Abstract: An apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is for automatically managing a helmet. Because the inside of a helmet may be sterilized and dried in a short time, a comfortable safety helmet may be ensured even during a short break time. Also, because charging may be performed without removing attachments such as an IoT device, an electronic device, and an illumination light from the helmet, the inconvenience of time and effort spent on attaching and detaching the attachments may be eliminated. Also, because the attachments such as the IoT device, the electronic device, and the illumination light may be charged at every break in the middle of work, a required capacity of a rechargeable battery may be reduced, a weight of the attachments may be reduced, and thus, the burden on the user to use the helmet may be reduced.

Abstract: The subject invention is directed to a mixed cell composition to generate a therapeutic protein at a target site by providing a first population of mammalian cells transfected or transduced with a gene that is sought to be expressed, and a second population of mammalian cells that have not been transfected or transduced with the gene, wherein endogenously existing forms of the second population of mammalian cells are decreased at the target site, and wherein generation of the therapeutic protein by the first population of mammalian cells at the target site stimulates the second population cells to induce a therapeutic effect.

Abstract: A disc type determining apparatus in a disc recording and reproducing apparatus in which vibrations generated by rotations of a disc occur in a focus and tracking control actuator includes an error gain adjusting unit, which adjusts an amplitude of a focus and tracking error in order to maintain a constant amplitude of the focus and tracking error; a loop gain adjusting unit which compares the closed loop phase of the focus and tracking control loop and a predetermined reference closed loop phase, and maintains a constant gain of the focus and tracking control loop; a vibration measuring unit which measures vibrations using the adjusted error and the output of a controller; and a disc type determining unit which extracts a predetermined signal to determine the type of a disc using the measured vibrations, measures the deflection, eccentricity, and mass eccentricity of a disc using the extracted signal.

Abstract: The present application discloses a method of preventing degeneration of nerve, which includes: a) generating a recombinant viral or plasmid vector comprising a DNA sequence encoding a member of a transforming growth factor superfamily or neurotrophic factor proteins operatively linked to a promoter; b) transfecting in vitro a population of cultured cells with the recombinant vector, resulting in a population of the cultured cells; and c) transplanting the transfected cells to an area near an injured nerve, such that expression of the DNA sequence within the area near the injured nerve causes prevention of degeneration of the nerve.

Abstract: An apparatus to remove periodic disturbances in a recording medium having large eccentricity and deflection mass includes an actuator to change a position of a pickup in response to a combination of first and second compensation signals, an error detector to detect an error between positions actuator and the recording medium, a first compensator to receive the detected error and to output the first compensation signal that the actuator uses to actuate the pickup along the recording medium in upper and lower directions, and right and left directions; and a second compensator to output the second compensation signal from which the disturbance has been removed, to combine the compensated error and previous first and second compensation signals, and to filter the combined result at a predetermined bandwidth.
