Abstract: An apparatus and a method for caring emotion of a driver based on a vehicle sound, may include a detector configured to detect driving information of the vehicle and body information of a user, a non-transitory storage to store instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor determines an emotional status of the driver by use of at least one of the driving information or the body information, to generate a healing sound by designing a virtual sound based on the driving information and the emotional status of the driver, and to generate and output the healing sound.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for effectively preparing mesenchymal-like stem cells, the method including: preparing human pluripotent stem cells cultured to passage 70 or lower after establishment of cell lines; inducing differentiation of the human pluripotent stem cells to produce embryoid bodies and selecting cystic embryoid bodies therefrom; loading the cystic embryoid bodies on a cell-permeable three-dimensional (3D) culture unit to isolate mesenchymal-like stem cells therefrom; isolating only monolayer-shaped cell clusters from the mesenchymal-like stem cells passing through the cell-permeable 3D culture unit; and uniformizing sizes of the monolayer-shaped cell clusters, in which the mesenchymal-like stem cells have anti-inflammatory efficacy and immunosuppression.

Abstract: A secondary battery may include an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly including first and second electrode plates and a separator interposed between the electrode plates; a battery case, the battery case including an accommodating part and a sealing part formed along an edge of the accommodating part, the accommodating part accommodating the electrode assembly; an insulating member attached to the sealing part, the insulating member covering and insulating the sealing part; and an alignment mark on at least one region of the sealing part, the alignment mark identifying a position on the sealing part at which a predetermined portion of the insulating member is aligned, wherein a non-insulating part of the sealing part extends past the insulating member.

Abstract: A secondary battery includes a bare cell including an electrode assembly and a can or a pouch-shaped casing accommodating the electrode assembly and having a stepped portion; a protection circuit board disposed at a side of the bare cell; and a label adhered on a side surface of the bare cell. Further, another secondary battery includes a bare cell; a protection circuit board; an outer case member disposed at a side surface of the bare cell and having a stepped portion; and a label adhered on the outer case member. A label overlapping portion is disposed in the stepped portion formed in an outer surface of a can or a pouch-shaped casing or in an outer case member, and thus it is possible to prevent the secondary battery from being thicker at the label overlapping portion than at other regions and to uniformly maintain the outer thickness of the battery.

The protective circuit board for a battery, which is formed by mounting a number of electrical devices on a board on which a wiring pattern is formed and which is connected to a bare cell so as to protect a battery, comprises a groove formed on a surface of the protective circuit board, and an external connection terminal formed inside the groove.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for skin regeneration, using a culture medium or a secretion in the culture of an embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial progenitor cell, and to the use thereof. As the present invention uses the secretion in the culture as a medicine and not the embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial progenitor cell itself, the risk of teratoma formation is prevented, and angiogenic activity is promoted to achieve improved effectiveness in healing wounds and burn wounds. The composition of the present invention, when used as a material in cosmetics, increases collagen synthesis and thus prevents skin aging. Particularly, the composition of the present invention in which the secretion in the culture is concentrated into a high concentration provides superior wound-healing effects as compared to a conventional human growth hormone (hGH).
