Abstract: The extract of Siegesbeckiae herba of the present invention showed potent inhibitory effect on the dissociation of proteoglycan and type II collagen in chondrocyte and cartilage tissue and protecting effect on cartilage due to the inhibition of MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-13 activity and the restoring effect on cartilage tissue, the anti-inflammatory and antiphlogistic effect in edema animal model, anti-inflammatory effect confirmed by the inhibition test on PGE2 activity through COX-2 inhibition and the inhibition test of the reproduction of TNF-? and NO, it can be used as the therapeutics or health food for treating and preventing arthritic disease.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing a protection sheet includes a body, a labeling unit, a clamping unit and a protection sheet stacking unit. The labeling unit is on the body and attaches a label on a protection sheet disposed on a polarizer of a display panel. The clamping unit is on the body and includes a clamping part and a clamp transporting part. The clamping part clamps the label. The clamp transporting part transports the clamping part so that the protection sheet is stripped from the polarizer. The protection sheet stacking unit is on the body and receives the protection sheet that is stripped from the polarizer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a synchronizer for automobile transmissions. The invention provides a synchronizer in which the stroke of the shift lever is shorter for the same synchronizing time and the shift lever is operated by a smaller operating force to give convenient operation. By forming a friction surface at the outer circumference of the sleeve, the friction is located at the farthest position from the center line of the synchronizer so that the friction force is increased. At the same time, the pitch circle diameter of the power transmission spline is the largest so that the width of the synchronizer is reduced and the time required for synchronizing reduced. Also, the torque required in operating and the operating stroke are reduced remarkably whereby the enhanced performance synchronizer for automobile transmission provided.
