Abstract: Disclosed herein are a catalyst for hydrocracking reaction of high molecular weight components in bio-oil, a method for preparing the same and a method for bio-oil upgrading using the same. The catalyst includes a zeolite carrier; and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of nickel (Ni), ruthenium (Ru) and cerium (Ce) supported on the carrier. The catalyst promotes the hydrocracking of high molecular weight compounds contained in the bio-oil, but also inhibits the polymerization reaction of the decomposed product, thereby more effectively enhancing the hydrocracking reaction of the bio-oil.

Abstract: A refrigerator comprises a storage compartment configured to store food, a temperature detector configured to detect an internal temperature of the storage compartment, a cooler configured to supply cool air to the storage compartment, a microphone configured to receive a speech, a display configured to display information, at least one processor configured to be electrically connected to the temperature detector, the microphone, and the display; and a memory configured to be electrically connected to the at least one processor.

Abstract: Provided is a system, server, and method for speech recognition capable of collectively setting a plurality of setting items for device control through an utterance of a single sentence provided in the form of natural language. The system includes: a home appliance configured to receive a speech command that is generated through an utterance of a single sentence for control of the home appliance; and a server configured to receive the speech command in the single sentence from the home appliance and interpret the speech command of the single sentence through multiple intent determination.

Abstract: An optical element capable of increasing an angular field while improving luminance by condensing light, and a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display including the same. The optical element includes a light-transmitting base film; a plurality of diffusing cavities or convex diffusing structures formed in one surface of the base film to diffuse light entering the base film; and a light-condensing pattern formed in the surface of the base film where the diffusing cavities or convex diffusing structures are formed so as to condense incident light.

Abstract: An optical device which maintains luminance characteristics to the greatest extent, improves light-collecting effects, and realizes a wide viewing angle, and a backlight unit and an LCD including the same. The optical device includes a light-transmitting base film. A plurality of convex portions is formed on at least one surface of the base film, and microscopic optical patterns have peaks and valleys, which abut each other, on part of the convex portions. Alternatively, a plurality of third fine optical patterns is formed on at least one surface of the base film. A portion of each third fine optical patterns abutting the base film forms a figure having long and short axes. Each of the third fine optical patterns has a peak with a height that decreases from the center to both ends thereof along the long axis.

Abstract: Disclosed is a digital broadcast signal reception set-top box facilitating resolution settings for a digital broadcast signal. The set-top box has a receiver for receiving a digital broadcast signal, a resolution converter for converting the digital broadcast signal to a signal having a predetermined resolution value, an output part for outputting to an external display device the digital broadcast signal having the resolution value converted by the resolution converter, and a controller for controlling the resolution converter and the output part to sequentially output at predetermined time intervals the digital broadcast signal having the different resolution values and to output, in case that a selection command is inputted for the resolution value from external, the digital broadcast signal converted to a resolution value corresponding to the selection command.

Abstract: A flexible self-expandable stent comprises a plurality of radially cylindrical elastic units spaced at fixed intervals, a cylindrical cover fixing member which sheaths the cylindrical elastic units, and a reverse flow preventing valve. The reverse flow preventing valve is attached to the inner wall of the stent, for preventing food-stuffs or fluids from flowing from a downstream side to an upstream side. The flexible self-expandable stent exhibits improved flexibility so that when the stent is disposed in a curved lumina, it can flexibly correspond to the curvature of the lumina and prevent the reverse flow of foodstuffs or fluids by use of the reverse flow preventing valve.

Abstract: A device for receiving a digital broadcasting satellite (DBS) signal, includes a controller for generating a first signal for selecting a program guide signal included in the DBS signal and a second signal for selecting one of a plurality of programs which are included in the program guide signal, in response to input of certain key signals; a decoder for decoding the program guide signal in response to the first signal; a storing unit for separating and storing the decoded program guide signal as position data, channel data and video data; a signal compressing unit for compressing the video data corresponding to the second signal; a mixer for mixing the decoded program guide signal as a main screen signal with the compressed video data as a sub-screen signal; and a display unit for displaying the signals mixed by the mixer.
