The first portion or the second portion has a smaller height than the third portion in the winding axis direction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for regenerating nerve cells and suppressing immune diseases, and more particularly, to a device for regenerating nerve cells and suppressing immune diseases, which uses a contact lens containing a conductive material to increase the effect of microcurrent on nerve cell regeneration and immune response suppression. The device for regenerating nerve cells and suppressing immune diseases comprises: a contact lens comprising a body configured to be worn on a cornea, and a conductive material inserted into the body and serving to induce a microcurrent generated outside the body; a plurality of channels configured to come into close contact with skins around eyes and to generate a flow of microcurrent on upper part of the contact lens; and a signal supply unit configured to supply electrical signals to the plurality of channels.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly, a battery, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. In the electrode assembly, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed therebetween are wound based on an axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes an uncoated portion at a long side end thereof and exposed out of the separator along a winding axis direction of the electrode assembly. A part of the uncoated portion is bent in a radial direction of the electrode assembly to form a bending surface region that includes overlapping layers of the uncoated portion, and in a partial region of the bending surface region, the number of stacked layers of the uncoated portion is 10 or more in the winding axis direction of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a display device, which may be fabricated using a described method. The display device includes a glass substrate including a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a side surface between the first surface and the second surface, an outermost structure on the first surface of the glass substrate and located adjacent to an edge of one side of the glass substrate, and a display area including a plurality of light emitting areas on the first surface of the glass substrate and located farther from the edge of the one side of the glass substrate than the outermost structure is. A minimum distance from the side surface of the glass substrate to the outermost structure is equal to 130 ?m or less.

Abstract: Provided is a torsion bar support structure of a seat belt retractor capable of smoothly rotating a rotary torsion bar and preventing deformation of the torsion bar due to moment applied to the torsion bar by coupling support members to both ends of the torsion bar. The torsion bar support structure of a seat belt retractor includes a housing constituting a main body of the seat belt retractor, a guide drum rotatably coupled to the housing, a torsion bar inserted into the guide drum, a base member fixed to one side of the housing, a locking member fixed to the other side of the housing, and a cylinder accommodating a piston therein to rotate a gear member fixed to the base member, the structure including: a bearing member coupled to the gear member, and a cap surrounding a cover fixing shaft projecting from the locking member, wherein the bearing member and the cap rotatably support the torsion bar when rotation moment is applied in a circumferential direction and an axial direction of the torsion bar.

Abstract: An instrumented capsule for nuclear fuel irradiation tests in research reactors includes an outer shell; a rod tip assembly assembled to a lower end plate of the shell, thus absorbing impact; fuel rod assemblies supported in the shell by means of support tubes and housing therein, sintered fuel bodies and in-capsule instruments, such as thermocouples and self-powered neutron detectors (SPND); a protective tube connected to the upper end plate and protecting instrument control cables; and a guide pipe connected to the inclined extension part of a junction tree and guiding the instrument control cables to a control unit provided outside the reactor.

Abstract: An instrumented capsule for material irradiation tests in research reactors. The instrumented capsule performs an optimum material irradiation test under a testing environment similar to the operational environment of a real reactor. The capsule minimizes the influence of flow-induced vibration caused by forced-circulation-type coolant flow in a research reactor, and overcomes the problems experienced in the conventional breakable parts of instrumented capsules which may be broken during the process of loading/unloading the capsules in vertical irradiation holes of reactor pools. The instrumented capsule includes a capsule main body installed in the vertical irradiation hole. The capsule main body consists of a shell and several instruments, such as thermocouples, dosimeters, a vacuum control pipe, and heaters housed in the shell.
