Abstract: This invention relates to a lyocell material for a cigarette filter and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the lyocell material which is biodegradable and eco-friendly can be manufactured by crimping lyocell multifilaments to thus obtain a crimped tow.

Abstract: Disclosed are a lyocell material for a cigarette filter and a method of preparing the same, wherein a crimped tow is manufactured using a lyocell multifilament including low-strength lyocell monofilaments, and thus the ultimately prepared lyocell material for a cigarette filter can exhibit low strength, thereby increasing processing efficiency during the manufacture of the cigarette filter.

Abstract: The filter using technology for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke on hands, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a filter unit for filtering tobacco smoke, the filter unit being coupled to a tobacco shred; and filter-wrapping paper for wrapping the filter unit. The filter unit or the filter-wrapping paper may contain a material for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke. According to the embodiment of the present invention, green tea extracts containing catechin or other materials for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke, e.g. citric acids, glycerols, tannic acids and the like can be added to a tobacco filter to remove the smell from tobacco smoke generated during smoking, thus significantly lowering the strength of the smell of tobacco smoke on the hands of a smoker as compared to conventional tobacco filters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a popup installation structure for a sink and to an installation method. The popup installation structure installed in a sink is configured such that an upper protrusion that tightly contacts a drain hole of the sink is formed on a top of the structure, drainpipes are arranged at both left and right sides of an intermediate portion of the structure such that each drain pipe is opened in a transverse direction and has a drain space in communication with an overflow passage formed from a bottom surface of the sink, and a sewer pipe is arranged in a lower portion of the structure such that the sewer pipe is coupled to a drain trap arranged below the basin.

Abstract: An agent is used to treat waste water containing dimethylsulfoxide and includes a solution of a porous material at a concentration of 6500 to 7500 mg/L, where an average size of pore openings of the porous material in a range of 60–550 ?m. The agent may be used in an aeration tank of a waste water treatment system, where the aeration tank is connected to a waste water tank for collecting waste water containing dimethylsulfoxide. A sedimentation tank of the system is connected to the aeration tank via a connection pipe for biologically decomposing the dimethylsulfoxide and settling sludge produced therein, and a treated water tank of the system returns a portion of treated waste water to the waste water tank and collects the remaining treated water therein.

Abstract: A method of measuring the thickness of a thin layer, by which the thickness of a top layer formed on the surface of a wafer can be detected in real time, and an apparatus therefor. This method includes irradiating light onto a cell and obtaining luminance from reflected light, detecting the thickness of a thin layer in an oxide site which is adjacent to the cell, repeating the irradiating and detecting steps to obtain a plurality of luminance values from cells formed on the wafer and a plurality of thickness values of thin layers in oxide sites that are adjacent to the cells, and employing a thickness calculation formula for calculating the thickness of a top layer using the plurality of luminance values and plurality of thickness values obtained in the prior steps.
