Abstract: An image decoding method comprises the steps of: obtaining a current coding tree unit (CTU) of a first size configuring a current picture; determining whether to implicitly divide the current coding tree unit; dividing the current coding tree unit into one or more coding units (CUs) based on the determination; obtaining, from a bitstream, division information for a current coding unit among the one or more coding units; and dividing and decoding the current coding unit..

Abstract: An image processing device comprises an image sensor including unit groups comprising a reference group and a conversion group each including pixels and color filters, and is configured to generate image data using the pixels, and an image signal processor which is configured to calculate a hash of the image data, and to select a filter corresponding to the hash to perform filtering, wherein the image signal processor includes a pixel index converter which is configured to convert indexes of the pixels based on a positional relationship between the pixels, a pixel property converter which is configured to convert the properties of the pixels and to convert the hash before conversion, and a filter coefficient converter which is configured to convert filter coefficients of the pixels based on the respective converted pixel index and the respective converted pixel property.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a use of an agarobiose or agarooligosaccharides having anticariogenic activity. More specifically, a lower concentration of agarobiose or agarooligosaccharides than the concentration of xylitol suppresses the growth of Streptococcus mutans and suppresses acid production, and thus can be used for anti-cariogenic purposes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing the severity of rheumatoid arthritis using metabolite analysis. The present invention provides a biomarker which is for classifying the severity of rheumatoid arthritis in patients suffering from same through the analysis of joint capsule fluid metabolites, and can be applied to a kit for more specifically classifying the severity of rheumatoid arthritis in patients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for metabolite sampling and analysis for reproducibly sampling as many metabolites as possible in a urine sample without changing to metabolites. The method has effects of presenting a biomarker detection method according to the sex or the like, by establishing optimal conditions for metabolite sampling in urine samples and presenting a metabolite comparison analysis method between different groups on the basis of the optimal conditions.

Abstract: A robot purifier including: a purifying part which draws, purifies, and discharges air; and a driving part which is located at a lower end of the purifying part and is capable of autonomous driving, wherein the purifying part is capable of rotating 360 degrees horizontally, and the purifying part also is capable of rotating vertically such that an air intake direction and an air discharge direction in the vertical and horizontal directions is controllable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Nelumbo nucifera callus having an increased content of gallic acid or an extract thereof and to a method for preparing the same. The Nelumbo nucifera callus extract according to the present invention has an excellent whitening effect by containing a large amount of gallic acid, and thus can be advantageously used as a cosmetic composition.
