Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing and treating climacteric symptoms comprising the extract of Sophorae Fructus as an effective ingredient. Precisely, the present invention relates to the extract of Sophorae Fructus having an effect of preventing and treating climacteric symptoms, a composition comprising the extract and a method for preventing and treating climacteric symptoms by administering the composition. The extract of Sophorae Fructus of the present invention has activities of promoting the osteoblast proliferation, inhibiting the secretion of bone-absorptive cytokines, promoting the secretion of growth factors involved in bone-reformation, stimulating the generation of nitric oxide in osteoblasts and inhibiting the osteoclast differentiation. In addition, the extract also reduces the concentration of a bone absorption index and inhibits the decrease of calcium content and bone density.

Abstract: This invention provides kits, devices, and methods for the detection of antibodies that recognize one or more proteins and/or antigens from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The antibodies may be in a biological fluid of a PRRSV infected or at risk subject. The invention may be advantageously applied to both the diagnosis and prevention of PRRSV infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an LCD device having a touch screen function. The LCD device of the present invention includes a plurality of gate lines, a plurality of data lines intersecting the gate lines, and a plurality of signal lines that are insulated from and juxtaposed with the data lines. First to third switching elements are formed in each of a plurality of pixel regions in the form of a matrix, which are surrounded by the gate lines and the data lines. Here, a gate electrode of the first switching element is connected to a gate line Gn, a source electrode thereof is connected to the data line, and a drain electrode thereof is connected to a pixel electrode. Further, liquid crystal capacitance and storage capacitance are formed between the pixel electrode and a common electrode. At this time, the liquid crystal capacitance is changed due to variation in the liquid crystal cell gap. The second and third switching elements are designed to read variation in the liquid crystal capacitance.

Abstract: In a fingerprint recognition apparatus, a first recognition section is formed on a center portion of a transparent substrate and a second recognition section is formed on the transparent substrate adjacent to the first recognition section. The first recognition section recognizes an image pattern from an object making contact with the transparent substrate to generate a first recognition signal and the second recognition section senses a biological signal so as to check whether or not the first recognition signal is obtained from a human being. Accordingly, the fingerprint recognition apparatus may check that whether or not the object having the image pattern is obtained from a human being, thereby recognizing the image pattern with high accuracy and improving reliability thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to high dielectric non-woven fabrics and their synthetic process. Particularly, the present invention relates to a process for preparing high dielectric non-woven fabrics comprising the steps of (a) mix-spinning polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polypropylene (PP) to prepare a fiber, (b) polarizing the fiber prepared in the step (a) to improve the dielectric constant of the fiber, and (c) manufacturing non-woven fabrics from the fiber having improved dielectric constant, prepared in the step (b), and non-woven fabrics prepared according to the mentioned process.

Abstract: Live or modified live PRRS vaccines for administration to swine are provided which are of low virulence and confer effective immunity against PRRS. The preferred vaccines include virus isolates having average plaque diameters of less than about 2 mm and low pathogenicity. A preferred vaccine includes a small plaque diameter strain, ATCC Accession No. VR2509. The vaccines of the invention may be administered to breeding females or gilts and to weaned piglets, and is effective to immunize the swine against both the respiratory and reproductive forms of the disease.
