Abstract: Provided are a composition for culturing NK cells, and a method of culturing NK cells using the same. According to an aspect, in culturing NK cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, when NK cells are cultured in a medium including the composition for culturing NK cells, the composition including IL-15, IL-18, and IL-27, the NK cells may proliferate in large quantities and activation of NK cells may be promoted. Therefore, when the NK cells are used, cancer cell apoptosis or cancer cell-killing ability may be promoted. Accordingly, the NK cells may be used as an effective adoptive immune cell therapy product in cancer prevention or treatment.

Abstract: A display panel includes an amorphous silicon gate driver in which a lower voltage than the gate-off voltage output from the gate driver is applied to an adjacent stage as a low voltage transmission signal.

Abstract: A method of operating a memory system, which includes a memory controller and at least one non-volatile memory, includes storing, in the memory system, temperature-dependent performance level information received from a host disposed external to the memory system, setting an operation performance level of the memory system to a first performance level, operating the memory controller and the at least one non-volatile memory device according to the first performance level, detecting an internal temperature of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level of the memory system to a second performance level that is different from the first performance level. The operation performance level is changed by the memory controller of the memory system, and changing the operation performance level is based on the temperature-dependent performance level information and the detected internal temperature.

Abstract: In the case of a gas in which several gases are mixed, a type and concentration of the gas may be incorrectly measured when measured using only an optical band-pass filter. The invention of the present application is directed to providing a technology in which a plurality of broadband band-pass filters having overlapping regions are provided to calculate a magnitude of absorption for each wavelength band for light passing through each broadband band-pass filter, thereby identifying the presence of a gas of interest and the presence of a gas other than the gas of interest.

Abstract: A computing method for privacy-preserving data analysis is provided, in which the computing method is performed by at least one processor and includes receiving a data analysis request including data-to-be-analyzed from a client, homomorphically encrypting the data-to-be-analyzed using an encryption engine, and uploading the homomorphically encrypted data-to-be-analyzed to a target path of a blockchain, and then, the method includes, based on the request to check analysis result, decrypting an analysis result of the homomorphically encrypted data stored in a designated path of the blockchain by using the encryption engine, and providing the decrypted analysis result to the client, in which the analysis result of the homomorphically encrypted data is data analyzed by a worker linked to the blockchain, and stored in a designated path in association with the target path of the blockchain.

Abstract: A method and a device for receiving downlink traffic in a communication system supporting multiple links are disclosed. An operation method of a first device includes the steps of: transmitting a traffic indication map (TIM) through a first link from among multiple links; transmitting, through the first link, first information for indicating one or more links through which a data unit stored in the first device is transmitted; and using the one or more links indicated by the first information, so as to transmit the data unit to a second device indicated by the TIM.

Abstract: The fractal image compression device of the present invention contemplates a control unit for dividing a composite image into a plurality of range blocks and a plurality of domain blocks, classifying the range blocks and domain blocks into several classes according to their respective attributes, and controlling an overall operation of the device. A page memory stores image data received from an external source, and provides output of the image data via control of the control unit. A domain block memory receives first pixel data within the domain blocks from the page memory, and stores the first pixel data via control of the control unit. A range block memory receives second pixel data within the range blocks from the page memory, and stores the second pixel data via control of the control unit.

Abstract: A fractal image compression method performed in a digital image processing device includes the steps of: dividing image data representative of a composite image into a plurality of range blocks each having a first predetermined size; designating, for each of the range blocks, a plurality of domain blocks each having a second predetermined size, wherein each one of the plurality of domain blocks has a subportion that includes an entire portion of the corresponding range block; calculating coefficients of a contractive transformation function to match a plurality of spacially transformed domain blocks to each range block; calculating distortion errors between the range blocks and their corresponding pluralities of spacially transformed domain blocks; comparing the distortion errors among the spacially transformed domain blocks for each corresponding range block, and selecting a spacially transformed domain block having a minimum distortion error as a maximum similarity block for each corresponding range block;
