Abstract:
A home appliance and a signal output method thereof are disclosed. The home appliance outputs product information in the form of a sound signal, which is transmitted to a service center at a remote site over a communication network so that the service center can readily check the state of the home appliance. A digital signal including product information of the home appliance is converted into a sound signal based on a plurality of frequency signals. Therefore, a larger amount of data can be rapidly transmitted for a fault diagnosis, so as to improve fault diagnosis accuracy.
Abstract:
Electrode assemblies easily impregnated with an electrolyte are provided. A sealing tape attached to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly comprises a material having an affinity for the electrolyte. Alternatively, the entire sealing tape or a portion of the tape is coated with the material. In another alternative, the surface of the sealing tape is rough, thereby improving wetting of the tape by the electrolyte and diffusion of the electrolyte into the tape. In another embodiment, first and second insulating plates comprise a material having an affinity for the electrolyte. In another alternative, the insulating plates comprise a mixture of a material having an affinity for the electrolyte and polypropylene or polyethylene. Alternatively, the surfaces of the insulating plates are coated with the material or with a surfactant that reduces the surface tension of the electrolyte.
Abstract:
A method for producing a catalyst, comprising the step of supporting a metal atom on a support in which a thiol group is introduced on its surface. The catalyst is useful for a catalytic electrode of fuel cells, a composite electrode of capacitors or secondary batteries, a catalyst for an organic synthesis, a catalyst for an environmental cleanup, or the like.
Abstract:
In a cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery, the width of an electrode tab positioned at a center of an electrode assembly is extended so that it serves as a center pin and functions to release heat. Thus, it is not necessary to separately insert a center pin, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and steps. The cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly, a case for receiving the electrode assembly, and a cap assembly for sealing the top opening of the case. The electrode assembly comprises a positive electrode plate and negative electrode plate. The positive electrode plate has a positive electrode tab, a positive active material region, a positive uncoated region, and a positive current collector exposed through the positive uncoated region. The negative electrode plate has a negative electrode tab, a negative active material region, a negative uncoated region, a negative current collector exposed through the negative uncoated region, and a separator interposed between the positive and negative electrode plates. At least one of the positive and negative electrode tabs has an extended width at the center of the electrode assembly.
Abstract:
A logic embedded nonvolatile memory device is provided which includes a first erase gate line for erasing a plurality of first memory cells; a second erase gate line electrically separated from the first erase gate line and for erasing a plurality of second memory cells; a global erase gate line supplied with an erase voltage; and an erase gate selection switch formed between the first memory cells and the second memory cells, wherein the erase gate selection switch connects the global erase gate line to the first erase gate line or the second erase gate line according to an erase control signal.

Abstract:
A multi-lane control apparatus and method using a control signal of a physical layer are provided. The multi-lane control apparatus includes a detector to detect a fault in a first transmission lane of a reciprocal module and to generate a loss signal of a first reception lane that is physically connected to the first transmission lane, and a controller to turn off a second transmission lane corresponding to the first reception lane in response to the loss signal.
Abstract:
Provided are a washing machine and a washing method. The washing machine includes a cabinet, an outer tub disposed in the cabinet and provided with an opened top through which wash water is supplied into the outer tub, an inner tub that is disposed in the outer tub to receive laundry and rotates about a vertical axis, a base that supports the cabinet and stores the wash water that is splattered from the outer tub by rotation of the inner tub, and an electrode sensor that is disposed on the base to detect the wash water splattered out of the outer tub.
Abstract:
A cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery includes a center pin fabricated with an inexpensive material and having a coating layer formed on the outer surface of the center pin. The cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having the center pin inserted through the center of the electrode. A case is provided for housing the electrode assembly and an electrolyte. A cap assembly seals the case. The center pin includes a body formed from a metallic material and a coating layer is formed on the outer surface of the body.
