Abstract: The electronic device for recommending an AI-based melanoma biopsy site according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a processor which classifies a skin image that is input by using a classification model as melanoma or nevus, identifies melanoma features in the skin image by using a generation model when the skin image is classified as melanoma to generate an image from which the melanoma features are removed, and compares the skin image with the generated image to identify at least one candidate biopsy site.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) wherein a plurality of active agents are conjugated to an antibody through at least one branched linker. The branched linker may comprise a branching unit, and two active agents are coupled to the branching unit through a secondary linker and the branching unit is coupled to the antibody by a primary linker. The active agents may be the same or different. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g., 2-4 branched linkers, which may each be coupled to a different C-terminal cysteine of a heavy or light chain of the antibody. The branched linker may comprise one active agent coupled to the branching unit by a first branch and a second branch that comprises a polyethylene glycol moiety coupled to the branching unit. In certain such embodiments, two or more such branched linkers are conjugated to the antibody, e.g.

Abstract: An apparatus for predicting performance of a wheel in a vehicle: includes a learning device that generates a latent space for a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) wheel images based on a convolutional autoencoder (CAE), extracts a predetermined number of the plurality of 2D wheel images from the latent space, and learns a dataset having the plurality of 2D wheel images and performance values corresponding to the plurality of 2D wheel images; and a controller that predicts performance for the plurality of 2D wheel images based on a performance prediction model obtained by the learning device.

Abstract: A vehicle body includes a floor member, a support member coupled to an upper surface of the floor member, and a frame member coupled to an upper end of the support member to define a space between the floor member and the frame member, wherein the space is configured to house an item. The item may include a high-voltage battery.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a filter. According to the present disclosure, there is provided a filter including: an upper body whose interior is filled with a filter medium; a lower body located under the upper body in such a manner as to be open on top and bottom thereof; and an escape prevention member located inside the lower body to allow sludge and a fluid to be introduced into the lower body and to prevent the sludge from escaping from the lower body, wherein the escape prevention member may include: a support plate fixed to the inside of the lower body and having a through hole formed at the center thereof; a center pipe fixed to top of the support plate and having a lower hole formed on the bottom thereof in such a manner as to communicate with the through hole and at least one or more connection holes formed on one side thereof; and a backflow prevention ball movable inside the center pipe in such a manner as to selectively open and close the lower hole to prevent the fluid from flowing back.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for restoring color of an input image. The method includes: separating multiple band information of a near infrared (NIR) channel from information of the input image by using a correlation between a color channel and the NIR channel in the input image; obtaining estimated invisible light band information of the NIR channel from the multiple band information of the NIR channel and estimated multiple band information of the NIR channel which is estimated from the color channel; estimating invisible light band information of the color channel based on the estimated invisible light band information of the NIR channel; and restoring a visible light band image of the color channel by removing the estimated invisible light band information of the color channel from multiple band information of the color channel included in the information of the input image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ice maker-driving device for a refrigerator and a method for operating the same wherein the ice-making container connected to the ice-separating lever and rotated by initial circuit set is reversely rotated before forward rotation and has a protruded coupling part having a predetermined angle formed on the other side thereof, without any cooperation with the ice-separating lever, so as to be coupled with a case-fixing part, thereby allowing the ice-making container to be twistedly rotated at one side thereof according to the reverse rotation of the ice-separating lever, such that the separation of ice cubes is conducted and also the stress and tense state of the parts caused by their freezing are removed to prevent their malfunction, thereby efficiently achieving the ice-separating and storing operations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a plunger switch for electric appliances, which is mounted to an electric appliance to control a lamp, a motor, a heater, etc. and has enhanced safety and electrical and mechanical properties, thus maintaining the original condition of the switch without reduction of elasticity or deformation of the switch, even if the switch is repeatedly used. Thereby, the operational reliability is increased and malfunctions caused by arc discharge are prevented. Unlike the sliding structure which does not use another separate contact point, this invention can be adapted to a high-current or high-temperature switch. Further, this invention has a hook, thus allowing easy assembly and replacement of the plunger switch to a proper position on an electric appliance.
