  • Patent number: 11925581
    Abstract: A capsulorhexis device is inserted into an incision site of a cornea to make an incision in an anterior capsule surrounding a crystalline lens. The capsulorhexis device includes a loop having elasticity and conductivity; a moving member having one end fixed and coupled to the loop; an insertion guide configured so that, while the incision is being made in the crystalline lens capsule, a front end thereof is inserted into the incision site of the cornea; and a housing having one end coupled to a rear end of the insertion guide, wherein the loop is housed in the housing and, to make the incision in the crystalline lens capsule, slides in the housing together with the moving member to pass through the insertion guide and be deployed into an anterior chamber of the eye.

  • Patent number: 11495012
    Abstract: A semi-supervised learning method for object detection in an autonomous vehicle and a device for performing semi-supervised learning for object detection in an autonomous vehicle can include receiving, by a server, no-label voxel data from a vehicle, performing, by the server, a data-based update on a server object detection model on the basis of label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, determining, by the server, a loss value on the basis of the label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, and performing, by the server, a loss-based update on the server object detection model using the loss value.

  • Patent number: 8022050
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a TRPA1 activation inhibitor, more precisely a TRPA1 activity inhibitor containing isopentenyl pyrophosphate and a method for inhibiting pain containing the step of administering isopentenyl pyrophosphate to a subject. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate of the present invention can regulate pain caused by TRPA1, so that it can be effectively used for the development of a pain inhibitor which is effective but has less side effects.

  • Patent number: 7960130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activation of TRPA1 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily A, member 1) using acetaldehyde, more precisely a method for selecting a candidate for TRPA1 activation blocker from neurons activated by acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde of the present invention works on TRPA1 specifically so that it facilitates the isolation of sensory neurons expressing TRPA1. Therefore, acetaldehyde of the invention can be effectively used for the studies on TRPA1 mechanisms and the development of a TRPA1 based anodyne.

  • Patent number: 7915012
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activation of TRPV2 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 2) using probenecid, more precisely a method for selecting a candidate for TRPV2 blocker using probenecid. Probenecid of the present invention works on TRPV2 specifically so that it facilitates the isolation of sensory neurons expressing TRPV2. Therefore, probenecid of the invention can be effectively used for the studies on TRPV2 mechanisms and the development of a TRPV2 based anodyne.

  • Patent number: 7763429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activating TRPV3 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 3) using FPP (farnesyl diphosphate) and a method for screening a TRPV3 activity inhibitor. FPP of the present invention has TRPV3 specific activity and therefore it can be effectively used for the study on TRPV3 mechanism and functions and for the development of a TRPV3 based pain reliever.

  • Publication number: 20100137260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a TRPV3 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 3) activity inhibitor, more precisely to a method for inhibiting TRPV3 activity including the step of treating isopentenyl pyrophosphate and a method for treating skin disease containing the step of administering isopentenyl pyrophosphate to a subject with skin disease or applying the same on the skin of the subject. Isopentenyl pyrophosphate of the present invention controls increase of sensory cell reactivity to current or migration and proliferation of skin cells induced by TRPV3, so that it can be effectively used for the development of a pain reliever or a therapeutic agent for skin disease.

  • Patent number: 6673840
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of metabolites produced from arachiconic acid by the catalytic action of lipoxygenase as capsaicin-channel or- receptor agonists. The lipoxygenase metavolites of arachidonic acid and their derivatives can activate the capsaicin channel to excite pain nerves, causing serious pain. In contrast, the capsaicin channel activation of the pain nerves, so that an analgesic effects are brought about. The lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid can be used as an analgesic and in searching for and developing analgesics.
