Abstract: Proposed is a method of manufacturing a carbon precursor fiber for a gas diffusion layer having excellent tensile properties (e.g., strength and modulus) by controlling the cross-sectional shape of carbon fiber. The method includes preparing a polyacrylonitrile-based copolymer, preparing spinning products by spinning a spinning solution containing the polyacrylonitrile-based copolymer in a coagulation bath, and obtaining a carbon precursor fiber by drawing the spinning products through heat treatment. The coagulation bath includes an amount of about 60% to 90% by volume of methanol and an amount of about 10% to 40% by volume of dimethylformamide based on the total volume of the coagulation bath.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a menu provision method using gestures. In the menu provision method, a first gesture of a user which is performed on the specific area of the screen of a mobile terminal is recognized while the function of the mobile terminal is being performed. A menu start sign, which is used for displaying a menu ribbon, is displayed on the screen in response to the first gesture. Thereafter, the menu ribbon is displayed in response to a second gesture of the user which is performed on the menu start sign.
