Abstract: An electronic device may include: a first temperature sensor configured to measure a first temperature of a skin surface when a user comes into contact with a main body of the electronic device; a first heating element spaced apart from the first temperature sensor by a first predetermined distance; a second temperature sensor spaced apart from the first heating element by a second predetermined distance and configured to measure a second temperature inside the main body; and a processor configured to: estimate heat flux based on the first temperature and the second temperature; estimate a blood perfusion rate of the user based on a temperature of the first heating element and the first temperature, and estimate a core body temperature of a user based on the first temperature, the estimated heat flux, and the estimated blood perfusion rate.

Abstract: A connector position alignment assembly includes a first part and a second part coupled to each other through a connector and including a guide portion aligning a position of the connector. The guide portion is provided with a guide pin and a guide boss including portions protruding toward each other, and the guide pin and the guide boss respectively protrude further than the connector, in a direction in which the first part and the second part face each other, such that a portion of the guide pin is accommodated in the guide boss before the connectors are coupled to each other.

Abstract: An eco-friendly power source such as a battery module is provided for a transportation vehicle, including: a first sub-module and a second sub-module respectively including a cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; and a central wall disposed between the first sub-module and the second sub-module, wherein the central wall includes a first central wall facing the first sub-module and a second central wall facing the second sub-module, wherein the first central wall has a rotationary symmetrical shape of the second central wall around a first axis.

Abstract: An eco-friendly power source, such as a battery module provided for a transportation vehicle includes a first sub-module and a second sub-module disposed in a first direction, the first sub-module and the second sub-module respectively including a plurality of battery cells stacked in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, and a lower cover coupled to the first sub-module and the second sub-module. The first sub-module and the second sub-module are disposed to be rotationally symmetrical to each other about a central axis, which is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: A multilayer capacitor includes a body including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes stacked in a first direction, and external electrodes, wherein the body includes an active portion, a side margin portion covering at least one of a first surface and a second surface of the active portion opposing each other in a second direction, and a cover portion covering the active portion in the first direction, respective dielectric layers among the plurality of dielectric layers include a barium titanate-based composition, the dielectric layer of the side margin portion includes Sn, and a content of Sn in the dielectric layer of the side margin portion is different from that of Sn in the dielectric layer of the active portion, and the dielectric layer of the side margin portion includes at least some grains having a core-shell structure.

Abstract: A Unified Speech and Audio Codec (USAC) that may process a window sequence based on mode switching is provided. The USAC may perform encoding or decoding by overlapping between frames based on a folding point when mode switching occurs. The USAC may process different window sequences for each situation to perform encoding or decoding, and thereby may improve a coding efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing polycrystalline silicon ingot using a crucible in which an oxygen exhaust passage is formed by single crystal or polycrystalline rods, the method including the steps of: manufacturing the single crystal or polycrystalline silicon rods each having the shape of a quadrilateral pillar; putting the single crystal or polycrystalline quadrilateral pillar-shaped silicon rods into the crucible in such a manner as to be arranged close to one another along the inner peripheral surface of the crucible to thus form a space portion inside the single crystal or polycrystalline silicon rods, into which silicon chunks are put, and the oxygen exhaust passages between the inner peripheral surface of the crucible and the respective surfaces of the single crystal or polycrystalline silicon rods oriented toward the inner peripheral surface of the crucible; putting the silicon chunks into the space portion of the crucible; and melting and crystallizing the silicon chunks.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high-flavor fish sauce within a short period and a fish sauce manufactured by the same. The method for manufacturing the fish sauce can considerably reduce the conventional long fermentation and maturation period of from 1 to 3 years, improve the nutrient content and taste of the fish sauce due to a hybrid, remove the intrinsic fishy odor therefrom, enhance its sensory desirability and quality thus being highly competitive to be widely used in the fish sauce manufacturing industry.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high-flavor fish sauce within a short period of time and a fish sauce prepared by the method. The method for manufacturing a fish sauce includes fermenting a salted marine product for the first time and then performing fermentation/ripening under a constant-temperature condition after adding a crude fish sauce, and can considerably reduce the long fermentation and ripening period, which is 1-3 years or longer, of the traditional method. Also, since the fish sauce prepared by the method for manufacturing a fish sauce has improved nutrient content and taste, with reduced characteristic fishy odor and improved sensory flavor and quality, it is highly competitive and can be widely used in the fish sauce manufacturing industry.

Abstract: A form assembly for forming vertical concrete walls for prefabricated apartment and office modules. The form assembly has a wall form having a plurality of internal wall forms and corresponding external wall forms. The wall form is connected to a support structure, and a plurality of hydraulic lifting cylinders connect to the support structure to raise and lower the wall form. The form assembly may also have hydraulic open and close mechanisms, hydraulic form ties and a control console for the hydraulic system. External corner mechanisms may be provided for locking the external form corners in place prior to concrete pouring. An efficient method of manufacturing the modules includes several steps. Slab reinforcement bars and conduits are layed on a slab deck. Concrete is poured over the slab reinforcement bars and conduits to form a slab. Wall reinforcement bars and conduits are erected on the slab for vertical walls.
