Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for manufacturing an electronic component embedding substrate and an electronic component embedding substrate. The method for manufacturing an electronic component embedding substrate includes: inserting an electronic component into a cavity formed in a core substrate; stacking a first insulating layer on one side of the core substrate into which the electronic component is inserted; performing surface treatment on the other side of the core substrate opposite to a direction in which the first insulating layer is stacked to improve a surface roughness of at least an exposed surface of the first insulating layer; and stacking a second insulating layer on the other side of the core substrate so as to be bonded to the exposed surface of the first insulating layer of which the surface roughness is improved. In addition, disclosed herein is the electronic component embedding substrate.

Abstract: A water meter of the present invention may accurately measure a flow rate and reduce power consumption. The water meter includes a body including an inlet unit and an outlet unit, an impeller unit provided to rotate due to a fluid flowing in the body, a cover member that covers one side of the impeller unit and includes a guide groove formed therein, and sensors that are provided on one side and the other side of the cover member and are spaced apart from each other to face each other. The impeller unit includes blades interfering with the fluid, a shaft forming a rotational center of the blades, and a cut-off unit that extends from one side of the plurality of blades to be inserted into the guide groove, and selectively cuts off signal transmission between the plurality of sensors.

Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for remotely transmitting gas usage in a gas meter. The apparatus includes: a main body having a gas inlet and a gas outlet; a diaphragm assembly for pumping gas; a rotary slider controlling the amount of gas introduced to the diaphragm assembly; a counter calculating cumulatively the amount of gas introduced into or discharged from a valve; a remote interface unit digitizing the value cumulatively calculated by the counter to transmit the digitized value to a remote control unit; and a controller controlling the remote interface unit to counter the number of revolutions of the counter so that the cumulatively calculated value of the gas is digitized to display the digitized value on a display unit. The digitized value of the gas is transmitted to the remote control unit. Therefore, the apparatus can exactly measure the flow rate, reduce power consumption, and remotely check gas usage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system, comprising: an ultrasound image signal providing unit for providing ultrasound image signals corresponding to an ultrasound image having preset horizontal and vertical lengths; an image processing unit for forming a first ultrasound image based on the ultrasound image signals and adjusting a size of the first ultrasound image to thereby form a second ultrasound image; and a display unit including a display region having a plurality of dots arrayed in horizontal and vertical directions, the display region being configured to display the first and second ultrasound images, wherein the image processing unit calculates a conversion value for enlarging or reducing the first ultrasound image based on a horizontal or vertical length of the first ultrasound image and a distance between the neighboring dots, and wherein the image processing unit applies the conversion value to the first ultrasound image to thereby form the second ultrasound image.

Abstract: A Bluetooth system includes a set-top box transmitting/receiving data to/from a communication terminal, and a Bluetooth module installed on the outside of the set-top box and connected to the set-top box through a first cable, and converting the data into a predetermined format. The Bluetooth module is installed at a position to meet an optimal data receiving condition. The set-top box includes a first connection unit to which the first cable is connected. A failure in the data communication of the set-top box caused by the limitation in the installation location and area, such as walls or other blocking structure surrounding the set-top box, can be addressed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-in-oil-in-water multiple emulsion system and a method for preparation thereof, characterized by hydrodynamically stabilizing the multiple emulsion system by using hydrodynamic dual stabilization (HDS) technology. The HDS technology hydrophobizes water molecules in the internal aqueous phase by using a hydrogen bonding inhibitor and by improving the aggregating force between water molecules in the internal aqueous phase by using a water molecule aggregating agent.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mesh-type angle-adjustable faucet for a kitchen sink, which can control the angle stepwisely by crown gears arranged at contact surfaces of two tubes. The faucet includes: a raw water pipe; a water tap; flow rate controlling means; a first tube connected with the water tap and having a first crown gear fixed at an end portion of the water tap via fixing means for preventing an idle rotation; a second tube having a second crown gear engaged with the first crown gear of the first tube at an end thereof via fixing means for preventing the idle rotation, the other end of the second crown gear being connected with the raw water pipe; an elastic member for allowing the first and second crown gears to be in close contact with each other; and a watertight member arranged at the contact surfaces of the first and second tubes.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a playing apparatus for audio book and voice card, which is capable of acoustically playing contents of an audio book and a voice card used for education such as language learning. The playing apparatus for voice card and audio book comprises a voice card sensing unit, an audio book page sensing unit, a voice card transfer unit, a memory including a voice card information storing unit and an audio book information storing unit, a digital information processing unit, a speaker, and a MCU for controlling operation of all components. By providing a control method when the voice card is inserted during the output of the audio book, remaining data of the audio book can be output after a voice card playing mode is executed, without occurrence of errors due to a careless manipulation of the user.
