  • Publication number: 20240173847
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for recognizing a motion of a user are provided. The apparatus may map each of right leg angle information and left leg angle information to context information by comparing each of the right leg angle information and left leg angle information to a comparison value and/or preset threshold, may generate a motion event corresponding to the context information based on a criterion, and may recognize the motion of the user based on the motion event and a previous motion of the user.

  • Patent number: 11971532
    Abstract: A microlens array-based ultrathin microscope is provided. The microlens array-based ultrathin microscope includes a filter unit configured to selectively transmit fluorescence manifested in a measurement sample, and an image unit configured to acquire an image from light transmitted by the filter unit. The filter unit is formed to be in contact with or spaced apart from one surface of a transparent substrate, and the image unit includes a microlens array formed on an opposite surface to the transparent substrate in which the filter unit is formed, and an image sensor configured to collect image information of the microlens array.

  • Patent number: 11927890
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a photoresist coater applying a photoresist film on a substrate, a humidifier increasing an amount of moisture in an ambient to which the photoresist film on the substrate is exposed, and an exposer irradiating the photoresist film exposed to the ambient having the increased amount of moisture with light. The humidifier is disposed between the photoresist coater and the exposer.

  • Patent number: 11818473
    Abstract: An ultrathin camera device is provided. The ultrathin camera device comprises an optical module including a microlens array in which microlenses are arranged, an image sensor that outputs electrical image signals by sensing light coming through the microlens array, spacers that form a focal length by separating the optical module from the image sensor, and a processor that outputs a final image by reconstructing array images generated from the image signals with a designated imaging process depending on a distance at which the object is located. Here, each microlens convexly protrudes toward the image sensor.

  • Patent number: 10776645
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing biometric information includes a light emitting unit that emits a first light ray, a light receiving unit that receives a second light ray, where the second light ray includes a portion of the first light ray reflected by a body of a user, and an optical layer placed over the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit. The optical layer has a first surface facing the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit and a second surface opposite the first surface. The optical layer further includes an asymmetrical protrusion structure formed on the first surface or the second surface and including a plurality of asymmetrical protrusion units. The optical layer may further include a symmetrical protrusion structure formed on the first surface or the second surface opposite the asymmetrical protrusion structure and including a plurality of symmetrical protrusion units.
