Abstract: Disclosed are alphavirus-based expression vectors expressing env, gag, pro, and/or pol genes of HIV-1, their transcripts, and transformed host cells. The present invention describes the expression of the Gag, Env, Pol, and/or Pro Proteins using the above expression vectors, and HIV-like particles (HIVLPs) composed of the above recombinant proteins. The virus-like particles (VLPs) of the present invention, as the mature and infective particles, are very useful as an antigen for a diagnostic kit for HIV infection as well as for a vaccine composition for prevention of HIV infection.

Abstract: A portable device, such as a mobile terminal or user equipment, for encoding uplink acknowledgments to downlink transmissions. The portable device includes a receiver configured to receive a plurality of data blocks, such that each of the data blocks include an associated cyclic redundancy check (CRC), and a processor configured to determine received status for each of the data blocks by checking the CRC of each of the data blocks. The portable device further includes a transmitter for transmitting a response sequence which indicates the received status of all of the data blocks.

Abstract: A method for providing precoding weights for data symbols of data control subframes includes generating a downlink frame having control subframes which individually correspond to one of a plurality of downlink data subframes, and inserting weight information into each of the control subframes, such that the weight information is to be applied to data symbols present in the corresponding one of the data subframes. The method further includes transmitting the control subframes and the inserted weight information to a receiving device.

Abstract: A washing machine and an operating method of the washing machine are provided. In the operating method of the washing machine, it is determined whether a washing machine has a regular laundry load or a single laundry load based on the amount of laundry and the number of times of detection of the amount of laundry. Therefore, it is possible to precisely determine the laundry load of a washing machine, reduce the time taken to determine the laundry load of a washing machine, and prevent a washing machine from being damaged by a misreading of the laundry load of a washing machine.

Abstract: A defrosting method of a drum-type washing machine is provided. The defrosting method includes performing a warm water supply operation upon receiving a defrost command from a user; performing a water discharge operation; performing a heating operation if a water level has not yet decreased; and performing an additional water discharge operation. Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly defrost a drum-type washing machine without the need to pour boiling water into the drum-type washing machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a washing machine having legs at a base to adjust the height thereof. The washing machine includes a base, a plurality of legs, and an over-unscrewed prevention member. The base is formed at a bottom of the washing machine.
