Abstract: A system and a method for measuring ultraviolet ray protection of a cosmetic material. In an embodiment, the system for measuring the ultraviolet ray protection of a cosmetic material includes: a light source for emitting light including ultraviolet bands; a transparent plate through which the lights emitted from the light source pass, and having one surface to which a cosmetic material to be tested is applied; a wavelength conversion film, which changes, to a predetermined size, the light, of an ultraviolet band, of the light having passed through the transparent plate and makes the same pass therethrough; and a photosensitive sheet, which accommodates the light having passed through the wavelength conversion film and has a photosensitive property for light of UVA and UVB bands among the ultraviolet bands.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel use of a composition comprising as an active ingredient an Artemisia umbelliformis extract. A composition according to the present description shows hair follicle cell proliferation or hair growth effect by means of comprising an Artemisia umbelliformis extract. Therefore, due to said effect, the Artemisia umbelliformis extract has hair loss prevention or hair growth stimulation effect.

Abstract: A display apparatus for controlling a peripheral device and a method thereof are provided. The method may include transmitting, to a remote controller, a first turn-on signal to turn on the peripheral device; measuring a time interval between a first time when the display apparatus transmits the first turn-on signal to the remote controller and a second time when the display apparatus starts to receive content from the peripheral device in response to the first turn-on signal; and setting the measured time interval as a threshold time to determine whether the content is received from the peripheral device.

Abstract: An artificial skin culture container according to the present invention can solve the problems of the contraction of the dermal layer of artificial skin and the detachment thereof from the culture container, which result from an interaction between collagen and fibroblasts existing in the dermal layer of artificial skin during the production of the artificial skin, by using agar and hydrophobically modifying a portion of the agar. Therefore, the use of the culture container enables to stably culture artificial skin and produce artificial skin similar to the human skin. In addition, the artificial skin culture container of the present invention comprises agar, and thus a culture solution can be supplied through a side portion as well as a lower portion of the culture container, which allows to effectively culture artificial skin.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel use of a composition comprising as an active ingredient a Scutellaria alpina extract. A composition according to the present description shows hair follicle cell proliferation or hair growth effect by means of comprising a Scutellaria alpina extract. Therefore, due to said effect, the Scutellaria alpina extract has hair loss prevention or hair growth stimulation effect.

Abstract: A display device includes a first communication unit connected to one or more peripheral devices, a second communication unit that communicates with a remote controller, and a processor. If the processor is initialized in response to a power-on instruction through the second communication unit, the processor verifies whether a first peripheral device, which is selected as a source device that provides at least one source of video and audio signals, among the one or more peripheral devices is powered on within a first threshold time. If the first peripheral device is not powered on within the first threshold time, the processor transmits a power-on request for allowing the remote controller to power on the first peripheral device, to the remote controller through the second communication unit.
