    摘要: Disclosed is an analog-to-digital converter including a comparison circuit and a counter circuit. The comparison circuit outputs a comparison result signal based on a pixel signal and a ramp signal and outputs a zero-crossing prediction signal, is the comparison circuit being configured to transition the zero-crossing prediction signal before a zero-crossing time point at which a voltage level of the pixel signal becomes identical to a voltage level of the ramp signal and during a time interval during which the voltage level of the ramp signal is reduced. The counter circuit outputs a low-order bit digital code based on the zero-crossing prediction signal and stops the output of the low-order bit digital code based on the comparison result signal.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a non-viral minicircle vector expressing a SOX gene, a stem cell into which the vector is introduced, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a cartilage disease, including the stem cell, and a method for constructing the vector. The transformation of mesenchymal stem cells with MC/SOX-Trio or MC/SOX-Duo, which is a non-viral minicircle vector according to the present invention, can completely exclude the necessity of expensive growth factors that have been indispensably used in inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into chondrocytes. Accordingly, the mesenchymal stem cells transformed therewith, when implanted in vivo, can differentiate into chondrocytes by themselves, and thus have an advantage capable of simplifying the existing complicated steps of culturing cells to induce differentiation and then transplanting the cells.
    Further, unlike existing vector systems in which antibiotic-resistant genes and other bacteria-derived exogenous genes are simultaneously transferred to cells even after transformation, the vector of the present invention minimizes transfer of unnecessary genes into target cells by allowing two or three SOX genes necessary only for differentiation into chondrocytes to be regulated under one promoter, and thus can be utilized as a non-viral vector system in the most advantageous form for use in clinical application of stem cell-gene therapeutic agents.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for transmitting a training sequence code of a transmitting apparatus with a plurality of transmitting antennas in a communication system are provided. A transmitting apparatus allocates a plurality of time slots for the plurality of transmitting antennas to be divided into at least one frame, and sends a training sequence code with reference power for any one of the transmitting antennas, and sends remaining training sequence codes for remainders of the transmitting antennas with transmission power from zero to the reference power, in any one of the time slots. A receiving apparatus receives a plurality of training sequence codes for a plurality of transmitting antennas through any one of the plurality of receiving antennas from a transmitting apparatus, and selects one of the training sequence codes having the greatest reception power to estimate a channel. This may improve a channel estimation performance in a communication system.
