Abstract: In an operation control method of an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, when a steering operation is performed on both of a first joystick lever and a second joystick lever to return to neutral positions after the steering operation, a lever which is always pivoted in an adduction direction is set to a function activation state, or a lever set to the function activation state during the steering operation is continuously maintained in the function activation state until the return to the neutral position is completed after the steering operation. In the present way, a user can more easily recognize the joystick lever in the function activation state.

Abstract: An integrated operation apparatus for an autonomous vehicle, includes a joystick lever used to accelerate, decelerate, and steer the vehicle, an acceleration and deceleration actuator module and a steering actuator module each include a position sensor module to generate signals related to the acceleration, deceleration, and steering of the vehicle when the joystick lever module is operated, and a torque sensor module is used to feedback control a steering motor during steering operation, realizing more precise steering sensation.

Abstract: A method of controlling operation of an integrated control apparatus for autonomous vehicles includes setting one joystick lever touched first by a user between a first joystick lever and a second joystick lever to a function activation state, or setting any one joystick lever with a larger steering operation force to the function activation state at the time of steering the first joystick lever and the second joystick lever together. User fatigue when operating the joystick levers is reduced.

Abstract: A content container is provided according to one embodiment of the present invention. The content container includes: a container body accommodating content; a neck portion which is formed on the upper end of the container body and has an opening portion formed therein, the opening portion being in communication with the inside of the container body; and a discharge portion which is at least partially accommodated in the neck portion so as to seal the opening portion and has a nozzle portion for discharging the content, on the upper portion thereof. The discharge portion has at least one communication hole formed in the lower end thereof, for transferring the content in the container body to the nozzle portion. When the discharge portion is descended from a first position to a second position by the external force of a user, the communication hole is exposed to the inside of the container body so that the content in the container body can be transferred to the nozzle portion via the communication hole.

Abstract: A method for screening a functional material according to the present invention comprises steps of: treating a linker material-coated substrate with a capture protein; treating the capture protein-treated substrate with a functional material candidate; treating the functional material candidate-treated substrate with biotin-conjugated IgE; and treating the biotin-bound IgE-treated substrate with fluorescently labeled streptavidin.
