Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a preparation method for a super absorbent polymer capable of minimizing bubble loss during foam polymerization by a radical polymerization method. According to the preparation method of the present disclosure, a super absorbent polymer having a high surface area can be manufactured by forming many small and uniform pores. Since it exhibits an excellent absorption rate, it can be used in various products requiring high absorption properties.

Abstract: Provided herein is a mechanism to controllably move a wire within a flexible tubular member, the wire including opposed wire ends extending outwardly of a proximal end of the flexible tubular member, comprising a drive mechanism and a coupling located between the drive mechanism and the wire end, wherein movement of the coupling in the direction of the wire end results in opposed motion of the wire end.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for predicting whether a molecule will be a good mosquito repellent is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a machine-learned prediction model obtained by transfer learning. The model has been trained using a first, larger training dataset for an odour prediction task and with a second, smaller training dataset for predicting whether a molecule would function as a mosquito repellent. The method further includes obtaining input data that describes a chemical structure of a selected molecule, providing the input data that describes the chemical structure of the selected molecule as input to the machine-learned prediction model, receiving prediction data descriptive of whether the selected molecule would be a good mosquito repellent as an output of the machine-learned sensory prediction model and providing the prediction data as output.

Abstract: Chemical formulation property prediction can involve understanding each molecule individually and the mixture as a whole. Machine-learned models can be utilized to extract individual and holistic data to generate accurate predictions of the properties of mixtures. Properties that can include, but are not limited to, olfactory properties, taste properties, color properties, viscosity properties, and other commercially, industrially, or pharmaceutically beneficial properties.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an error detection IC including: a first interface unit configured to receive a first signal for outputting a specific fixed image to a display apparatus provided in a vehicle; a memory in which data for one or more fixed images are stored; a signal processing unit configured to select a fixed image to be output to the display apparatus from among the one or more fixed images, based on the first signal, and to output a second signal for outputting the selected fixed image to the display apparatus; an image determination unit configured to provide a signal informing an error of the fixed image to a controller of the vehicle, when it is determined that the error exists in data for the selected fixed image included in the second signal, based on the data stored in the memory; and a second interface unit configured to provide the second signal to a display module.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a display device provided in a vehicle and performing communication with at least one processor provided in the vehicle. The display device includes a first display configured to output first light forming first visual information, a supporting unit configured to support a mobile terminal having a second display, and a light synthesizing unit configured to transmit either one of the first light and second light output from the second display and reflect another light, wherein the supporting unit is spaced apart from the first display with the light synthesizing unit interposed therebetween, and supports the mobile terminal so that the second light is directed to the light synthesizing unit.
