  • Patent number: 8318045
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiation shielding member having improved radiation absorption performance, including 80.0˜99.0 wt % of a polymer matrix or metal matrix and 1.0˜20.0 wt % of a radiation shielding material in the form of nano-particles having a size of 10˜900 nm as a result of pulverization, wherein the radiation shielding material is homogeneously dispersed in the matrix through powder mixing or melt mixing after treatment with a surfactant which is the same material as the matrix or which has high affinity for the matrix. A preparation method thereof is also provided. This radiation shielding member including the nano-particles as the shielding material further increases the collision probability of the shielding material with radiation, compared to conventional shielding members including micro-particles, thus reducing the mean free path of radiation in the shielding member, thereby exhibiting superior radiation shielding effects.

  • Publication number: 20120003990
    Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a communication unit to detect a first device and to receive device information from the first detected device; a memory unit to store a search classification; a control unit to determine class and location information of the first detected device using device information received from the first detected device, and to control a search result to be displayed on a display unit. An information display method using a mobile terminal includes detecting devices within a reference proximity, receiving device information from a first detected device; storing a search classification in the mobile terminal; determining class information and location information of the first detected device, and comparing the class information with the stored search classification; and displaying a determination result.

  • Patent number: 8038979
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a metal oxide nano powder comprising preparing a first dispersed solution by adding a nano-sized metal powder to water and dispersing the metal powder within the water, performing a hydration reaction of the first dispersed solution at a temperature of about 30 to about 70° C. to generate a precipitation, and filtering and drying the precipitation to prepare a metal oxide powder. Also, disclosed is a metal oxide nano powder manufactured by the method described above, and having any one of a bar-form, a cube-form, and a fiber-form.

  • Patent number: 8025983
    Abstract: A joining method between Fe-based steel and Ti/Ti-based alloys having a joint strength higher than those of base metals by using interlayers. The production of intermetallic compounds at a joint portion between Fe-based steel and Ti/Ti-based alloys can be prevented using interlayers, and strong interface diffusion bonding can be formed at interfaces between interlayers, thereby producing a high-strength joint. Accordingly, the present disclosure can be used to develop high-strength, high-functional advanced composite materials.
