Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a first substrate having an array of wiring lines and pixel regions. The pixel regions have pixel electrodes, thin film transistors with drain electrodes, and storage capacitors. The LCD also includes a second substrate having color filters, black matrices, opened regions to receive external light positioned in regions in which the black matrices are not positioned, and transparent common electrodes. Liquid crystal is between the first and second substrates. The opened regions correspond to first regions in which the drain electrodes and the pixel electrodes are connected and second regions in which the storage capacitors are positioned. In one embodiment, the liquid is driven in a normally white mode when the LCD is driven in a transmissive mode, and is driven in a normally black mode when the LCD is driven in a reflective mode.

Abstract: A thin type reformer for a fuel cell is provided, and includes a substrate, fuel filling portion, reformer portion, CO remover, and cover. The substrate forms a passage within. The fuel filling portion fills the passage with fuel. The reformer portion forms a passage to one side of the fuel filling portion in the substrate, and the CO remover forms a passage at an opposite side of the fuel filling portion in the substrate. The cover covers the top of the substrate and seals the passages. The fuel filling portion partitions the reformer portion's heat absorbing reaction and the CO remover's heat radiating reaction and induces a reforming reaction. The reacting efficiencies of the reformer portion and the CO remover substantially increase. Because a compact air supplying pump can be used due to an inner pressure reduction in the CO remover, the entire device can be miniaturized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for moving a transducer of an ultrasonic probe in an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for acquiring a 3-dimensional ultrasound image. A motor for generating power to move the transducer and guide rails for guiding the movement of the transducer are mounted to the frame. The rotational force of a driving shaft of the motor is transmitted to a driven shaft through pulleys and belts. A portion of a wire is wound around the driven shaft and both ends of the wire are fixed to two opposing surfaces of the transducer. A reel having a spiral groove on the peripheral surface is coupled to the driven shaft. The wire is wound along the spiral groove.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for guiding the movement of a transducer of an ultrasonic probe in an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for acquiring a 3-dimensional ultrasound image. A pair of guide rails is disposed near both side-ends of the transducer and is disposed apart therefrom by predetermined gaps. Slots are formed lengthwise at side surfaces of the guide rails. Each slot has a bottom wall and a side wall. Bearings coupled to the both side-ends of the transducer are received in the slots and roll on the bottom walls of the slots. First magnets are fixed to the both side-ends of the transducer and second magnets are fixed to the side walls of the slots along the overall length of the slots. The first magnets are received in the slots and are disposed opposite to the second magnets so that repulsive forces are generated therebetween.

Abstract: Provided is a target apparatus of high durability so that a thin film is not deformed or damaged under an environment of high temperature and high pressure generated during a nuclear reaction between proton and H218O concentrate, and a productivity of 18F can be increased. The target apparatus includes a cavity member having a cavity, in which H218O concentrate is received, for producing 18F using a nuclear reaction between proton irradiated onto the H218O concentrate in the cavity and the H218O concentrate.

Abstract: A yeast extract or yeast-derived bioactive peptide having an activity of selectively inhibiting reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which can be effectively used in preventing or treating various diseases related to reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, especially depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue and obesity are provided. Also, a yeast extract or yeast-derived bioactive peptide having activities as an anti-stress agent, an anti-fatigue agent, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menstrual pain relaxants, and a brain-neurotrophic factor, and a method for preparing the bioactive peptide are provided. The yeast extract or yeast-derived bioactive peptide is effective in relieving stress, nervousness, anxiety, tension, insomnia, fatigue, and imbalance in the autonomic nerve regulation.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for representing a multi-level LOD three-dimensional image. The present invention configures a multi-level LOD hierarchical mesh for each hierarchical level with a different LOD level by arranging triangular patches of a upper hierarchical level(lower resolution) to have approximately k×k of triangular patches of an lower hierarchical level (higher resolution) and samples information on height of a target image to allocate the sampled height information to each vertex of the triangular patches included in the multi-level LOD hierarchical mesh, determines an LOD of each triangular patch according to a view point of a virtual camera, and connects the adjacent triangular patches without gaps when adjacent triangular patches among the triangular patches of the multi-level LOD hierarchical mesh have different LOD levels.
