Abstract:
Disclosed is the washing/drying machine including a fragrance supplying means for supplying fragrance, and a heat supplying means for supplying heat to promote evaporation of a fragrance source stored in the fragrance supplying means. The washing/drying machine uses heat supplied by the heat supplying means so as to promote evaporation of a fragrance source in the fragrance supplying means, thereby increasing efficiency in fragrance supply.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a washing machine, which prevents solidification of liquid detergent by rapidly recovering the liquid detergent left in a liquid detergent supply passage and a liquid detergent supply pump by forming a negative pressure differential by use of the liquid detergent supply pump for a set period of time after the supply of liquid detergent is finished.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus of determining the number of synthetic beams, comprising: a motion measurement unit which measures the degree of motion in an output beam-forming image; a synthetic beam number determination unit which determines the optimum number of synthetic beams based on the measured degree of motion in case of applying the synthetic aperture beam forming; and a display unit which displays the number of synthetic beams determined by the synthetic beam number determination unit. A system using synthetic aperture beam forming detects motion in an image and displays a degree of the motion in various manners, and thus, a user is allowed to actively cope with the motion by adjusting the number of synthetic beams, or the system is allowed to immediately change the number of synthetic beams with reference to data stored in advance.
Abstract:
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to improve picture quality of images by automatically adjusting image parameters, and a control method thereof are provided. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an image signal processor to perform envelope detection processing on ultrasound image data, and an image parameter processor to calculate a Time Gain Compensation (TGC) parameter from the envelope detection processed ultrasound image data, adjust the envelope detection processed ultrasound image data based on the TGC parameter, and calculate a Dynamic Range (DR) parameter from the envelope detection processed ultrasound image data adjusted based on the TGC parameter to apply the DR parameter to the envelope detection processed ultrasound image data.
Abstract:
A high frequency ultrasonic transducer may include a plurality of adjacent ultrasonic transducer elements. The adjacent transducer elements may be sized and configured so as to resonate at a frequency that is at least 15 MHz. The adjacent transducer elements may collectively form an aperture that is substantially convex along a lateral dimension spanning the cascaded width of the adjacent transducer elements. The aperture may be substantially concave along an elevation spanning the height of each of the transducer elements. The ultrasonic transducer and an associated transmitter system may be configured so as to enable ultrasound that is radiated from the plurality of the transducer elements to be focused on and to scan across locations that are no more than 30 millimeters from the aperture and that span across a field of view of at least 50 degrees without movement of the ultrasonic transducer or tissue during the scanning.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hollow fiber membrane module which maximizes the efficiency of removing scale-like contaminants generated at the water treatment using hollow fiber membranes, and a method of manufacturing the same. The hollow fiber membrane module includes hollow fiber membranes for making water treatment due to the pressure difference, and a collector fixing the hollow fiber membranes in bundle. A treated-water tube is extended to the inside of the collector, and communicated with the inner passage of the hollow fiber membranes to deliver the water treated through the hollow fiber membranes. A diffuser is installed at the collector to diffuse bubbles to the hollow fiber membranes. An air tube is extended to the collector, and connected to the diffuser to feed air. Dividers are installed over the collector to partition the hollow fiber membranes into a plurality of bundles.
Abstract:
A washing machine and a method of controlling the washing machine are provided. In the washing machine and the method of controlling the washing machine, a liquid detergent is automatically supplied into a washing tub, thereby improving user convenience. In addition, in the washing machine and the method of controlling the washing machine, a liquid detergent is supplied into the washing tub by water supplied by a water supply unit. Thus, no liquid detergent remains in a liquid detergent supply path, and the liquid detergent supply path can be prevented from being blocked due to the solidification of a liquid detergent.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of dynamically reallocating a thread stack in a multi-threaded operating system, and more particularly, a method of dynamically allocating a thread stack of a multi-threaded operating system in an embedded system for wireless sensor nodes. The method includes the steps of: measuring sizes of data and non-data sections of a stack with respect to each thread; determining a new size of the non-data section of each stack based on the size of the data section of the stack measured with respect to each thread; and adjusting the size of the non-data section of each stack to the determined new size. According to the method, even without the source code analysis, an amount of memory spaces to be used can be reduced compared to that of a conventional static stack allocation method.
Abstract:
A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a support frame, which supports the main housing of the washing machine, and a liquid detergent container, which is disposed in the support frame and contains a liquid detergent therein. Therefore, the washing machine can improve the efficiency of the use of a liquid detergent.
