Abstract: Disclosed are novel compounds of Chemical Formula 1, optical isomers of the compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or the optical isomers. The compounds, isomers, and salts exhibit excellent activity as GLP-1 receptor agonists. In particular, they, as GLP-1 receptor agonists, exhibit excellent glucose tolerance, thus having a great potential to be used as therapeutic agents for metabolic diseases. Moreover, they exhibit excellent pharmacological safety for cardiovascular systems.

Abstract: An inspection apparatus for inspecting the appearance of an inspection target object is provided. The inspection apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a support part configured to hold an inspection target object such that a side surface of the inspection target object faces a predetermined direction, a light source configured to irradiate light toward the inspection target object, a diffusion reflector configured to diffusely reflect at least a part of the irradiated light to irradiate the reflected light to the side surface of the inspection target object, and at least one inspection part configured to inspect the inspection target object by receiving the light reflected from the inspection target object and the diffusion reflector.

Abstract: Disclosed are a pattern light irradiating device and an inspection apparatus using the same. The pattern light irradiating device includes first and second pattern light sources installed on a frame having a plurality of through-holes. Each of the through-holes is formed along a single optical axis. The first pattern light source is configured to irradiate first pattern light having a fixed pitch. The second pattern light source is configured to irradiate second pattern light having a variable pitch.

Abstract: A data receiving apparatus and method includes a current-voltage conversion block, which receives a current-type transmit signal including data and a clock signal inserted into the data at a different level from the data, and then converts the received signal into at least one first voltage and at least one second voltage having a different level from the first voltage, and a comparison block, which makes a comparison between the first and second voltages, and then outputs the received signal as one of the data and the clock signal based on a result of the comparison. The data receiving apparatus can easily recover a clock signal while exhibiting better characteristics during the recovery of the clock signal because it is insensitive to a variation in reference voltage and a variation in current at the transmitting state of the timing controller, which are caused by a process variation.

Abstract: A source driver and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device having the same. A source driver may carry a clock in a data current, and may recover a clock signal and/or a data signal without being substantially affected by external frequencies and/or resistance. A source driver may include a trans-impedance amplifier which may receive data currents, convert data currents into voltages, and/or output voltages as data voltages and/or clock voltages. A source driver may include a comparator electrically coupled to a trans-impedance amplifier, which may change levels of data and/or clock voltages applied from a trans-impedance amplifier, and/or may output level-changed voltages as data signals and/or a clock signal.

Abstract: A data transmitting device and a data receiving device are disclosed. The data transmitting device may include a clock signal generator for generating a clock signal, and a transmitter for generating a transmission signal having the clock signal inserted in a data signal, wherein the clock signal has only a single differential element, and the data signal has two differential elements with an amplitude identical to an amplitude of the clock signal. The clock signal may be embedded and the clock signal may be restored by using the common element of the data signal without any auxiliary reference voltage. As a result, only the data signal line may be used between the data transmitting device and the data receiving device, to reduce the number of transmitting lines. Furthermore, the data transmitting and receiving devices according to embodiments will not need a reference voltage. As a result, the clock signal may be restored smoothly even if the size of the data signal is changing.
