  • Publication number: 20230047064
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solid personal care product comprising: a core layer containing a cleansing or conditioning component; and a skin layer containing a water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer. A solid personal care product produced according to the present invention solves the disadvantage that existing conventional solid cleansing agents or conditioning agents in powder, soap, or other flake form have of the powder scattering, as well as the problem of the cleansing power, conditioning efficacy, and fragrance-preserving property of such agents degrading. Moreover, the contents of the cleansing or conditioning component does not rub off onto the hands of a user even when the user holds the contents in the user's hands, and the shape of the product according to the present invention does not change even in places of high humidity.

  • Publication number: 20120017672
    Abstract: Provided is a tire pressure sensor (TPS) of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The TPS includes a detachable and angle-adjustable tire valve coupled to the front side of a tire pressure sensor housing. A holder bracket having a tire valve insertion hole is at the front side, and an insertion head inserted into the valve insertion hole is at an end of the tire valve. Accordingly, the angle of the tire valve is freely controlled, allowing compatible use regardless of the shape or size of wheels of cars and commercial vehicles. Thus, manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced, thereby obtaining superior competitiveness over competitors' products. Furthermore, air leakage through a wheel valve hole can be effectively prevented against high speed rotation and inertia motion caused by the high speed rotation during the driving of a vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20080003979
    Abstract: Provided is a method for tracking a lost mobile station. The method includes, when a replacement Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is installed, determining whether the replacement SIM card is registered as a licensed replacement SIM card; when the SIM card is not registered, transmitting a previously stored tracking short message to a preset destination; and upon receipt of a tracking response short message, setting a tracking lock mode for limiting use of some functions of the mobile station.

  • Publication number: 20050229061
    Abstract: A new test data compression method and decompression apparatus is invented for SoC (System-on-a-Chip) architecture. The method is based on analyzing the factors that influence test parameters: compression ratio and hardware overhead. To improve compression ratio, the proposed method is based on Modified Statistical Coding (MSC) and input reduction (IR) scheme, as well as a novel mapping and re-ordering algorithm proposed in a preprocessing step. Unlike previous approaches using the CSR architecture, the inventive method is to compress original test data, but not Tdiff, and decompress the compressed test data without the CSR architecture. Therefore, the proposed method leads to better compression ratio with lower hardware overhead than previous works. An experimental comparison on ISCAS '89 benchmark circuits validates the proposed method.
