Abstract:
A respiratory rate measuring method and apparatus including a wearable device that utilizes a heartbeat signal to detect the respiratory rate without motion detection of a patient's body. The method includes extracting a heartbeat signal, extracting an amplitude modulation (AM) signal and a frequency modulation (FM) signal through AM and FM with respect to the extracted heartbeat signal, respectively, performing normalization on the AM signal and the FM signal. The normalized AM signal and the normalized FM signal are combined into a single combined normalized signal, and a respiratory rate is calculated by extracting a respiratory frequency band from the combined normalized signal.

Abstract:
A CO2 reforming catalyst may include at least one catalyst metal supported in a porous carrier. The at least one catalyst metal may include a transition metal (e.g., Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ag, Cu, Zn, and/or Pd). Each particle of the at least one catalyst metal may be bound with the porous carrier in a form of an alloy. The porous carrier may form a rod-shaped protruding portion around the catalyst metal particle.
Abstract:
A catalyst for reforming hydrocarbons may include a catalytically active amount of nickel or nickel oxide dispersed on a metal oxide support. The metal oxide support may be of a single-metal oxide of a first metal or a complex-metal oxide of the first metal and a second metal. A co-catalyst of magnesium oxide (MgO) may anchor the nickel or nickel oxide onto the metal oxide support.
Abstract:
A method of grinding a substrate is provided. A substrate including a first main surface having a semiconductor layer formed thereon and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface is prepared. A support film is attached to the first main surface using a glue. The second main surface of the substrate is ground so as to reduce a thickness of the substrate. The support film is removed from the first main surface by applying force to the support film in a non-traverse direction.
Abstract:
A reflective diffusion lens may include a bottom surface concave toward a reflective surface, a longitudinal cross section of the bottom surface being formed in a parabolic shape or normal distribution shape such that light incident upon the bottom surface is incident upon the reflective surface, and the reflective surface concave toward the bottom surface. The reflective surface may include a concave surface having a longitudinal cross section formed in a parabolic shape or normal distribution shape to totally reflect the light transmitted from the bottom surface and incident upon the reflective surface. A lighting installation may include at least one light source to emit light, a reflective diffusion lens to collect light emitted from the light source, and a reflective plate positioned at a lower portion of the light source and adapted to adjust a direction or amount of light reaching the reflective plate.
