Abstract: Data analysis of a food item based on one or more digital images of the food item is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises displaying, on a display unit of the smart device, first and second digital images of a meal, where the first digital image is captured before the second digital image. The method also comprises determining a volume of each food item in the first digital image and a volume of each food item in the second digital image by analyzing the first digital image and the second digital image using a digital image processing technique. The method further comprises generating, on the display unit, an amount of intake for the meal based on a difference between the volume of each food item in the first digital image and the volume of each food item in the second digital image.

Abstract: Disclosed is an autologous non-human mammalian model system derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Also disclosed are methods of differentiating non-human primate iPS cells, which can result in populations of cells enriched for SOX2+ or PDX1+ foregut-like cells, for CDX2+ hindgut-like cells, for CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor-like cells, or epithelial-like cells. Also disclosed is a non-human primate containing an autologous cell type of interest, which is differentiated in vitro from an induced pluripotent stem cell reprogrammed from a primary somatic cell. Methods of monitoring exogenously introduced cells within a non-human mammal are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a power management apparatus and a multi-source energy harvesting system using the apparatus, which manage power supplied by individual harvesting sources without wasting the power, thus efficiently distributing the power to a battery. The power management apparatus includes a plurality of comparison units configured to compare voltages of storage devices respectively connected to output terminals of a plurality of harvesting power sources with a preset threshold voltage. A control unit is configured to control an operation of the power management apparatus. A plurality of switching units are installed between the storage devices and a battery and are configured to be turned on/off in response to switching control signals output from the control unit and to form power transmission paths between corresponding storage devices and the battery. The control unit generates and provides the switching control signals based on output signals of the comparison units.

Abstract: An LED (Light Emitting device) driving circuit is disclosed, the circuit characterized by: at least two LED strings (120); at least two constant current control blocks (140) for respectively controlling a current path of the at least two LED strings; a detector (160) for detecting a voltage in the at least two constant current control blocks; and a power supply (200) for supplying a driving power to the at least two LED strings (120) in response to the detected voltage.

Abstract: A method for operating a mobile terminal includes detecting whether pressure is applied via a plurality of sensors, detecting the level of the pressure, entering a call recording mode for recording content of a telephone call if the detected level of the pressure is greater than a reference value and the telephone call is established, and entering a memo mode if the detected level of the pressure is greater than the reference value and the telephone call is not established. Accordingly, a user can easily and conveniently utilize a function and rapidly perform a predetermined operation or function. Therefore, it is possible to increase user convenience.

Abstract: A display apparatus and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The method for operating a display apparatus includes acquiring biometric information about a user through a camera or a sensor unit, comparing the acquired biometric information with pre-stored authentication information, and switching the display apparatus to a first mode, if the acquired biometric information does not match with the pre-stored authentication information, the first mode restricting access to content predetermined from total content.

Abstract: Data sharing between networked smart devices is discussed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a method for data sharing with one or more associated smart devices via a network. The method comprises displaying, on a display unit of the smart device, an image for each one of the associated smart devices within coverage of the network and an image of shared data. The method also comprises effecting a change in a first image for a first smart device of the associated smart devices when the first smart device is targeted as a target device for the data sharing. The method further comprises communicating the shared data with the first smart device via the network when, on the display unit, the image of the shared data is moved to or from a domain of the first image of the first smart device.
