Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus is provided. The surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus includes a light irradiation unit configured to irradiate polarized light onto a metal coating film provided on one surface of a prism, a light modulator configured to spatially pattern-encode light reflected by the metal coating film and the prism, a light detector configured to detect a pattern-encoded light signal, obtained through pattern-encoding by the light modulator, as a spectral signal, a signal processor configured to spatially decode the spectral signal and analyze a decoded spectral signal to generate characteristic data of a sample provided on the metal coating film, and an output unit configured to output the characteristic data of the sample as a two-dimensional (2D) image.

Abstract: There is provided a ferritic lightweight steel which contains 2.0 to 3.0 wt % manganese (Mn), 5.0 to 6.0 wt % aluminum (Al) and 0.1 to 0.3 wt % carbon (C) and has a tensile strength of 900 MPa to 1,108 MPa. The lightweight steel includes ferrite-austenite dual grains as a result of performing low-temperature tempering-induced partitioning (LTP) at 300° C. for 10 minutes after isothermal annealing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a battery residual value evaluation system, which includes a measurement unit that measures a voltage and a current of an external battery to generate a voltage signal and a current signal, a resistance calculation unit that generates a resistance value, a resistance change value, and a resistance change rate of the external battery for each of charging and discharging cycles of the external battery based on the voltage signal and the current signal, an external input unit that receives reference ranges from an outside, a determination unit that determines a battery residual value based on whether the resistance value, the resistance change value, and the resistance change rate fall within the reference ranges, respectively, and an output unit that outputs the determination result to the outside.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automotive transmission which includes shift lever which moves in a first direction and a second direction to select a shift position and a shift mode selection unit which is installed at one side of the shift lever to select a shift mode. Additionally, the disclosed automotive transmission also includes a shift blocking unit which selectively blocks movement of the shift lever in the first direction and the second direction such that a shift position of the selected shift mode is selected.

Abstract: An accelerator pedal apparatus, in which pedal effort can be varied through length variation of a spring. Stroke of a pedal arm can be varied in accordance with inclination and body type of driver.

Abstract: A cup holder includes: a support housing; an elevator housing, movable within the support housing; a cup bearing tray, movable within the elevator housing; and an elevator unit that moves the elevator housing and the cup bearing tray in opposite directions. The elevator unit includes: a main gear that is linked with the cup bearing tray and is pivotably installed on the support housing, a rack gear that is linked with the elevator housing, and a driven gear that is engaged between the main gear and the rack gear.

Abstract: An armrest console box for a vehicle, having a button, a button housing moved horizontally by the button, a coil spring elastically biasing a rear portion of the button housing forwards, a knob protruding from a predetermined portion of the button housing, a locking member rotated by the knob, and a locking projection of a main body hooked onto a hook provided on a lower end portion of the locking member, may include: an insertion hole formed in the knob in such a way as to vertically pass through the knob; and an insertion protrusion protruding horizontally from an outer surface of an upper end portion of the locking member, and then bent perpendicularly at an end, the bent end being inserted into the insertion hole.

Abstract: An impact absorption structure for a steering column cover for a vehicle, which is capable of minimizing injury to a driver's knee as well as driver's chest by achieving certain deformation in an impact absorption structure when a load is applied due to an impact on the steering column cover. The impact absorption structure is adapted to a bolt mounting structure in which upper and lower steering column covers are assembled using bolts.
