Abstract: A device and a method for recording a drive video of a vehicle may include a camera configured for filming a front video, a rear video, and a rear-side video of the vehicle, and a controller that detects the dangerous situation of the vehicle based on the rear-side video filmed by the camera, and records the front video, the rear video, and the rear-side video of the vehicle filmed by the camera as an event video in storage in the detected dangerous situation.

Abstract: A multi-functional microphone assembly that has a reduced number of components by installing circuit devices for additional functions in a printed circuit board (PCB) of a microphone so as to reduce the number of components and to increase an area of a back electrode plate, thereby improving sound quality, and a method of manufacturing the multi-functional microphone assembly. The multi-functional microphone assembly includes a microphone cell unit; and a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly that is coupled to the microphone cell unit and in which components for a microphone function and components for an additional function are mounted on a PCB on which a metal pattern and a connection terminal are formed.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode assembly for a cold cathode fluorescent lamp, including: a body connector made of glass; a connecting wire sealingly embedded in the body connector in a manner of penetrating the body connector; an electrode defining an electron emission space therein, the electrode being connected to one end of the connecting wire and being disposed in a glass tube; and an external wire which is connected to the other end of the connecting wire and is disposed outside the glass tube, wherein the connecting wire includes a central part made of a material having high electric conductivity and thermal conductivity, and a circumferential part made of a material having lower electric conductivity and thermal conductivity than those of the material used to make the central part.

Abstract: To handcuffs for preventing double-locking is added a structure or a member in which a stopper is in resilient contact with and is locked to bodies of the stationary hoops, so that the movement of the stopper is basically prevented even if shocks are transmitted from sides of the bodies of the stationary hoops while the handcuffs are carried, and thus the ability to move a detent thereof is secured. Thereby, a swivel hoop can be rapidly rotated under emergency circumstances while the handcuffs are carried, and can be meshed with the ratchet of a detent installed between the bodies of the stationary hoops.

Abstract: The present invention relates to stereoselective synthetic method of oxazoline derivative. More particularly, it relates to a synthetic method of oxazoline derivative having the structure of formula I. ##STR1## wherein R represents phenyl, benzyl, methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, isobutyl, cyclohexyl or cyclohexylmethyl.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an oxazoline compound which is easily chemically converted to a beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy acid or a gamma-amino-beta-hydroxy acid. The method comprises producing a compound of the following formula (4) using .alpha.-amino acid. The produced compound (4) is subjected to an intramolecular cyclization to produce an oxazoline compound of the following formula (3). The oxazoline compound (3) is oxidized at a vinyl group with RuCl.sub.3 or NaIO.sub.4 to produce an oxazoline compound of the following formula (1) which is easily chemically converted to a beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy acid. Alternatively, the oxazoline compound (3) may also be treated with 9-borabiclo[3.3.1]nonane such that a hydroxy group is introduced into the end of the vinyl group of the oxazoline compound(3). The introduced end hydroxy group is oxidized with RuCl.sub.3 or NaIO.sub.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first shorting bar connected to odd-numbered gate lines and a second shorting bar connected to even-numbered gate lines of TFTs. The first shorting bar is first formed such that it is connected to all of the even-numbered and odd-numbered gate lines. The odd-numbered gate lines are directly connected to the first shorting bar. The even-numbered gate lines are connected to the first shorting bar through the shorting bar connector. The second shorting bar formed on an insulating(passivation) layer is connected only to the even-numbered gate lines. Then the shorting bar connector connecting the even-numbered gate lines to the first shorting bar is removed by etching such that the first shorting bar is only connected to the odd-numbered gate lines and the second shorting bar is only connected to the even-numbered gate lines.

Abstract: A preparation of 3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diphosphonic acid includes the steps of: mixing N-alkoxycarbonyl-.beta.-alanine, phosphorous chloride and phosphorous acid in the ratio of 1:1:1.about.1:3:3 in a reaction solvent, xylene at 70.degree.-140.degree. C.; hydrolyzing; and obtaining 3-amino-1-hydroxypropane-1,1-diphosphonic acid as a product, thus decreasing the production of unidentified by-products and giving and low production cost by using xylene instead of chlorobenzene as a reaction solvent.
