  • Publication number: 20190111839
    Abstract: An engine sound color control method based on an engine dynamic characteristic with artificial intelligence is provided. The method maximizes audio-visual control through the audio-visual synergy effect by performing both of the visual control of the dash board by the artificial intelligence using the virtual engine revolution per minute based on the shifting event and driving pattern of a vehicle. In particular, the auditory control of the speaker is operated by the signal processing controller based on the virtual engine RPM in response to an engine vibration signal of the engine. Further, a driver is provided with rapid response with vehicle power performance control through a real-time audio-visual change regulated by the artificial intelligence.

  • Publication number: 20170306047
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating cancer or inflammatory disease, containing an NDRG3 expression or activity inhibitor as an active ingredient. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an NDRG3 protein-specific antibody and a use thereof. Specifically, the antibody to the NDRG3 protein is prepared, and the antibody is used to verify that NDRG3 mediated by lactate generated from a hypoxia reaction promotes cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and cytokine expression through the lactate-NDRG3-c-Raf-ERK signaling pathway, and thus the antibody binding to the epitope of the NDRG3 or a fragment of the antibody can be favorably used in the research of cancer or inflammation occurrence mechanism, the development of novel genes involved in the mechanism, and the development of therapeutic agents and new pharmaceuticals.

  • Patent number: 8809295
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising an inhibitor of the expression or activity of SH3 domain containing ring finger 2 (SH3RF2) for preventing or treating cancers. More specifically, since the SH3RF2 protein, of which the expression level increases in various cancer tissues, binds to PAK4, which is a cancer-associated gene, to regulate an apoptosis inhibitory function of the PAK4 protein by ubiquitination activity of SH3RF2 RING domain, cancer cells, in which the expression of SH3RF2 is inhibited, sensitively respond to the induction of apoptosis to promote apoptosis and reduce in vivo tumorigenicity, such that the inhibitor of the expression or activity of SHRF2 can be useful as a composition for preventing or treating cancers.
