding factor may also be determined. Data streams of the data process may be processed by applying the method of selecting the data according to the load shedding factor.

Method and apparatus for controlling load shedding in data stream management system

An apparatus and a method of optimizing queries through scheduling User Defined Operators (UDOs) in a Data Stream Management System (DSMS), are provided. The apparatus includes a query optimizer configured to receive queries, each of the queries including the UDOs and data streams subject to respective operations of the UDOs, and group the data streams and UDOs into scheduling units, each of the scheduling units including one of the data streams and one of the UDOs. The apparatus further includes a scheduler configured to schedule an execution order in which the scheduling units are executed.

Apparatus and method for scheduling user defined operator (UDO) in data stream management system (DSMS)

A lesion diagnosis apparatus and method to determine a regularity of a shape of a lesion are provided. The lesion diagnosis apparatus to determine a regularity of a shape of a lesion, includes a lesion area detecting unit configured to form a lesion area by selecting virtual points along a boundary of a lesion included in an image, and a lesion diagnosing unit configured to determine the regularity of the shape of the lesion by analyzing a correlation of the selected virtual points.

Lesion diagnosis apparatus and method to determine regularity of shape of lesion

Disclosed is a file accessing method of a file system which manages data by a block unit of a fixed size having an index and provides information associated with a file via a plurality of entries having an index and linked information of each of blocks forming the file. The file accessing method includes providing a hint information area to each of the plurality of entries so as to record an access mode or continuous allocation information for the file, allocating the plurality of blocks to record contents of the file, and recording the access mode in each of the hint information areas of entries corresponding to a first chain group of the allocated blocks and the continuous allocation information in the hint information area of at least one entry corresponding to a second chain group of the allocated blocks.

File access method and system

An electrostatic discharge apparatus for a touch key. A need for a conductive material or a ground layer included in the touch key is removed and a ground pattern portion is formed to prevent damage caused by static electricity introduced into the touch key. The electrostatic discharge apparatus for a touch key having a touch sensing unit and a connector unit extending from one end of the touch sensing unit includes a ground pattern portion having at least one ground pattern, which is included in the touch key and formed on a static-electricity path of the touch key, and a conduction-processing portion connecting the ground patterns with each other and connected with a main body, thereby removing a need for a ground layer provided along an internal circumference of a conventional touch sensing unit, reducing cost by not including EMI paint on the entire surface of the touch key, and preventing static electricity from being introduced into internal circuits of the touch key by causing static electricity introduced into the ground pattern portion to be discharged without passing through the internal circuits of the touch key, thus improving the stability and durability of the touch key.

Electrostatic discharge apparatus for touch key

A speaker device for a portable terminal including a first housing and a second housing coupled to the first housing and rotating towards or away from the first housing while facing the first housing. The speaker device includes a speaker unit mounted in the second housing, first sound output holes formed in the second housing, and second sound output holes formed in the first housing. When the second housing is folded to the first housing, a sound output from the speaker unit is guided into the first housing through the first sound output holes, travels inside the first housing and is output through the second sound output holes. In the speaker device for the portable terminal, the speaker unit and the resonating space are separately positioned in the housings, thereby providing a mellow volume and a high-quality sound and contributing to slimness of the portable terminal.
