SEONGNAM, South Korea, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cosmax has achieved its first goal in technological research using AI (artificial intelligence). The company aims to change the future paradigm of cosmetic development by measuring the texture of cosmetics using AI technology.

Key Points: 
  • The company aims to change the future paradigm of cosmetic development by measuring the texture of cosmetics using AI technology.
  • Cosmax announced that it has developed a "Standard Technology for Measuring Sensory Texture" that can predict the texture of cosmetics without applying them.
  • The Standard Technology for Measuring Sensory Texture developed by Cosmax indicates the sensation of using cosmetics into specific and quantitative values.
  • Subsequently, Cosmax collaborated with researchers at Sookmyung Women's University to complete the standard technology of measuring sensory texture using the Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS) technique.

Pusan National University Researchers Simulate Bubble Collapse Near Oscillating Walls

BUSAN, South Korea, Feb. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bubble dynamics plays a significant role in mechanics, chemistry, medicine, and biology. Understanding their interactions with the surrounding walls of the container is crucial for numerous applications, including cavitation erosion, underwater explosion, ultrasonic cleaning, shock wave lithotripsy (for treating kidney stones) and needle-free jet injection. As a result, researchers have explored bubble behavior both experimentally and theoretically (through numerical simulations. However, such studies have largely considered the container walls to be rigid and their findings are inadequate for instances involving oscillating walls – a significantly more complex behavior – such as erosion, cavitation, and microjet flow control.

Key Points: 
  • Addressing this issue, a team of researchers from Vietnam and Korea led by Prof. Warn-Gyu Park from Pusan National University (PNU) in Korea, numerically investigated the collapse of a spherical bubble characterized by a Rayleigh collapse time, TR near a rigid wall oscillating with a large amplitude (greater than one percent of the bubble radius).
  • "The bubble collapse was simulated using a compressible two-phase, namely water and vapor, flow model and the volume of fluid interphase-sharpening technique.
  • "We then verified the predictions of our model against experimental data on bubbles and their dynamics near fixed walls.
  • In their two-phase model, the researchers simulated the walls as initially moving either towards (in-phase) or away from (out-of-phase) the bubble.

The Air-Clenz invention was recently granted U.S. Patent 11,324,850 and covers multi-seated venues and vehicles of all types, including aircraft.

Key Points: 
  • The Air-Clenz invention was recently granted U.S. Patent 11,324,850 and covers multi-seated venues and vehicles of all types, including aircraft.
  • These results were contrasted in simulations utilizing the same parameters, but this time relying on solely the existing aircraft ventilation system.
  • The research showed that cross-infection can occur within the first 20-50 seconds of exhaling an infectious breath, cough, or sneeze on an aircraft.
  • Aircraft cabin air using state-of-the-art ventilation is changed only every 150 seconds on average.
