Abstract: Natural killer cells are differentiated to an intraepithelial innate lymphoid cells (ielLC1)-like cell, with an increase in cytotoxic activity. Specifically, the disclosure provides a method for differentiating mammalian natural killer cells to adapt an ielLC1-like phenotype, the method comprising: differentiating peripheral natural killer (NK) cells in the presence of IL-15 and epithelial cells or plate coatings that mimic features of epithelial cells, to generate CD49a+ CD103+ cells having features and phenotype of ielLC1s, with enhanced cytotoxic activity and expression of Th1 type cytokines.

Abstract: Provided is a remote control apparatus using a menu markup language, which arranges, within an area, a virtual menu map for controlling electronic devices from menu map information that is defined by a menu markup language (MenuXml) having an extensible markup language (XML) format, extracts control information corresponding to motion information of a user generated within the area from the menu map information, and transmits the extracted control information to the electronic devices.

Abstract: There are provided a serial bus communication method and a bus interface device showing excellent performance when a medium with low conductivity is used. The serial bus communication method includes: retrieving available transmission rate to a destination node to which data will be transmitted from a transmission rate table whenever transmitting data through a bus; setting data rate for transmitting the data to the destination node by using the retrieved available transmission rate when the available transmission rate to the destination node is retrieved in the transmission rate table; and transmitting the data at the data rate. Accordingly, transmission performance is improved on a network using a medium with low conductivity.

Abstract: There are provided a multimodal fusion apparatus capable of remotely controlling a number of electronic devices and a method for remotely controlling a number of electronic devices in the multimodal fusion apparatus. In accordance with the present invention, instead of one input device, such as a remote control or the like, multimodal commands, such as user-familiar voice, gesture and the like, are used to remotely control a number of electronic devices equipped at home or within a specific space. That is, diverse electronic devices are controlled in the same manner by the multimodal commands. When a new electronic device is added, control commands thereof are automatically configured to control the new electronic device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a velcro connector, which uses a hook of a velcro tape attached to a garment, etc. and a loop to transfer electric signals by being electrically connected upon coupling the hook and the loop. With the present invention, the difficulty of the line connection upon implementing electronic circuits on a garment can be solved by providing an integrated connector rather than separately mounting a mechanical connector on a garment. Therefore, it makes it possible to easily implement a wearable computer by using an integrated connector on a garment, etc. In addition, a plurality of electronic circuits mounted on a garment, etc. and the existing electronic devices are freely connected to each other by providing the connector that can be easily separated and coupled, thereby making it possible to increase user convenience.

Abstract: Provided are a wrist-worn input apparatus and method. The apparatus and method can segment meaningful hand gestures using a vibration sound generated by a finger tapping and can issue commands corresponding to the recognized hand gestures, enabling the user to easily input commands to electronic devices.

Abstract: A wearable system and a method for transferring and controlling information/service based on biologically generated information from a user are provided. In the method, an intuitive bio signal generated by a user is sensed and a device pointed by the sensed bio signal is selected. Then, bio signal information is created using the sensed bio signal and the generated bio signal information is transmitted to the selected device. After transmitting, the information/service is transferred to the selected device after confirming that the selected device that receives the bio signal information is activated.

Abstract: An ultrasmall portable computer apparatus includes a communication unit for communication with peripheral devices, and a storage unit for storing an identification information list of the peripheral devices and at least one program. A control unit compares identification information provided through the communication unit from a peripheral device with the identification information list and executing part or all of the programs according to the comparison result.
