Abstract: Devices, compositions, and methods for handling, separating, packaging, and utilization of spermatozoa (1) that can be derived from previously frozen sperm samples collected from a male mammal. Specifically, techniques to uniformly stain (2) spermatozoal DNA even when derived from previously frozen sperm and separation techniques to separate and isolate spermatozoa even when derived from previously frozen sperm samples into X-chromosome bearing and Y-chromosome bearing populations having high purity.

Abstract: An automatic and continuous method is presented to improve the accuracy of fiber optic distributed temperature measurements derived from Raman back scatterings utilizing two light sources with different wavelengths, by choosing the wavelengths of the two sources so the primary source's return anti-Stokes component overlaps with the incident wavelength of the secondary light source thereby canceling out the non-identical attenuations generated by the wavelength differences between Stokes and anti-Stokes bands.

Abstract: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection utilizing sex-selected equine spermatozoa to obtain viable sex selected embryos transferable to a recipient female equine mammal to obtain sex selected foals.

Abstract: A new step-index multimode pure silica core fiber for DTS (Distributed Temperature Sensing) system particularly useful for downhole environments is disclosed and described. The new sensor system provides optimum tradeoffs between coupling power, spatial resolution, and temperature resolution.

Abstract: A mobile terminal and an operating method thereof are provided. The operating method includes providing a transparent flexible display having a first display region at the front of the transparent flexible display and a second display region at the rear of the transparent flexible display; displaying an image in the first display region; determining whether a bend signal indicating that the transparent flexible display is bent is detected; and if the results of the determining indicate that a portion of the second display region has the same display direction as that of the first display region, displaying information regarding the image in the portion of the second display region having the same display direction as that of the first display region. Therefore, it is possible to display various information not only using a display region at the front of a display device but also using a display region at the rear of the display device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile terminal equipped with flexible display. The controller changes a screen displayed on the flexible display or controls the operation according to a bent part of the flexible display.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing a desired range of point-to-ground resistance to trays, by making a conductive pathway between both surfaces of the tray after forming and cutting processes. A desired range of point-to-ground resistance of the tray can be achieved by partially or entirely coating a conductive solution composed of a conductive polymersuch as polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene and derivatives such as poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene and mixtures thereof, metal powders and flakes composed of iron, copper, aluminum and other metals, metal oxides such as doped tin oxide and indium oxide, onto cut surfaces of the tray, by attaching a conductive or semi-conductive tape to top and bottom surfaces of the tray so as to cross them, or by using a metal clip. Thereby, a desired range of point-to-ground resistance can be provided to the tray by electrically connecting the top and bottom surfaces of the tray.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a linear compressor wherein a compression unit, including a cylinder and a linear motor, is supported by a frame mounted in a hermetic container. The frame is die cast using diamagnetic zinc having a high forming accuracy, thereby preventing an electromagnetic force of the linear motor from being leaked therethrough, and enabling a reduction in the number of machining times thereof after die casting.

Abstract: A flow cytometry system (1) for sorting haploid cells, specifically irradiatable sperm cells, with an intermittingly punctuated radiation emitter (56). Embodiments include a beam manipulator (21) and even split radiation beams directed to multiple nozzles (5). Differentiation of sperm characteristics with increased resolution may efficiently allow differentiated sperm cells to be separated higher speeds and even into subpopulations having higher purity.

Abstract: An IVF system for successfully utilizing spermatozoa separated into X-chromosome bearing and into Y-chromosome bearing population for insemination. The IVF system includes fertilization medium that can shorten the time from insemination to cleavage and a portable incubator for the transportation of maturing oocytes and inseminated oocytes comrprising a straw (19) and an incubation element (20) that can be sealed with a cap (22).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a linear compressor having a stator cover, which is designed in such a fashion that a section of the stator cover not to be fastened with bolts has a curvature smaller than the remaining section thereof to be fastened with the bolt so as to be reduced in size thereof. This enables the stator cover to be spaced apart from the shell by a sufficient distance, thereby achieving a size reduction of the shell and a small-scale linear compressor.
