Abstract:
A multi-view video encoding/decoding apparatus and method are provided. The multi-view video encoding/decoding apparatus encodes the current block which is to be encoded and which belongs to a frame of a first view point, wherein the encoding is performed in accordance with a first skip mode using the frame of the first view point or a second skip mode using the frame of a second view point, thereby improving encoding efficiency.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for an adaptive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming service using metadata of content are provided. The metadata may include a minBufferTime attribute indicating a minimum amount of initially buffered media content. A terminal may receive content from a server before playback of the content, and may buffer the content by at least the minimum amount. The metadata may include a range attribute that designates a range of a target indicated by a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The terminal may receive bytes designated by the range attribute from the URL, and may play back the content using the received bytes.
Abstract:
The present invention provides haptic steering wheel switch apparatus including: a haptic wheel housing unit disposed on a steering wheel of a vehicle; a circuit board unit disposed in the haptic wheel housing unit; and a haptic wheel device unit including a haptic wheel device actuator establishing an electrical connection with the circuit board unit and including a haptic shaft, a haptic knob connected to the haptic shaft and exposedly disposed on one surface of the haptic wheel housing unit, and a haptic wheel device sensing unit for detecting a rotating state of the haptic shaft, wherein the haptic knob achieves a rotary operation on a plane formed by the steering wheel of the vehicle, the haptic wheel device actuator moves in a longitudinal direction of the haptic shaft, and a button switch unit operating vertically and independently of the haptic knob is provided outside the haptic knob.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for an adaptive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming service using metadata of media content are provided. The media content may include a sequence of one or more periods. The metadata may include a start time attribute and/or a duration attribute of each of the periods. The metadata may determine a start time of each of the periods, and a start time of each of segments included in each of the periods. A terminal may access segments included in each of the periods, may decode and render data of media content included in the segments, and may play back the media content.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a. skin external composition containing ginseng berry extract. More specifically, disclosed is a skin external composition, which contains, as an active ingredient, ginseng berry extract having the specific components and compositions, among the above-ground parts of ginseng, and thus promotes the production of collagen in the skin, shows an MMP-I inhibitory effect and, at the same time, has skin-aging inhibitory and wrinkle-reducing effects, resulting from antioxidant effects and DNA damage-protecting effects. Also disclosed is a skin external composition, which contains, as an active ingredient, ginseng berry extract, which has a skin whitening effect resulting from the effects of inhibiting melanin production and reducing pigmentation caused by UV radiation, the effects of relieving dry skin symptoms and atopic symptoms by inducing and maintaining the normal differentiation of skin keratinocytes, the effect of relieving acne and skin troubles by the regulation of sebum secretion and an anti-inflammatory effect, and makes complexion ruddy through the improvement of peripheral blood circulation to make the skin clean and clear. Also disclosed is a food composition for reducing and preventing obesity, which contains, as an active ingredient, ginseng berry extract, which increases the expression of a carnitine palmitoyl transterase-1 (CPT-I) gene, serves to transport fatty acids into mitochondria in fatty acid oxidation and promotes fat oxidation.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for an adaptive Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) streaming service using metadata of content are provided. The metadata may include one or more BaseURL elements. Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) of segments forming media may be generated based on the BaseURL elements. Additionally, a URL of a segment may be generated by mapping a BaseURL element among the BaseURL elements to a sourceURL attribute of the segment. Segments indicated by generated URLs may be identical to each other.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a theanine derivative, a preparation method thereof, and a use thereof for anti-acne treatment, having a selective inhibitory effect on Propionibacterium acnes in the skin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a kit for screening for skin-activating substances, and to a method for screening for skin-activating substances using same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a kit for screening for skin-activating substances and to a method for screening for skin-activating substances using same, in which candidates for inducing the expression of the klotho gene are separated from skin cells by the screening kit comprising the klotho gene, also known as the anti-aging gene, and the separated candidates are refined, thus screening for skin-activating substances such as moisturizing, anti-aging, or whitening substances.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for fermenting natural products with salt and fermented extracts prepared thereby. The method comprises: adding a predetermined amount of salt to at least one of natural products, including medicinal herbs and cereals; naturally fermenting the salted material; and extracting the fermented salted material with a solvent. Accordingly, the method can prevent the growth of various bacteria, including putrefactive bacteria, E. coli and anaerobic bacteria, which are harmful to the human body, in the natural product, and it also can prevent the generation of bed smells in the natural product. The fermented extract prepared by the method has fewer side effects and is safer than fermented extracts prepared by conventional fermentation methods.
