A MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating which is coated on a surface of base materials which are molybden, molybden alloy, molybden-coated niobium or molybden-coated niobium alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. The MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating on the surface of the base material can be formed by forming a Mo2N diffusion layer by vapor-depositing of nitrogen on the surface of the base material and forming a MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating by vapor-depositing of silicon on the surface of the Mo2N diffusion layer, or the MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating on the surface of the base material can be formed by forming a MoSi2 diffusion layer by vapor-depositing of silicon on a surface of a base material by the CVD method, transforming the MoSi2 diffusion layer into a Mo5Si3 diffusion layer by heating under a high-purity hydrogen or argon atmosphere, forming a Mo2N—Si3N4 composite diffusion layer by vapor-depositing of nitrogen on the surface of the Mo5Si3 diffusion layer by the CVD method and forming a MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating by vapor-depositing of silicon on the surface of the Mo2N—Si3N4 composite diffusion layer. The MoSi2—Si3N4 composite coating manufactured by the above method is characterized as a structure in which Si3N4 particles are distributed in a MoSi2 grain boundary of equiaxed grains, thus to improve cyclic oxidation resistance of the base material, improve low-temperature oxidation resistance, and improve mechanical properties of the coating. Therefore, transmission of fine cracks by the thermal stress can be restrained.

To improve the accuracy of the voice recognition system for an AV system, the present invention includes a reflected sound remover having a plurality of filters, the reflected sound remover being configured to receive an input sound signal including a reflected AV system audio, a user's voice, and a noise, and being configured to remove the reflected audio from the input sound according to user's voice information; a voice detector detecting the user's voice from a signal outputted from the reflected sound remover and obtaining the user's voice information based on the detected user's voice; and a voice recognition unit comparing the detected user's voice with voice patterns that belong to at least one model
摘要:
A refrigerator includes a valve assembly located at a refrigerant path from a condenser to at least one expansion valve for controlling flow of a refrigerant from the condenser to the at least one expansion valve. The valve assembly includes a valve chamber, wherein the refrigerant drawn from the condenser is held in the valve chamber; at least one outlet hole through which the refrigerant held in the valve chamber is discharged to a corresponding outlet path connected to the at least one expansion valve; and a valve body for selectively opening and closing the at least one outlet hole as the valve body rotates, such that the refrigerant held in the valve chamber is selectively discharged to the corresponding outlet path.
摘要:
A recording medium and apparatus and method for managing defective areas are discussed. According to an embodiment a controller determining whether or not to replace a defective block with a replacement block when a writing or reading data to or from the optical recording medium, based upon a data type to be written or read, and creating a defect list, the defect list including information to indicate whether or not the defective block is replaced with a replacement block; and a writing reading unit, coupled to the controller, to write or read the data to or from the optical recording medium and storing the defect list to a defect management area of the optical recording medium, according to a control of the controller.
摘要:
A multi-channel data verifying apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a receiver receiving N data channels and a deskew channel generated by sequentially extracting a predetermined data bit from the each of N data channels, and a deskew channel error detector detecting whether the deskew channel received by the receiver corresponds to an expected deskew channel generated and stored based on the test signal or generated based on the previously received deskew channel. Accordingly, data channels, a deskew channel and the entire data capacity can be verified and thus the cause of a problem in the transmission and reception of multi-channel data can be identified in advance.
