Abstract: An ultrasonic distance sensor is provided. The ultrasonic distance sensor according to an embodiment includes: a signal generator configured to generate a frequency-modulated continuous ultrasonic signal array; a gating switch configured to perform time gating to allow part of ultrasonic signals in the continuous ultrasonic signal array to pass therethrough; a transmitter configured to emit ultrasonic signals, having passed through the gating switch, toward an object; a receiver configured to receive an echo signal reflected from the object; and a signal processor configured to measure a location of the object by using the echo signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating a substrate. The method for treating a substrate comprises: treating the substrate with liquid; and drying the liquid-treated substrate, and the liquid treatment step includes: a first liquid supply step of supplying a first liquid to an upper surface of the rotating substrate; and a second liquid supply step of supplying a second liquid to an upper surface of the rotating substrate, and in the second liquid supply step, a rotation speed of the substrate is adjusted such that the second liquid supplied on the substrate flows from a central region of the substrate to an edge region of the substrate.

Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image encoding method performed by an image encoding apparatus may comprise determining an intra-prediction mode of a current block, configuring a reference sample of intra prediction by using at least one of a neighbor pixel of the current block in a current picture and a pixel of a reference picture, and performing intra prediction for the current block based on the intra-prediction mode and the reference sample.

Abstract: A novel strain, Lactobacillus paracasei ATG-E1 (Accession No. KCTC 14245BP), and a composition containing the same for preventing or treating respiratory diseases which are caused by fine particulate matter. The Lactobacillus paracasei ATG-E1 strain reduces the number of immune cells bronchoalveolar and lung tissues and inhibits the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-17A (IL-17A), tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP2), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-? (MIP-1?) or interleukin-6 (IL-6).

Abstract: An apparatus for estimating biological information may include a sensor configured to detect a first light signal and a second light signal from an object of a user and a processor configured to determine whether a condition for estimating biological information is satisfied based on the detected first light signal and estimate biological information based on the second light signal, wherein the sensor includes a force sensor configured to measure a force applied to the object when the object is in contact with a cover surface of the sensor.

Abstract: An apparatus for distance measurement using ultrasonic waves may include: a memory configured to store an applied voltage profile that indicate voltages to be applied to a transducer at a plurality of different operational frequencies of transducer, a transducer including a transmitter configured to generate ultrasonic waves with a frequency modulated waveform, and a receiver configured to receive an echo signal reflected back from a measurement object; and a processor configured to control the transducer based on the applied voltage profile, and measure a distance to the measurement object based on the echo signal.
