Abstract:
Disclosed are an optical pointing module and an electronic apparatus that are reduced in size in order to be used in a personal portable terminal. An optical pointing module according to an aspect of the invention may include: a laser light source mounted on a printed circuit board; an outer housing through which laser light, emitted from the laser light source, is transmitted; a light receiving unit located on the printed circuit board, receiving the laser light being reflected from the outer housing by an external stimulus, and transmitting an electrical signal to an integrated circuit; and an inner housing received in the outer housing and having a passage recess, through which the laser light passes, and a contact surface coming into contact with an inner surface of the outer housing, the contact surface having a height different from that of a surface of the inner housing having the passage recess therein.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to methods of inducing cell recruitment and tissue regeneration at a target site in a subject. It is also based, in part, on the discovery that a subject's own biologic resources and environmental conditions can be used for in situ tissue regeneration and thereby reduce or eliminate the need for donor cell procurement and ex vivo manipulation of such donor cells. Methods are disclosed for recruitment of a subject's own stem cells to a target region by inducing a sustained positive pressure at a target site, such as the kidney, thereby increasing the number of pluripotent cells capable of differentiating to regenerate the target tissue.
Abstract:
A fluid treatment apparatus capable of maximizing contact area between a fluid and electrodes in the apparatus to improve corrosion resistance or combustion efficiency includes a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port for the water at both ends of the housing, and a plurality of first electrodes installed in the housing for generating a potential difference through delivery of electrons at a contact surface between the fluid and the electrodes. The first electrodes are disc shaped and have a water passing hole formed in a center portion. The first electrodes being arranged in parallel in a direction perpendicular to a main flow direction of the fluid, so as to form a channel between the first electrodes to branch and guide a main flow.
Abstract:
Provided herein are anisotropic muscle implants that have a biodegradable scaffold comprising a plurality of fibers oriented along a longitudinal axis. The implants may include mammalian muscle cells seeded and/or fused into myotubes on the scaffold. Methods of forming the muscle implants are provided, as are methods of treating a subject in need of skeletal muscle reconstruction.
Abstract:
Provided is a structure of an air-tight reclosable processed food container in which a lid can be easily opened, can be reclosed for maintaining a remaining food, and can be checked by the user whether it has been opened or not prior to purchasing the food. The air-tight reclosable processed food container, an upper part of which is opened and includes a container body that forms a space with a bottom surface and an container wall and a lid coupled to the container body capable of being opened and closed. The container body includes a container flange formed to extend horizontally along an upper circumference of a container wall and a coupling groove is formed along an upper inner circumference of the container wall, a container leaf formed to extend downward from the container flange, and a container handle formed to extend horizontally from an arbitrary point of the container leaf. The processed food container can maintain a remaining food in a sealed state since it can be sealed air-tight by a coupling groove of the container body and the coupling unit of the lid. Also, a user can easily determine whether the lid has been opened or not prior to purchasing the food since the container handle and the lid handle are heat junctioned.
Abstract:
Provided is a wrist guard designed to press the radial and ulnar parts of a wrist toward the center of the wrist by means of a compression pad, so as to prevent side effects, such as hand numbness and swelling and effectively provide a fixing force of the wrist, thereby preventing the wrist from being excessively bent and alleviating wrist pain. The wrist guard allows a user to adjust the pressure load on the radial and ulnar parts of the wrist. It is possible to smoothly insert and assemble the pressing member into a coupling body, therefore improving operational feeling, the wrist guard may be stably used, and damage due to interference can be prevented. A stable pulling operation prevents wear and damage. As an excessive pressure load on the radial and ulnar regions is attenuated, the wrist guard is more convenient and comfortable.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a multi-channel video distribution method and apparatus, and a video management system using the same, including a client system to communicate with a standardized video providing apparatus or a non-standardized video providing apparatus, and to receive a video/sound signal from the standardized video providing apparatus or the non-standardized video providing apparatus; a transcode system to convert the video/sound signal, received by the client system, to a video/sound format that is requested in a client application; and a server system to communicate with the client application, and to transmit, to the client application, the video/sound signal that is converted by the transcode system.
Abstract:
A digital forensic apparatus for analyzing user activities includes: a collection unit for collecting analysis information related to user activities from a device as an investigation target for analyzing the user activities; and an analysis unit for analyzing the analysis information collected by the collection unit to determine activity information of a user from each type of the analysis information, and for causing the activity information to be arranged and displayed in temporal order.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a camera module, including: a lens barrel having a plurality of lenses embedded therein to collect images of external subjects; a housing receiving the lens barrel; a sealing member provided between the lens barrel and the housing to seal a space therebetween; and a bonding part performing bonding treatment on a space between the lens barrel and the sealing member.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a tissue stretching device including a tissue clamping member defining an area in a Z plane, wherein the tissue clamping member is configured to hold tissue parallel to the Z plane. Methods of use of the tissue stretching device to stretch a tissue as well as for culturing organized tissues are also provided. Stretched and/or cultured tissues produced by these processes are also provided, as well as methods of treatment making use of the same.
