Abstract: The disclosure relates to a tobacco material including a flavor material and a method of preparing the tobacco material. The tobacco material may have a core-shell structure in which a core includes a first tobacco mixture and a flavor material and is surrounded by a shell including a second tobacco mixture, such that the aerosol generating article including the tobacco material generates a characteristic flavor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides autotaxin (ATX) inhibitor compounds and compositions including said compounds. The present disclosure also provides methods of using said compounds and compositions for inhibiting ATX. Also provided are methods of preparing said compounds and compositions, and synthetic precursors of said compounds.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses tobacco material including: a center portion including a flavor material; and an outer portion including a tobacco mixture, wherein the outer portion surrounds the center portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a three-dimensional face image capturing method and comprises the steps of: capturing a face region of a user in a direction from a right chin to a left forehead; capturing the face region in a direction from a left forehead to a left chin; capturing the face region in a direction from a left chin to a right forehead; and capturing the face region in a direction from a right forehead to a center of face.

Abstract: Provided is a face pose correction apparatus for correcting a face pose, using a person-specific frontal model specialized for input three-dimensional (3D) facial data. The face pose correction apparatus may comprise: a generation unit for generating corrected first facial data by performing a 3D rigid transformation of input 3D facial data on the basis of a pre-stored 3D standard facial model; and a correction unit for generating a first subject-specialized frontal model which is a bilateral symmetry model of the first facial data, and correcting the first facial data by performing the 3D rigid transformation of the first facial data on the basis of the generated first subject-specialized frontal model.

Abstract: A health state determining method is disclosed, which includes receiving a facial image of a user, obtaining at least one user database (DB) image corresponding to the facial image, and determining a health state of the user by comparing the facial image to the at least one user DB image.

Abstract: A razor cartridge that includes: a frame for forming the exterior; a comb guard protruding from a front end of the frame, to align the hair during shaving; a first blade which is coupled to a first slot formed in the front end of the frame, and which is arranged adjacent to the rear portion of the comb guard, to cut the hair aligned by the comb guard; at least one second blade which is coupled to a second slot formed in the rear end of the cartridge frame, which further cuts the hair cut by the first blade. Accordingly, the hair aligned by the comb guard is firstly cut by a single blade, i.e. the first blade, and then the firstly cut hair is further cut by multiple blades, i.e. the second blades, thus performing shaving in a reliable manner regardless of the length or thickness of the hair.
