  • Publication number: 20100159016
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pain relief composition comprising paramagnetic silver nanoparticles. More specifically, the composition is characterized in that it comprises from 0.03 to 0.05% by weight of paramagnetic silver nanoparticles having specific properties that were not revealed by conventional diamagnetic silver nanoparticles. The pain relief composition according to the present invention shows excellent effect of relieving pain of arthritis due to antibiotic property and anti-toxicity of paramagnetic silver nanoparticles. By using the paramagnetic silver nanoparticles having small particle size, the composition is rapidly absorbed into cells upon being applied to skin. In addition, by virtue of using silver (Ag), no complication such as skin coloration or edema was observed. According to the present invention, pain is relieved by simple application, so that the usage is easy as compared to surgical treatment such as arthroscopic operation to provide high satisfaction to a patient.

  • Publication number: 20100136717
    Abstract: An apparatus and method to inspect a defect of a semiconductor device. The amount of secondary electrons generated due to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) may depend on the topology of a pattern of a semiconductor substrate. The amount of secondary electrons emitted from a recess of an under layer is far smaller than that of secondary electrons emitted from a projection of a top layer. Since the recess is darker than the projection, a ratio of a value of a secondary electron signal of the under layer to a value of a secondary electron signal of the top layer may be increased in order to improve a pattern image used to inspect a defect in the under layer. To do this, a plurality of conditions under which electron beams (e-beams) are irradiated may be set, at least two may be selected out of the set conditions, and the pattern may be scanned under the selected conditions.
