Abstract: There is provided a cooperative driving control method based on a vehicle security status. The cooperative driving method according to an embodiment includes: identifying a security status of a cooperative driving target vehicle; determining a cooperative driving strategy according to the identified security status; and controlling driving according to the determined cooperative driving strategy. Accordingly, cooperative driving may be performed or excluded based on a security status of a target vehicle, so that an accident may be prevented from being caused by cooperative driving with a problematic vehicle, and safety of a driver and an occupant may be guaranteed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polyester polyol and polyurethane prepared from the polyester polyol, the polyester polyol being prepared from an acid component containing at least one type of pure isophthalic acid (PIA) and phthalic anhydride (PA) and an alcohol component represented by chemical formula 1: HO-L3-OH??[Chemical Formula 1] L3 is a straight or branched chain alkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with a hydroxyl group; or a straight or branched chain ether group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with a hydroxyl group. The polyester polyol according to the present invention has excellent storage stability and compatibility, and the polyurethane prepared using the polyester polyol has excellent flame retardancy and dimensional stability.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method. The image processing method includes a data obtaining unit for obtaining volume data that contains a target image; a depth-data obtaining unit for obtaining depth data that indicates a depth to the surface of the target image from an image plane; an image processing unit for processing the volume data into a processed volume data based on the depth-data, and obtaining a rendered image based on the processed volume data; and a display unit for displaying the rendered image.

Abstract: Provided is a method of operating a medical diagnostic apparatus that displays a medical image, including: modifying an operating state of the medical diagnostic apparatus from a first state to a second state based on sequential first user inputs; storing a history of a plurality of operating states respectively corresponding to the first user inputs; receiving a recovery input; selecting a third state from among the plurality of operating state included in the history, based on the recovery input; and modifying the operating state of the medical diagnostic apparatus from the second state to the third state.

Abstract: A medical image displaying method comprising: displaying a medical image of an object captured in real time, and a first reference image of the object registered with the medical image; obtaining image information of a region adjacent to a first region within the medical image, wherein the first region is a distorted region of the medical image with respect to a shape of the object; predicting image information of the first region, based on the image information of the region adjacent to the first region; and reconstructing a region corresponding to the object within the first reference image, based on the predicted image information of the first region, and displaying the reconstructed region.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring electrocardiogram (ECG) using wireless communication, including a first measuring device and a second measuring device connected to each other using wireless communication, wherein the first measuring device includes a first electrode configured to measure a first signal generated by a heartbeat, and a slave signal generation unit configured to generate a slave signal based on the first signal and a wireless virtual ground signal received from the second measuring device, and the second measuring device includes a second electrode configured to measure a second signal generated by a heartbeat, a ground electrode configured to measure a ground signal, a wireless virtual ground unit configured to generate the wireless virtual ground signal based on the ground signal, and an ECG measuring unit configured to measure ECG based on the slave signal, the second signal, and the wireless virtual ground signal.

Abstract: A urinary control system for controlling urination has a first light source configured to selectively apply a first light and a second light to a bladder muscle and a second light source configured to selectively apply the first light and the second light to the urethral sphincter. A first optogene is expressed to the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter, and a second optogene is expressed to the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter, the first optogene contracts muscles by depolarizing membrane potential when the first light is applied, the second optogene relaxes muscles by depolarizing membrane potential when the second light is applied, and the contraction and relaxation of the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter are achieved counteractively via photostimulation by the first light and the second light, respectively, so as to control urination.
