20130325265 | AUTOMATIC WATER SENSOR WINDOW OPENING SYSTEM - A system can automatically open at least one window of a vehicle when the vehicle is being submerged in water. The system can include a water collector and a water sensor, and when the water sensor detects water in the water collector, at least one window of the vehicle opens. | 12-05-2013 |
20140107196 | ANTI-CANCER LEAD MOLECULE - Derivatives of plumbagin can be selectively cytotoxic to breast cancer cells. Derivative ‘A’ (Acetyl Plumbagin) has emerged as a lead molecule for testing against estrogen positive breast cancer and has shown low hepatotoxicity as well as overall lower toxicity in nude mice model. The toxicity of derivative ‘A’ was determined to be even lower than vehicle control (ALT and AST markers). The possible mechanism of action identified based on the microarray experiments and pathway mapping shows that derivative ‘A’ could be acting by altering the cholesterol-related mechanisms. The low toxicity profile of derivative ‘A’ highlights its possible role'as future anti-cancer drug and/or as an adjuvant drug to reduce the toxicity of highly toxic chemotherapeutic'drugs. | 04-17-2014 |

20130112597 | METHOD FOR SIMPLY SEPARATING CARBON NANOTUBE - Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for separating metallic CNT and semiconducting CNT, comprising treating with a physical separation means of centrifugation, freezing-thawing-squeezing, diffusion, permeation or the like using a gel containing CNT as a dispersed and isolated state (CNT-containing gel), to thereby make semiconducting CNT exist in gel and make metallic CNT exist in solution. | 05-09-2013 |
20130115433 | MICROMECHANICAL SYSTEM - High precision MEMESs can be manufactured in a large amount without requiring a vacuum process or a lithography process. A film is aligned with a die so as to contact with each other. The film has a functional layer and a releasing layer printed thereon. The die is configured to mold a structure which comprises a functional layer retention part retaining the functional layer and a frame supporting the functional layer retention part. The resin filled between the die and the film is cured. Then, the film is separated from the die so that the functional layer is released from the releasing layer and transferred on the resin cured in the die, thereby the structure is formed. | 05-09-2013 |
