    Abstract: A refrigerator and a control method for the same are disclosed. A refrigerator includes a storage compartment, a drawer movably provided in the storage compartment and provided with a marker, a camera that photographs inside the drawer from outside the drawer, and a controller that senses a position of the marker in photographs taken through the camera at time intervals, and that determines state information about the drawer based on a change in position of the marker in the photographs. A method includes recognizing closing of the drawer by sensing a start of opening of the drawer; acquiring an image of the drawer interior using the camera; processing the image to recognize the marker from the image; tracing a movement of the marker; acquiring a final image of the drawer interior using the camera when closing of the drawer begins; and displaying the final image.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electric motor, and a compressor having the same. The electric motor includes a stator, and a rotor. The rotor includes a rotation shaft, a rotor core, and a plurality of permanent magnets. The rotor core includes permanent magnet insertion portions each formed therethrough in an axial direction so that the permanent magnet is inserted, and slots each formed through the rotor core in a manner that a core area of a front portion of a d-axis is smaller than a core area of a rear portion of the d-axis in a rotating direction of the rotor when an outer core part of the permanent magnet insertion portion is divided with respect to the d-axis. Accordingly, a decrease in inertia can be suppressed and an occurrence of vibration and noise due to Magnetic Pull Force (MPF) can be prevented.
