Abstract: A variable-focus liquid lens is provided. The liquid lens includes a membrane and a fluid. The membrane is made of a transparent elastomer, and the fluid fills a predetermined space to contact at least a lens surface of the membrane. The membrane and the fluid are respectively made of materials repulsive to each other, for example, hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials or oleophilic and oleophobic materials. Accordingly, a repulsive force between the fluid and the membrane can prevent the absorption or leaking of the fluid into/through the membrane.

Abstract: Provided is a method capable of providing an improved response property appropriate for the characteristics of a system by automatically choosing an interrupt handling mode used for each device. The method is a method in which the embedded operating system kernel determines a handling mode for all individual interrupts, the method includes: dividing interrupt handling modes into a first interrupt handling mode and a second interrupt handling mode which has a different process speed from the first interrupt handling mode, and variably determining a distribution ratio in which each of the interrupts are distributed to the first interrupt handling mode or to the second interrupt handling mode according to a predetermined process condition during boot-up.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pyrazolopyridines and imidazopyridines which are inhibitors of the kinase PDK1 and are thus useful for the treatment of myeloproliferative disorders or cancer. The compounds are also useful as inhibitors of other kinases such as FGFR3, NTRK3, RP-S6K and WEE1. Furthermore, the present compounds also selectively inhibit microtubule affinity regulating kinase (MARK) and are therefore useful for the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: Provided is an adaptive process scheduling method for embedded Linux. The adaptive process scheduling method includes calculating a central processing unit (CPU) occupancy time of each of one or more processes, determining whether or not it is necessary to perform adaptive process scheduling, calculating a predetermined weight to be applied to the CPU occupancy time of each process when it is determined that it is necessary to perform adaptive process scheduling, and applying the predetermined weight and updating the CPU occupancy time of each process when it is determined that it is necessary to perform adaptive process scheduling. Accordingly, the adaptive process scheduling method can improve the performance by omitting an unnecessary context exchange compared to the related art and can dynamically cope with an abrupt increase in the number of processes.
