Abstract: A channel letter bending machine for bending a return of a channel letter from a stock includes a feeding unit disposed along a path of travel of the stock to be bent for feeding the stock, a flanging unit for forming a flange along one edge of the stock, a notching unit for notching the flange of the stock fed by the feeding mechanism along the path of travel, and a bending unit for bending the stock under the control of the computer control system into the desired configuration for the channel letter shape, wherein the notching unit and the flanging unit are disposed upstream of the bending unit and the flanging unit is disposed upstream of the notching unit.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for providing transmit (Tx) diversity in a multi-antenna wireless communication system, Tx diversity is provided by estimating a channel to each antenna using a signal received from the antenna, estimating channel state information (CSI) from the first Tx node to each antenna using the estimated channel, and determining a signal to be transmitted to the antennas in different methods according to whether phase compensation is required for information to be transmitted using the estimated channel and the CSI.

Abstract: The present invention relates to footwear in which natural germanium ore powder is added to the uppers of leather portion (an outer cover, an inner cover and a middle cover) and sole portions (an inner sole, a Taxon portion, a middle sole and a bottom sole) in all kinds of footwear such as shoes, running shoes, golf shoes, indoor shoes, sandals and work shoes. Germanium (Ge) is a material that emits a large amount of far-infrared rays. Germanium has a thermo effect of the human body and efficacy of promoting equilibrium of the autonomic nervous system and the amount of skin blood flow. Further, germanium has effects that it promotes circulation of blood and metabolism, shuts electromagnetic waves and prevents static electricity.

Abstract: Provided are the high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire for an low loss overhead electric conductor, the low loss overhead electric conductor using the high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire as its core, and a manufacturing method of them respectively. The high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire reduces a core loss and eddy current loss and minimizes effective electric resistance of the conductor by using the nonmagnetic stainless steel wire, that is a non-magnetic material, rather than a high carbon steel wire, that is a strong magnetic material. In addition, an overall power transmission loss is minimized by strengthening the tensile strength of and reducing a sectional area of the steel wire, making an aluminium-welded layer thicker, and increasing the sectional area of an aluminium conductor.

Abstract: Conjugates of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester-based polymer with Tat49-57 peptide or a peptide chain containing the Tat49-57 peptide, and nanoparticles manufactured using the same. Intracellular permeability of the Tat49-57 peptide can be enhanced by exposing Tat peptide moieties to the surface of the nanoparticles.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a catalyst comprising an inert carrier an a mixed metal oxide as a catalytically active component supported on the inert carrier, the method comprising the steps of: a) adding organic acid(s) into solvent(s) and salt of each metal component which will form a mixed metal oxide, to prepare a catalyst precursor solution for the mixed metal oxide; b) adjusting pH of the catalyst precursor solution using a basic solution; c) containing the catalyst precursor solution for the mixed metal oxide, of which the pH is adjusted, on the inert carrier, d) removing the solvent(s); and e) calcining the resultant from step d. The catalyst produced by the present method has improved reproducibility, activity and yield, while maintaining a high selectivity.

Abstract: A user-interface, and an associated method, permits entry of sound symbols which form Korean-language characters. An actuation keypad formed of a telephonic keypad has associated therewith Hangul sound symbols of which the characters are formed. More than one sound symbol is associated with at least one of the telephonic keys. A control device determines, according to the syntax rules of the Korean language which of the more than one sound symbol associated with the actuation key actuated by the user is to be used to form the character.
