  • Patent number: 9687741
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to providing a drift in a game played on a computing platform with a touch-sensitive interface. In some implementations, the system may facilitate a drift input control. In some implementations, the drift input control may be the player tapping the touch-sensitive surface. The drift may depend on one or more parameters (e.g., the speed, the pressure, and/or other parameters) of the tapping on the touch-sensitive surface.

  • Publication number: 20080102142
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for removing a hangover. In particular, the present invention discloses a method of using ajoene as an alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor based on the fact that ajoene strongly inhibits alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity. A composition for removing a hangover comprising ajoene suppresses the over-production of acetaldehyde during alcohol metabolism to maintain acetaldehyde concentration in blood at a normal level that can be degraded in the body and eliminated therefrom through normal metabolic and secretory pathways to thereby prevent the hangover after consumption of alcohol, and a method of preparing the same, are also provided. The present invention also provides a novel use of ajoene, which is a natural substance obtained by purification of garlic, and a composition for removing a hangover comprising ajoene, which is harmless to the body and strongly inhibits ADH activity, thereby showing very excellent relieving effect on the hangover.

  • Publication number: 20060154360
    Abstract: Provided is a hybridization system for hybridizing a biochip including: a chamber device including at least a hybridization chamber including a support for a biochip and a first cover having a sample inlet; an agitation device including: two air channels connected to ends of the hybridization chamber; two valves disposed in the air channels; an integrated air channel to which the two air channels are connected; and an air pump disposed in the integrated air channel; and a washing and drying device including: a flow channel connected to one of the two air channels through a branched valve; a flow pump disposed in the flow channel; and a buffer inlet disposed opposite the flow channel.

  • Publication number: 20060094928
    Abstract: A fuel cell for a microcapsule-type robot uses alcohol or an aqueous alcohol solution as a fuel and was hydrogen peroxide or an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution as an oxidizing agent. A microcapsule-type robot also uses the fuel cell. The fuel cell may be used in a microcapsule-type endoscope and have an operating time that is long enough to diagnose human organs. The fuel cell may comprise hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent instead of air or oxygen such that the fuel cell can operate inside the human body. Thus, an oxygen source, which cannot be obtained in a human body, can be easily supplied to the fuel cell, and the fuel cell has higher performance than a fuel cell in which air is used as an oxidizing agent.

  • Publication number: 20060035247
    Abstract: A biochip with a radio frequency (RF) identification (ID) chip attached thereto, a hybridization system, and a hybridization management method are provided. Probes used for analyzing living body molecules are highly integrated on a substrate of the biochip, and biochip information including information obtained in the process of combining the living body molecules with the probes of the biochip is recorded in the RF ID tag of the biochip. Accordingly, it is possible to efficiently manage the biochip information using the RF ID tag and to prevent the biochip from being reused.
