    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for inputting a combined photoacoustic/ultrasonic image, which generates 3D image information for a object by performing 2D scanning on the object by a first linear motion of a photoacoustic probe and an ultrasonic probe, and a second linear motion perpendicular to the first linear motion, the apparatus comprising: a transfer unit that move the photoacoustic probe and the ultrasonic probe with respect to the object in the first and/or second direction; a photoacoustic unit that outputs a laser to the object, receives a first ultrasound from the object by the laser, and generates a photoacoustic image signal; an ultrasonic unit that outputs an ultrasound to the object, receives a second ultrasound from the object by the ultrasound, and generates an ultrasonic image signal; and a main controller that combines photoacoustic image and ultrasonic image to generate a combined photoacoustic/ultrasonic image.

    Abstract: An earphone with an ANC automatic blocking function includes: a danger occurrence notification sound information registration unit registering and storing unique sound information of a danger occurrence notification sound certified by a public institution; an external sound recognition unit recognizing an external sound during operation of an ANC function; a sound information comparison analysis unit comparing sound information recognized by the external sound recognition unit with sound information registered in the danger occurrence notification sound information registration unit and analyzing and determining whether matching sound information exists; and an ANC function maintaining and blocking controller blocking the ANC function immediately when it is determined from an analysis result of the sound information comparison analysis unit that there exists sound information matching the sound information recognized by the external sound recognition unit.
