Abstract: Provided is a water purifier comprising: a filter unit which has a reverse osmosis membrane filter; a supply valve; an instantaneous heating device which is provided with an inflow port, and an outflow port, and which heats and purified water entering through the inflow port and flowing to the outflow port, so that hot water is discharged through the outflow port; an extraction member; a supply pump; a domestic water drain line; a hot water drain line; a hot water drain valve; and a control unit which controls the opening/closing of respective flow channels of the hot water drain line and the domestic water drain line so that, among a hot water draining process through the hot water drain line, and a domestic water draining process through the domestic water drain line, the hot water draining process is carried out first.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving muscle strength, and/or muscle mass by administering a composition containing as an active ingredient at least one selected from the group consisting of Akkermansia muciniphila cells, a culture thereof and a lysate thereof, and a method for preventing or treating muscle diseases where muscle strength and/or mass is weakened by sarcopenia, cachexia or muscle wasting.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, a method and device for recognizing an external device by a portable terminal. The external device determines whether the external device has recognized the portable terminal according to signals with a predetermined form, which have been output from the portable terminal regardless of the on/off state of the power source thereof, and outputs signals for a predetermined period of time according to a result of the determination. Thereafter, the portable terminal recognizes the external device according to the number or the form of signals input from the external device through a recognition node for a predetermined period of time. As a result, the portable terminal can recognize more various external devices, such as an external battery and a charging cradle which provides stereo sound, by using the recognition node of the portable terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for outputting audio data and a musical score image, displaying a musical score image corresponding to reproduced audio data, and outputting audio data corresponding to a musical score image are provided, in which a tone is extracted, the tone is converted into a frequency, a monotone or polyphonic tone is identified, the frequency corresponding to a monotone or polyphonic tone is converted into tone information data, and the tone information data is stored, and a musical score is displayed. Also, audio data corresponding to a musical score are output, in which the musical score is photographed, musical signs from the photographed musical score are extracted, a pitch of a tone is extracted from music paper and musical note information of the musical signs, a duration of the tone from the musical note information of the musical signs is extracted, and audio data are output.

Abstract: An embedded battery control circuit and a driving method thereof are provided. The embedded battery control circuit includes a main power supply line for supplying power to a terminal set, an embedded battery installed in the terminal set, for supplying drive power to the terminal set by selectively connecting to the main power supply line, an external power supply unit for supplying power to the terminal set from the outside, and a switching unit disposed between the embedded battery, the main power supply line, and the external power supply unit, for connection controls according to the type of the external power supply unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal and method for displaying an image including receiving a voice input from a user in a voice recognition mode, retrieving an image stored with a filename corresponding to the input voice and displaying the retrieved image in a preset format.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for outputting digital broadcast data in a digital broadcast reception device, which includes setting at least two preferred channels in each of at least one broadcast reception mode; detecting when a request for outputting broadcast programs of the preferred channels is input by a user during the output of a digital broadcast program currently received in a specific broadcast reception mode, and outputting the current digital broadcast program to a main screen; generating sub-screens in a number corresponding to the number of the broadcast reception mode or modes in which the preferred channels have been set; receiving digital broadcast programs of the preferred channels set in each broadcast reception mode; and outputting the received digital broadcast programs to the corresponding sub-screens. The method enables the user to view digital broadcast programs of preferred channels while viewing a specific digital broadcast program.
