Abstract: In a display assistant device, a speaker is mounted in a waveguide structure which is at least partially disposed beneath a display screen. The waveguide structure is mounted in an exterior housing which includes speaker grills distributed on a plurality of surfaces of the exterior housing, permitting sound waves from the speaker to be projected outside the exterior housing. A cover structure is disposed on top of the waveguide structure to conceal the waveguide structure and speaker within the exterior housing. The cover structure has a tilted bottom surface configured to be suspended above the waveguide structure and to be separated by a first space. Sound waves projected from an upper portion of the speaker are reflected by the tilted bottom surface and are guided through the first space to exit the device from a speaker grill portion located on a rear side of the exterior housing.

Abstract: Disclosed are a novel interferon lambda variant produced through structure-based glycoengineering and a method of producing the same. The novel interferon lambda variant and the method of producing the same exhibit remarkably improved production and yield in mammalian cell lines using structural information-based glycoengineering even through conventional purification protocols, and exhibit significantly improved therapeutic properties such as stability, half-life, and fraction of functional proteins during treatment, compared to wild-type interferon lambda. In addition, the novel interferon lambda variant and the method of producing the same according to the present invention have higher antiviral activity and interferon-stimulated gene (ISG)-inducing activity than wild-type interferon lambda, and thus are useful for the prevention and treatment of immune-related diseases such as cancer and autoimmune diseases as well as various viral infections such as infection with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

Abstract: The present application provides a system and a method for water-based chemical-looping hydrogen generation. The method for water-based chemical-looping hydrogen generation comprises a water-based reduction process of oxygen carrier and a water-based oxidation process of oxygen carrier, wherein in the water-based reduction process of oxygen carrier, an oxygen carrier is reduced with a hydrocarbon fuel in the presence of a steam to produce a hydrogen gas as well as a reduced oxygen carrier and a carbon dioxide; and in the water-based oxidation process of oxygen carrier, the reduced oxygen carrier is oxidized with the steam to produce the hydrogen gas, while the reduced oxygen carrier is oxidized to its original state, thereby forming a chemical-looping. The present application can reduce the energy consumption while improving the efficiency of the hydrogen generation, enabling a zero energy consumption separation of carbon dioxide in the hydrogen generation process.
