A method for equalizing audio and a video apparatus using the audio equalizing method are provided. The method for equalizing audio includes detecting the distance between a speaker mounted in a video apparatus and a reflective surface, and equalizing an audio signal to be output from the speaker based on the detected distance. Accordingly, attenuation of audio output is reduced, so audio output is optimized.

A method and system for predicting gate reliability. The method comprises the steps of stressing a gate dielectric test site to obtain gate dielectric test site data and using the test site data to predict gate reliability. Preferably, the test structure and the product structure are integrated in such a manner that a test site occupies some of the product area and the product itself occupies the remainder of the product area. A preferred methodology, more specifically, is as follows: (1) Test structures at start both in parallel stress mode and in ring oscillator or “product” mode; (2) Analyze the breakdown data as per the present state of the art for each of the areas based on the parallel stress mode; (3) Combine the above breakdown distributions using the area scaling to improve the confidence bounds of the Weibull slope of the cumulative distribution function; (4) Test the ring oscillators in the product mode to determine how many of the stress fails are also product fails as defined by an operational degradation; (5) Subdivide the failures to determine the relationship between the first fail, and the second fail, and the nth fail; (6) Investigate which stress fail, if not the first stress fail, is more likely to cause a product fail as defined by operational degradation; and (7) Based on the subdivision in step 5 and the results in step 6, make projection based on that fail which is most likely to cause fail. The methodology as outlined above bridges between dielectric stress fails and product degradation both in the case of each stress fail causing a product degradation, as well as in the case where more than one stress fail occurs before any product degradation occurs. And this relationship can be quantified.

The present invention discloses a current sensing circuit and method of a high-speed driving stage, which comprises an input stage, a level converting unit, a feedback unit, a current mirror unit and a current shunting unit. The current sensing circuit is capable of linearly detecting the output current of the driving stage transistors, and directly condensing the detected current to an appropriate value using the geometric ratio of the transistors, so as to facilitate the subsequent signal processing circuit to use it for control purposes.

In seat rows, in particular in aircraft, the individual seats thereof being able to be adjusted in their usable seat width, and comprising seat dividers with support legs, which are held by spars running transversely to the seat direction, at least one seat divider may be adjusted in the direction of the spars.
