Abstract: A composition for enhancing protein strength according to the present invention contains an aminosilane compound capable of covalent binding with a protein of hair, scalp, skin, nails, leather, or textile, so that the protein and the amino silane compound form a covalent bond, and thus the composition can improve the protein strength enhancement effect and maximize the semi-permanent protein strength enhancement effect.

Abstract: Provided is an Al—Fe-alloy plated steel sheet for hot forming, having excellent TWB welding characteristics since excellent hardness uniformity of a TWB weld zone after hot forming is obtained by suitably controlling a batch annealing condition, after plating Al, such that an Al—Fe-alloy layer is formed; a hot forming member; and manufacturing methods therefor.

Abstract: Disclosed is composite powder comprising infrared-ray blocking particles; and ultraviolet-ray blocking particles coated onto one surface of each of the infrared-ray blocking particles, and cosmetics composition using the same, wherein the composite powder using both the infrared-ray blocking particle and the ultraviolet-ray blocking particle enables to simultaneously block the infrared and ultraviolet rays. Thus, if the composite powder of the present invention is applied to the cosmetics, it is possible to minimize the rough wrinkles, irregular pigmentary deposits, loss of skin elasticity, disturbance of skin barrier function, skin damages such as cancer of the skin, and skin aging, and also to boost SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and PA (Protection Factor of UVA) of the related art sunscreen.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a device for rotating a transducer of an ultrasonic probe, which has a simple manufacturing process and a small size. The device may comprise: a drive motor; a pulley rotatably driven by the drive motor; wire-ropes wound around the pulley; a rotatable transducer having a plurality of ultrasonic elements; and buffer springs connecting one ends of the wire-ropes and the transducer, the buffer springs being attached to the transducer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an ultrasonic probe having a device for coupling a wire-rope to a transducer. A worker can easily couple the wire-rope to the transducer and can conveniently adjust the tension of the wire-rope. The ultrasonic probe has a pair of wire-ropes transmitting a drive force from a driving portion to the transducer by alternately pulling it at both sides thereof for rotating the transducer. The device comprises a wire-rope tightening bolt having a through-hole to which a wire-rope is inserted, wherein the wire-rope tightening bolt is rotatably coupled to the transducer.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes an elongated member having a longitudinal axis and a distal housing; a transducer having a transducing surface, the transducer pivotally disposed in the housing and configured so that the transducing surface is capable of selectively rotating between a first position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a second position at least collinear with the longitudinal axis; a transmission unit coupled to the transducer to rotate the transducer between the first and second positions; and a location detector coupled to the transmission unit to provide a signal corresponding to an orientation of the transducer between the first and second positions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for pivoting an ultrasound element assembly of a probe in an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus. A pivot shaft is rotatably coupled to a base and supports the ultrasound element assembly. A wire holder is coupled to the pivot shaft. A driving motor is mounted to the base and has a driving shaft. A wire rope assembly includes a housing connected to the driving shaft of the driving motor to be rotated together therewith, an elastic member provided in the housing, and a pair of wire ropes, a first end of each wire rope being connected to the wire holder and a second end of each wire rope being connected to the elastic member.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is disclosed. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a housing exposing one side of a diagnosis target while supporting the diagnosis target so as to maintain a shape of the diagnosis target, an oblique part obliquely formed on the housing to support the diagnosis target, and a probe unit disposed inside the housing to examine the diagnosis target. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus ensures efficient diagnosis of the overall diagnosis target without excessive compression of the diagnosis target causing examinee discomfort, and can support the diagnosis target so as to maintain the shape of the diagnosis target, thereby ensuring the provision of a constant quality of ultrasonic images upon repetitious diagnosis of the diagnosis target while improving reproducibility of diagnosis results.

Abstract: A biopsy device and a biopsy device integrated-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus are disclosed. The biopsy device includes a needle collecting a sample tissue from a diagnosis target, a needle guide guiding a movement path of the needle, and a biopsy kit with the needle guide movably disposed therein in a direction in which the needle is inserted into the diagnosis target. The biopsy device compressively supports a local point of the diagnosis target into which the needle will be inserted for biopsy, so that the shape of the diagnosis target is prevented from being changed upon insertion of the needle, thereby enhancing precision of biopsy diagnosis results while reducing examinee discomfort and inconvenience.

Abstract: A separable biopsy device integrated-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is disclosed. The separable biopsy device integrated-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus exposing one side of a diagnosis target and examining the diagnosis target at the other side of the diagnosis target, and a biopsy device located at the exposed side of the diagnosis target and detachably coupled to the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. The apparatus can perform ultrasound diagnosis and biopsy together, thereby providing the convenience of allowing the ultrasound diagnosis and the biopsy to be performed with a single apparatus, and can perform a biopsy based on ultrasound images obtained using the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus without changing a position of a diagnosis target, enabling precise determination as to a position to be biopsied, that is, a target position into which the needle of the biopsy device will be inserted.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe capable of probing a curved surface is disclosed in one embodiment in accordance with the disclosure as including a housing, a transducer, a guide part and a drive part.
