Abstract:
An apparatus for estimating body temperature, may include: a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor configured to measure a PPG signal by emitting light onto an object and by detecting light scattered or reflected from the object; and a processor configured to estimate a cutaneous blood flow and an energy metabolism of the object based on the PPG signal, estimate a core body temperature of the object based on the cutaneous blood flow and the energy metabolism, and provide notification information on a risk of abnormal body temperature based on the core body temperature.
Abstract:
An evaluating device of a flexural property includes a holder, a body disposed on the holder and capable of being moved along with a length of direction of the holder, a clamp coupled to the body to be rotated on the body and fixing a first side of the specimen to be evaluated, and a pressing part disposed over the clamp and pressing a second side of the specimen opposite to the first side and disposed upper than the first side of the specimen to bend the specimen, and an evaluation method of a flexural property of the bent specimen using the same.
Abstract:
A forward osmosis water treatment device includes a plurality of forward osmosis separation membrane in which each forward osmosis separation membrane includes an active layer and a support layer, first spacers disposed between two active layers facing each other, and second spacers disposed between two support layers facing each other, wherein a plurality of the first spacers and the second spacers are included so as to form a stack structure together with the forward osmosis membranes, the plurality of the first spacers form a first flow path forming a flow of water to be treated, and the plurality of the second spacers form a second flow path forming a flow of a draw solution.
Abstract:
A composition for an optical film, including a homeotropic liquid crystal, a silane or germane compound including at least one fluorine at a terminal end thereof, and a polymerizable compound.
Abstract:
A metal suboxide having a specific surface area of greater than or equal to about 1.5 m2/g is prepared by preparing a metal suboxide precursor, and heat-treating the metal suboxide precursor.
Abstract:
An ion exchanger according to a non-limiting embodiment may include an open cell polymer support and a microporous polymer matrix charged within the open cell polymer support. The microporous polymer matrix includes an ion conductive polymer. The ion conductive polymer may be obtained by polymerizing monomers having at least one ion exchange functional group and at least one cross-linkable functional group with a cross-linking agent having at least two cross-linkable functional groups.
