Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for manufacturing manganese oxide nanotubes/nanorods using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. In the inventive methods, the manganese oxide nanotubes/nanorods are manufactured in mild conditions using only a manganese oxide precursor and an anodic aluminum oxide template without using any solvent. The nanotubes/nanorods having uniform size can be easily obtained by adsorbing the manganese oxide precursor onto the surface of the anodic aluminum oxide template by a vacuum forming process using a vacuum filtration apparatus so as to maintain the shape of nanotubes/nanorods and drying the manganese oxide nanotubes. The manganese oxide nanotubes/nanorods made according to the inventive methods can be used as economic hydrogen reservoirs, the electrode of lithium secondary batteries, or the energy reservoirs of vehicles or other transport means.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method of preparing Li-doped silica nanotubes using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template, and a method of storing energy using the prepared Li-doped silica nanotubes. Unlike prior methods for preparing metal nanotubes, according to the disclosed preparation method, the Li-doped silica nanotubes having a uniform size can be easily obtained in mild conditions using a lithium precursor, a silica sol and an anodic aluminum oxide template. The preparation method comprises adsorbing the lithium precursor and the silica sol on the surface of the AAO template, drying the lithium precursor and the silica sol, adsorbed onto the AAO template, in a vacuum, to form nanotubes, and then drying the nanotubes. The Li-doped silica nanotubes prepared according to the disclosed method can be used as economical hydrogen storage materials, electrode materials for lithium secondary batteries, or energy storage sources for automobiles or other transportation means.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a LCD device comprises preparing a substrate having a plurality of LCD panel regions within main exposure regions, performing a main exposure process at the LCD panel regions to define a non-exposure region between the main exposure regions; and performing a sub exposure process at the non-exposure region formed between the main exposure regions.

Abstract: An air conditioning system can automatically increase or decrease a desired temperature of an indoor unit at a variable gradient smaller than the variable gradient per predetermined time of an outdoor temperature. Hence, the user does not have to directly change the desired temperature, thus increasing user's convenience. Also, in the event of a significant diurnal range in temperature, air conditioning sickness can be prevented since an optimum indoor temperature can be maintained. Moreover, the variable gradient of the desired temperature of a room is smaller than the variable gradient of an outdoor temperature, thus keeping the room pleasant.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wireless universal serial bus (USB) dual role device (DRD) system in which a common part shared between a wireless USB host and a wireless USB device is extracted from a central processing unit (CPU) to implement a wireless USB DRD, and driven to be divisionally processed in the CPU according to roles to reduce system load, so that a DRD performance can be improved.

Abstract: A mesoporous alumina molecular sieve and a method of manufacturing a mesoporous alumina mesoporous alumina molecular sieve of the invention is produced without using traditionally used additives. Also, because the size and distribution of the pores can be controlled, the molecular sieve can be produced simply and economically, producing molecular sieve with high surface area and thermal stability. Further, a method of manufacturing an alumina nanotube by using a surfactant and a use of the alumina nanotube as a hydrogen storage material are provided.
