The mutant, of which mutations are induced by irradiation after being transformed with a recombinant vector according to the subject matter, has an excellent ability to produce carotenoids and can be mass-produced, and thus can be useful in various industrial fields, which use carotenoids, such as cosmetics, food, and feed.

Abstract: Provided is a method of tracing a common cause failure in an integrated drawing. The method includes: synthesizing entities assigned attributes in at least one design drawing in units of a system where a common cause is to be traced; generating an integrated drawing with a hierarchical structure by horizontally or vertically interconnecting the entities assigned the same attribute in the at least one design drawing; and displaying a fault propagation path in the integrated drawing by using an internal tracer, wherein the displaying illustrates state information of the entities on the fault propagation path.

Abstract: Provided is an integrated drawing producing method for common cause tracing. The integrated drawing producing method includes: distinguishing shapes of entities in at least one design drawing and assigning an attribute to each of distinguished entities; synthesizing the entities assigned the attributes in the at least one design drawing in units of a system where a common cause is to be traced; and generating an integrated drawing with a hierarchical structure by horizontally or vertically interconnecting the entities assigned the same attribute in the at least one design drawing.

Abstract: A method for producing natural rubber by using a recombinant microorganism is disclosed, the method comprising: (a) manufacturing an expression vector capable of expressing a gene encoding a cis-prenyltransferase, which is a guayule-derived natural rubber synthetase represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 or a Hevea brasiliensis-derived natural rubber synthetase represented by the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6, and an expression vector capable of expressing a gene coding for a natural rubber precursor synthetase; (b) transforming a host microorganism with the expression vector; (c) culturing the transformed host microorganism; and (d) separating natural rubber from the cultured transformed host microorganism. The natural rubber obtained by the method has a white powder form identical to that of natural rubber, and shows an FT-IR spectrum pattern extremely similar to that of natural rubber.

Abstract: A data diode provides a flexible device for collecting data from a data source and transmitting the data to a data destination using one-way data transmission. On-board processing elements allow the data diode to identify automatically the type of connectivity provided to the data diode and configure the data diode to handle the identified type of connectivity. Either or both of the inbound and outbound side of the data diode may comprise one or both of wired and wireless communication interfaces.

Abstract: A hydraulic mount for a vehicle includes: a core bush coupled to a bolt; a main rubber formed on an outer surface of the core bush; an orifice portion coupled to a lower portion of the main rubber to divide an upper fluid chamber and a lower fluid chamber; and a lower rubber film coupled to a lower portion of the orifice portion. The orifice portion includes an upper nozzle plate formed with a first fluid inlet and outlet port, a lower nozzle plate formed with a fluid path and a second fluid inlet and outlet port, and a cylinder-type membrane vertically arranged between the upper nozzle plate and the lower nozzle plate, and a pattern of crests and valleys is formed along a circumference of the membrane, the pattern of crests and valleys selectively contacting the upper nozzle plate and the lower nozzle plate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible catheter comprising: an insertion unit comprising multiple bending parts disposed in a lengthwise direction; an operation unit connected to the insertion unit; direction-controlling wires which have an end connected to the operation unit and the other end fixed to the insertion unit and are configured so as to bend the bending parts according to the length pulled by the operation unit; and limiters provided on the direction-controlling wires and configured such that the respective multiple bending parts are sequentially bent as the direction-controlling wires are pulled. The flexible catheter using wires, according to the present invention, allows for smooth steering of 180 degrees or more, is capable of sequentially bending the bending parts and thus steering to an angle optimized for a particular tissue, and therefore has the effect of efficiently and accurately carrying out a surgical operation.
