Abstract: The present invention discloses a concentration gradient test reagent kit and a testing method for use in bacterial/fungal drug susceptibility testing. The reagent kit includes a test strip unit. The test strip unit includes a strip-shaped culture medium container and a drug container. The culture medium container and the drug container comprise axially-arranged culture medium cells and drug cells, respectively. The culture medium cells can be inserted into corresponding drug cells. The drug container and the culture medium container are stable, easy to preserve and transport, and can be included into a reagent kit for long-term storage. The kit allows for easy and convenient testing operations. Testing results are easy to observe and interpret. The kit can be used in drug susceptibility testing on slow-growing fungi and anaerobic bacteria. Testing procedures and waste processing is biologically very safe.

Abstract: The flat panel display includes an electrochromic device that is a controlling unit. The electrochromic device reversibly makes electrolytic oxidizing and reducing reactions so that coloring and decoloring can be made reversibly, when voltage is applied. With such the construction, the flat panel display controls the voltage applied to the electrochromic device, enabling to selectively display an image on front side or two sides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat panel display and a method of driving the same for maximizing the effect of two direction emission in the flat panel display that uses a transparent thin film transistor. The flat panel display of the present invention comprises a transparent emission panel that includes a transparent thin film transistor, and a controlling unit provided on bottom of the transparent emission panel to control transmission of light. With such the construction, the flat panel display enable to freely display an image at one surface or at both of two surfaces depending on a user's desired time schedule, while maintaining a transparent state at ordinary times. In an embodiment of this invention, an organic light emitting device is used as the emission panel and an electrophoretic device is used as the controlling unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a flat panel display and an organic light emitting display which maintains an opaque state depending on a user's desired time point or an established time point, while maintaining a transparent state at ordinary times, by forming a transparent two side emission panel and a control unit on the lower portion of the transparent two side emission panel, enabling to freely display an image in two side or one side. A flat panel display (FPD) of the present invention is constructed with a transparent two side emission panel and a control unit provided on at least one side of the transparent two side emission panel to control transmission of light. The control unit controlling an array of liquid crystal layers depending on voltage applied to the liquid crystal layers and transmission of light by a first polarizing member and a second polarizing member.

Abstract: An Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) and its method of fabrication includes: a transparent substrate; a photochromatic layer formed on a first surface of the transparent substrate; at least one transparent Thin Film Transistor (TFT) formed on a first surface of the transparent substrate, and an organic light emitting device formed on and electrically connected to the transparent TFT.

Abstract: Methods of treating and/or preventing disorders mediated by one or more of TNF-?, NF-?B, IKK-?, IKK-?, ATF-2 and p38 kinase by administration of praziquantel, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, ester or amide thereof. These disorders include inflammatory disorders such as autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for controlling the capacity of an air conditioner and a control method using the same. The capacity control apparatus is configured in such a fashion that a 3-way or 4-way direction-switching member and a low-pressure equalizing solenoid valve are provided at a refrigerant path of the air conditioner having a pair of first and second compressors, so that the compression capacity of the air conditioner is adjusted into three stages of 100%, 60%, and 40% using the first and second compressors, enabling easy variable-capacity operation. This has the effect of considerably reducing energy consumption and of preventing wear of the first and second compressors via a rapid compensation of a pressure unbalance between both the compressors.
