Abstract: The present invention relates to a virtual reality experience apparatus. The virtual reality experience apparatus includes the image apparatus providing an experiencing user with an image and the riding apparatus providing the experiencing user with a physical motion, and the riding apparatus may include a riding part providing the experiencing user with a ridable space; and a gyro mechanism generating at least one of a pitching motion, a yawing motion, a rolling motion, and a reciprocating motion in the riding part, such that a stimulus sensed by the experiencing user through a sense of sight and a stimulus sensed through a physical motion may coincide with each other. Accordingly, the experiencing user may be prevented from feeling a sense of displacement, and an immersion level may be improved, as a result, a sense of realism may be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, uses, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising an sGC stimulator or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents, for the treatment of a gastrointestinal sphincter disorder. Gastrointestinal sphincter disorders include, but are not limited to, an achalasia of a sphincter of the gastrointestinal tract, a spastic sphincter of the gastrointestinal tract or sphincter spasms, or a hypertensive sphincter of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: Provided herein is an eco-friendly artificial leather for an interior of an automobile and a manufacturing method thereof. The eco-friendly product is manufactured using a method that is compatible with various environmental regulations such as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The artificial leather includes a bio urethane-containing skin surface layer which uses biomass-derived components extracted from vegetable components, a solvent-free bio urethane adhesive layer, and a bio fiber base layer. The layers are sequentially stacked to minimize the use of organic solvents and components that are harmful to the human body.

Abstract: An electrode-electrolyte system for use in batteries and supercapacitors allows enhanced access of ions and electrons from the electrolyte to the electrode. The electrode includes an electrically conductive substrate, a nanostructured active material layer deposited on the substrate, and a porous membrane coating the nanostructured active material. The porous membrane is flexible and made of a polymer network and a conductive additive.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for controlling a governor based on a heterogeneous multicore system. The apparatus includes a heterogeneous core cluster unit for running any one of a first core cluster for high-performance operation and a second core cluster for low-power operation by switching therebetween; a governor-setting unit for generating operation setting information of a governor for controlling operation of the first core cluster and second core cluster; and a governor control unit for controlling operation of one or more governors based on the operation setting information.

Abstract: A polyurethane filter foam is provided herein. The polyurethane filter foam may have improved permeability by having both a small cell and a large cell in a range for maximizing the opening property of the foam. In some instance, this is achieved by specifically configuring and foaming a composition of polyether polyol and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) to manufacture the polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam of the present invention can be manufactured without performing a reticulation process.
