Abstract:
This invention provides a solid-state electrolyte containing liquid crystal material and a solar cell using the same. According to this invention, since the solar cell includes the solid-state electrolyte containing the liquid crystal material, it does not require the use of a solvent and a sealing agent, as do conventional dye- sensitized solar cells using a liquid-state electrolyte, thus realizing a simple fabrication process. Further, the solar cell of this invention can exhibit much higher energy conversion efficiency than conventional dye-sensitized solar cells using a solid- state electrolyte.
Abstract:
Provided are a system and method for controlling avatar features in a virtual world, an image device, and a recording medium. The avatar feature controlling system generates a sensor control command to represent the intentions of a user through a sensor-based input device, and generates avatar control information using avatar information in the virtual world.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an object-manipulation device and method. The invention provides an object-manipulation device and method which model an object for manipulating a virtual object, provide an object action schema, define physical and mental conditions for an avatar, and set motion data for the avatar.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for context awareness by detecting intentions of a user in the ubiquitous environment using context information which is created by analyzing real world data collected from sensors are provided. The apparatus is configured of a sensor platform, a context-aware agent and a service provider. The sensor platform collects data of real world and transmits the collected data to the context-aware agent. The context-aware agent integrates the data of real world from the sensor platform, and stores and manages context information according to the integrated data. The service provider automatically controls objects to perform necessary operations to provide a predetermined intelligent services according to the context information received from the context-aware agent.

Abstract:
Provided is a terminal having buttons having a display function and a display met hod for the terminal. The terminal includes a plurality of buttons, which display a plural ity of letters in response to a control signal, and a controller generating the control signal for commanding the plurality of buttons to display letters indicated by letter data corres ponding to an operation result of the button from among prepared letter data.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an imaging device and a computer reading and recording medium. In one example of the present invention, the priority order of an animation clip corresponding to any desired portion of an avatar in a virtual world is compared with the priority order of motion data, and data corresponding to the desired portion of the avatar is determined, such that avatar actions can be generated which combine the animation clip with motion data obtained by sensing the actions of a user in the real world.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a production process of a gender-specific serum and a biomarker using the serum. More specifically, the present invention uses a fatty acid that exhibits a specific expression pattern in a gender-specific serum as a biomarker not only for diagnosis of obesity or a disease related to obesity, but also for diagnosis of meat quality since the fatty acid promotes differentiation of muscle derived stem cells into adipose cells. In addition, the present invention can establish a research system studying the effects of steroid hormones on the cell culture by using sera separated from blood that is collected from individual mammal carcasses being disposed, and provide important clues for discovering a gene associated with the synthesis of steroid hormone and for developing treatments for human diseases. Further, the present invention may contribute to increased profits derived from producing high quality sera, a reduced cost with treatment for carcass wastes, and promotion of the eco-industry for reducing environmental hormones.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel isolated lactobacillus fermentum strain having a viral infection inhibitory activity. Because the novel isolated strain of the present invention has excellent effects of preventing and treating one or more viral infections which are different, the strain can be widely utilized for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases of animals.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a virtual world processing device and method. According to one embodiment of the present invention, objects in the real world can be reflected in a virtual world by defining a data structure for virtual objects in the virtual world, and controlling virtual world objects of the virtual world. Further, virtual world objects can migrate between virtual worlds by using the defined data structure.
