Abstract: The present application relates to a method for continuously moving displayed information on an electronic display device according to the physical movement of a user so as to maintain the focus of the user's eyes on the content, and display apparatus thereof. By way of an example, this application will enable reading from an electronic display apparatus while the user and/or the display apparatus is in a dynamic environment, such as, while in a moving vehicle like car, train or bus and/or while working out in a cardiovascular machine like treadmills, elliptical machines, stairmasters, stepmills or stationary bikes. The method described herein includes continuously detecting the physical movement of the user using either (i) motion sensors attached to the person, or (ii) a camera to continuously capture the image of the user's face and/or the image of an identifiable object attached to the user.

Abstract: There is provided a method of preparation for a biodegradable co-polyester resin with improved hydrolysis resistance, the method including performing a primary esterification reaction between an aliphatic dihydroxy compound and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid compound, and performing a secondary transesterification reaction with addition of an aromatic dicarboxylate after the primary esterification reaction, in which a short chain alcohol-type branching agent is added to the primary esterification reaction or to the secondary transesterification reaction.

Abstract: There is provided a method of preparation for a biodegradable co-polyester, the method including: forming an oligomer through a primary esterification reaction between a hydroxy group of an aliphatic dihydroxy compound and a carboxylic group of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid compound; performing a secondary esterification reaction between the formed oligomer and an aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound; and performing a polycondensation reaction in a vacuum, in which sequentially divided addition of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound is performed and the weight ratio of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid compound with respect to the oligomer for each time of the sequentially divided addition is from 2:8 to 5:5. The method efficiently increases a solubility of aromatic dicarboxylic acid, thereby increasing a reaction rate and reducing a side reaction.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for tracing a motion of an object using high-resolution image data and low-resolution depth data acquired by a hybrid camera in a motion analysis system used for tracking a motion of a human being. The apparatus includes a data collecting part, a data fusion part, a data partitioning part, a correspondence point tracking part, and a joint tracking part. Accordingly, it is possible to precisely track a motion of the object by fusing the high-resolution image data and the low-resolution depth data, which are acquired by the hybrid camera.

Abstract: There are provided a resin composition for foaming including a biodegradable resin and a foamed article made thereof. The resin composition for foaming according to the present invention includes an ethylene-vinyl acetate resin, a biodegradable polyester resin containing a monomer of a double bond compound, a cross-linking agent, a co-crosslinking agent, a filler, and a foaming agent. In the resin composition, the double bond in the biodegradable polyester resin can be chemically cross-linked to the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin by a cross-linking agent, so that a compatibility with the ethylene-vinyl acetate resin can be improved, processability (mold releasability) during a mixing and melting process can be improved, and a foaming property and a mechanical property of a foamed article can be remarkably improved.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for processing a data stream using a cluster query, are provided. Collected queries are clustered into a predetermined vector space based on a feature vector of the collected queries. In response to a query received from a user, the received query is classified to a cluster and may be replaced with a centroid query of the cluster to which the received query belongs. The data stream processing apparatus processes the centroid query and provides an approximate result to the user.
