Abstract: Methods for pen-specific user interface controls are performed by systems and devices. Users activate pen-specific menus at user devices by activating controls of a touch pen such as a tail button. A communication is received by a device, from a touch pen, that indicates an activation control of the touch pen has been physically activated. The user device selects a touch pen menu that includes selectable menu options for respective launching of separate pen applications from among available menus based at least on the received communication. The device determines menu presentation information specifying a location within a user interface (UI) from a state of the UI at a time associated with the communication. The touch pen menu is displayed via the UI according to the menu presentation information. A detection for selection of a selectable menu option causes the device to launch a pen application associated therewith.

One example provides a computing device, comprising a first portion comprising a first display and a first touch sensor, and a second portion comprising a second display and a second touch sensor, the second portion connected to the first via a hinge, the hinge defining a seam between the first display and the second display. The computing device is configured to receive a touch input at the first display moving an application that is currently displayed on the first display and not on the second display toward the second display, detect the touch input releasing the application within a predetermined area, and span the application across the first display and the second display.

Abstract: An electronic device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a touch screen. The electronic device includes a communication interface that may receive, from a touch pen, a pulse wave signal of a user which is measured from a finger of the user by the touch pen while the touch pen is placed on the touch screen. The electronic device includes a processor that may determine whether a measurement posture of the user is appropriate based on whether the finger touches the touch screen, and in response to determining that the user's measurement posture is appropriate, estimate bio-information of the user based on the received pulse wave signal.

Abstract: A composition according to an embodiment of the present disclosure can be used for inhibiting tumor proliferation and includes a Salvia plebeia extract as an effective component. It was found that, as a result of binding to PD-L1 present on a surface of cancer cell, Salvia plebeia extract blocks the interaction between cancer cell and PD-1 present on a surface of immune T cell to activate T cells and exhibit an inhibitory effect on tumor proliferation. It was also found that, according to co-culture of cells of colon cancer, breast cancer, or lung cancer with T cells, the group treated with Salvia plebeia extract shows higher effect of causing cancer cell death.

Abstract: Proposed is a blender in which multiple blades have different bending or twisting angles. The blender includes a container body in which food is received, a main body provided under the container body and configured to support the container body, a container lid mounted detachably to the upper surface of the container body and configured to open and close the upper surface of the container body, and a blade assembly which crushes food contained in the container body by blades. The blade assembly includes a main blade unit having multiple main blades, and an auxiliary blade unit having an auxiliary blade located between the multiple main blades, wherein the multiple main blades have bending or twisting angles different from each other. In such a blender, the cutting efficiency of food materials is improved and noise is decreased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fire pre-detection device and, particularly, to a fire pre-detection device for pre-detecting a fire on the basis of the difference between a temperature of a thermal image acquired by a thermal imaging camera and a temperature of a differential thermal image, and finally detecting the fire by using a flame detector. The fire pre-detection device according to the present invention can pre-detect a fire sign or a fire through a thermal image and finally detect the fire through the flame detector, so as to pre-detect a fire and more clearly detect the occurrence of a fire.
