Abstract: A unit page buffer block includes first to fourth page buffer pairs. Each of the page buffer pairs includes a common column decoder block; and an upper page buffer stage and a lower page buffer stage electrically and commonly connected to the common column decoder block. Each of the upper page buffer stages includes an upper selection block; an upper latch block; and an upper cache block. Each of the lower page buffer stage includes a lower selection block; a lower latch block; and a lower cache block. Each of the upper selection blocks includes first to fourth sub-selection blocks. Each of the upper and lower latch blocks includes first to twelfth upper sub-latch blocks. Each of the upper and lower cache blocks includes first to twelfth upper sub-cache blocks. Each of the common column decoder block includes first to third sub-common column decoder blocks arranged in a row direction.

Abstract: A curable composition is capable of forming a thick film having excellent curing characteristics even at a relatively low temperature and is capable of securing an excellent level of thermal conductivity as well as a desired level of appropriate adhesion force while having fast curing characteristics. A battery pack to which the curable composition is applied, and a device comprising the battery pack are also provided.

Abstract: A method of predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition is provided to predict the occurrence of diseases caused by brain amyloid-beta deposition, including Alzheimer's disease, in Koreans. More specifically, a method of providing information is provided for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition. A composition and a kit is provided for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition. The method of providing information for predicting the likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition may effectively screen individuals with a high likelihood of brain amyloid-beta deposition at an early stage, thereby providing an appropriate method of inhibiting the development of a disease caused by brain amyloid-beta deposition or treating an individual having the disease.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a double-stranded oligonucleotide capable of inhibiting amphiregulin expression in a very specific and highly efficient manner, preferably a double-stranded oligonucleotide comprising a sequence in the form of an RNA/RNA, DNA/DNA or DNA/RNA hybrid, and the use of a double-stranded oligonucleotide structure, which comprises the double-stranded oligonucleotide, and nanoparticles, for preventing or treating obesity.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus may include an engine portion used to perform an image forming job, a step motor configured to start the engine portion, a driver including a resistor that measures current that flows to a coil of the step motor and is configured to provide a predetermined constant current to the step motor, and a drive controller configured to measure a load level of the step motor based on a voltage value of the resistor and to control the driver to provide the constant current that corresponds to the measured load level.

Abstract: Disclosed are a memory storing apparatus and method for preventing data loss after power loss. A memory storing method includes: determining a plurality of first user blocks scheduled to write data among a plurality of user blocks in which data is written, based on a recovery time of a mapping table required by a user; writing data in the determined first user blocks; writing a first mapping table in a spare area and a last page of the first user blocks in which the data is written; and switching the first user blocks written in the system page into second user blocks in which the data is completely written when data is written in all the first user blocks and writing a second mapping table for the switched second user blocks in a map page of a map block.

Abstract: An apparatus for filtering airborne radioactive iodine is provided. The apparatus includes a housing defining an interior space and comprising an inlet for receiving air and an outlet for discharging the air; and a composition placed in the interior space for trapping airborne radioactive iodine between the inlet and the outlet. The composition comprises one or more salts selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal chloride and an alkaline earth metal chloride. A method of filtering airborne radioactive iodine is further provided. The method includes providing the foregoing apparatus at a nuclear facility and blowing air to flow from the inlet to the outlet and contact the composition placed in the interior space, whereby airborne radioactive iodine is trapped in the interior space.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing flash memory based on recognition of patterns of write-target data are disclosed. A data analysis unit analyzes bit storage patterns that are stored in cells of the flash memory, and a data matching unit matches corresponding alternative patterns to the bit storage patterns based on the results of the analysis of the data analysis unit. According to the present invention, the reliability and durability of NAND flash memory can be improved because a minimum number of “0” bits are stored in a page. Furthermore, the application of the technology is easy and simple because a memory controller can perform management without changes in the structure and cell arrangement of a NAND flash device.
