Abstract:
An aptamer for specifically detecting patulin and a method for detecting patulin using the same. The aptamer for specifically detecting patulin is a single-stranded DNA aptamer serving as a bioreceptor capable of effectively detecting patulin. Since such an aptamer for specifically detecting patulin is capable of specifically binding to patulin which is a mycotoxin having a simple chemical structure and a low molecular weight, it can be effectively employed as a bioreceptor in various bioassays for specifically detecting patulin. The aptamer for specifically detecting patulin can achieve more effective detection of patulin in apples or apple juice.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of enhancing speech. The method includes calculating a far-end speech spectrum by performing fast Fourier transformation of a signal received by a far-end user, calculating a background noise spectrum collected by a microphone provided to a mobile device of a near-end user; calculating a gain from the far-end speech spectrum and the background noise spectrum using a speech intelligibility index-based module, and deriving an enhanced far-end speech spectrum by applying the gain to the far-end speech spectrum, wherein, in calculating a gain using a speech intelligibility index-based module, a power budget used for transmitting and receiving a speech signal is set to vary with the background noise spectrum.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an optical fiber laser device including a seed unit for providing at least two seed lights having different wavelengths; and an amplifying unit for amplifying the at least two seed lights. The amplifying unit includes: a preamplifying unit for amplifying the at least two seed lights by using excitation light of which the wavelength is shorter than the wavelengths of the seed lights; and a final amplifying unit to which no separate excitation light source is provided. The final amplifying unit amplifies the seed light having the longest wavelength by using the other seed light as excitation light with respect to the seed light having the longest wavelength among the at least two seed light.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for detecting the location of a moving body. The apparatus may include a speaker configured to intermittently generate a pulse signal to a detection space and a microphone array configured to obtain a reflected sound of the pulse signal that is generated in the detection space. The location of a moving body is estimated by extracting a change of a sound field from the reflected sound. The present invention can be applied to an apparatus for detecting a moving body without any side effect because the location of a moving body can be accurately detected up to an angle and distance. Furthermore, the present invention can be applied to various application apparatuses, such as a lighting apparatus, an air conditioning apparatus, a security apparatus, and a parking lot management apparatus because there is no problem in health and there is no side effect in application.
