Abstract:
The present invention relates to a user interface system and to a method for operating same, wherein the user interface system displays a menu that lists prices, quantities, types or the like of products or goods in a multidimensional menu shaped as a polyhedron having two or more axes, to thereby enable a user to select products or goods at a glance from the multidimensional menu. The user interface system which provides a multidimensional dynamic menu according to the present invention: sets selection criteria on the quantities, types, or the like onto each axis of the multidimensional menu having two or more axes; displays, on a screen, the multidimensional dynamic menu in which relevant menus are arranged at every intersection between the selection criterion set onto one axis and the selection criterion set onto another axis; and moves the multidimensional dynamic menu being displayed on the screen in accordance with a user input, or selectively inputs products or goods listed on the multidimensional dynamic menu. According to the present invention, users may check and select desired products or goods at a glance from the polyhedral multidimensional menu. In addition, the system and method of the present invention can be applied to any type of display apparatus which provides a menu that lists products, goods, services, or the like via a screen.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a linear compressor, and more particularly to, a linear compressor which employs a conductor member (260) jn a linear motor (200) instead of a magnet to produce a driving force by magnetic induction and automatically or naturally modulate a cooling capacity according to a load. The linear compressor of the present invention includes a fixed member (120) provided with a compression space, a movable member (130) which linearly reciprocates inside the fixed member (120) to compress refrigerant, one or more springs installed to elastically support the movable member (130) in a motion direction, a first stator (120) applied with a current to produce a magnetic field, a second stator (290) spaced apart from the first stator (120) at a certain interval, a conductor member (260) electromagnetically induced by the magnetic field produced by the first stator (280) and the second stator (290) to make the movable (130) linearly reciprocate, and a control unit which controls supply of the current with respect to the first stator.
Abstract:

The apparatus for controlling the linear compressor includes a counter electromotive force phase detecting unit for detecting a phase of a counter electromotive force from a voltage command value of the linear compressor and an input current, a current phase detecting unit for detecting a phase of the input current, a frequency generating unit for comparing the phase of the counter electromotive force with the phase of the input current, and generating a frequency change value, a control unit for correcting the voltage command value according to the frequency change value, and an inverter unit for receiving a direct current voltage, generating a sine wave voltage according to the corrected voltage command value, and applying the sine wave voltage to the linear compressor.
Abstract:
Thymosin beta proteins and peptide derivatives thereof are provided to prevent death of neuronal cells by promoting restoration of wound and angiogenesis, so that they are useful for treatment of cerebral diseases. Thymosin beta proteins for prevention of neuronal cell death include thymosin beta 4(GenBank ID: AY293831), thymosin beta 10(GenBank ID: m58405) and thymosin beta 15(GenBank ID: U25684). Peptides derived from the thymosin beta proteins for prevention of neuronal cell death have the nucleotide sequences of LKKTETQ and LKKTNTE. The neuronal cell death is prevented by expressing the thymosin beta genes in neuronal cells.
