Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition containing an extract of Cyperus rotundus extracted using warm microbubbles. The extract inhibits nitric oxide (NO) production and exhibits excellent anti-inflammatory efficacy by inhibiting the expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-1? (IL-1?), and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), which are inflammatory expression factors. In addition, the extract enhances the expression of aquaporin-3 (AQP-3), hyaluronan synthase 2 (HAS-2), claudin-1 (CLDN-1), cadherin 1 (CDH1), filaggrin (FLG), and involucrin (IVL), which are genes related to the skin barrier and moisturizing. Thus, when using the extract for cosmetic products, excellent effects can be exhibited in skin soothing, moisturizing, enhancement of the skin barrier, relief of irritation such as erythema, relief of pruritus, and the like, so the extract can be usefully applied to multi-care products that improve skin conditions.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a substrate including a display area, a peripheral area surrounding the display area, a function-adding area, of which at least a portion is surrounded by the display area, and a detour area disposed between the display area and the function-adding area. The display apparatus includes a plurality of pixel circuits disposed in the display area. A plurality of driving lines are electrically connected to the pixel circuits and extend in a direction in the display area. A first detour line is disposed in the detour area and is electrically connected to a first driving line. A second detour line is disposed in the detour area. The second detour line is electrically connected to a second driving line and is disposed in a different layer from the first detour line.

Abstract: A fuel electrode for a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) with improved high-temperature electrolysis efficiency includes a carrier having a first particle including nickel, and a second particle comprising yttria-stabilized zirconia, and a catalyst having a first element including at least one selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, Pd, Cu, Mo, and combinations thereof, and a second element comprising gadolinia-doped ceria.

Abstract: Provided is a method of compressing an occupancy map of a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud, and more specifically, a method of compressing an occupancy map of a point cloud in which an occupancy map image of a point cloud existing in a 3D space is compressed based on a compression quality or a patch-by-patch inspection method of the occupancy map image so that compression distortion is minimized when reconstructing the compressed occupancy map image so as to remarkably improve the quality of a reconstructed occupancy map image.

Abstract: Charging system and method using a motor driving system are proposed. The charging system includes a battery, an inverter to which D.C. power stored in the battery is applied, including a plurality of legs each including two switching elements, a motor including a plurality of coils of which first ends are respectively connected to connection nodes of the switching elements of each of the plurality of legs, and second ends are connected to each other to form a neutral point, and an inverter driving part configured to control switching of the switching elements, so that switching speeds of the switching elements are different for each mode of a motor driving mode and a charging mode so as to change magnitude of charging voltage supplied to the neutral point of the motor and to output the charging voltage to the battery.

Abstract: A method for the preparation of water-soluble chitosan with high purity and biological activity includes steps of: reacting chitosan oligo sugar acid salt, covalently bonded to an organic or inorganic acid, with trialkylamine in phosphate buffered saline followed by addition of an organic solvent to remove acid salt at C-2 position; adding the thus obtained reaction mixture to an inorganic acid to remove trialkylamine salt at C-6 position; and passing the thus obtained free amine chitosan through an activated carbon/ion exchange resin. The free amine chitosan is water-soluble and has a high bioavailability for application to the medicine and food industries.
