Abstract:
A low temperature storage apparatus may include a main body, a door opening and closing a storage chamber formed in the main body, a tray including storage slots receiving items to be stored, a light emitting device, a light sensing device including light receiving sensors sensing light incident on the storage slots from the light emitting device, and a controller controlling the light emitting device, receiving sensing signals, and providing status information related to the items received in the storage slots. The controller may switch the light emitting device on when the door is opened, and may sense whether or not a sensing signal is changed when the door is closed. The controller may count time from a point of change of the sensing signal if the sensing signal is changed from a signal indicating absence of a storage item to presence of a storage item, and may switch the light emitting device off when a predetermined time from closing of the door has elapsed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a camera module capable of overcoming a design limitation on a structure for auto-focusing and handshake compensation attributable to the thickness of the camera module provided in a small-sized camera device. The camera module includes a refractive unit including at least one lens, which has an optical axis oriented in a first direction, a lens case for supporting the refractive unit mounted thereto, a focusing-driving magnet secured to the lens case, a focusing-driving coil configured to accommodate at least a portion of the focusing-driving magnet inserted thereinto and to receive first current and generate driving force for allowing the focusing-driving magnet to perform first relative displacement in the first direction, a compensatory case configured to support the focusing-driving coil fixedly mounted thereto, and a focusing-sensing coil fixedly provided in the compensatory case and wherein second current is electromagnetically induced at the focusing-sensing coil by the first relative displacement.
Abstract:
A camera and a terminal including the same are disclosed. The camera according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first prism apparatus to reflect a first input light input in a first direction to a second direction; a second prism apparatus to reflect a second input light input in the first direction to the second direction, and output the reflected second input light to the first prism apparatus; a lens apparatus to receive the first input light from the first prism apparatus or the second input light from the second prism apparatus; and an image sensor to generate an image signal based on the first input light or the second input. Accordingly, it is possible to implement a slim camera that can use a single image sensor with respect to a plurality of cameras at the time of front photographing or rear photographing.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a night image output apparatus, comprising: a photographing unit comprising an optical pulse output unit for outputting optical pulses and an image sensor for forming a plurality of images using optical pulses reflected by an external object; a display unit for outputting a final image made by synthesizing the plurality of images; and a control unit for calculating object distance information displayed in each pixel of the final image, by using data of a light quantity ratio of the plurality of images to each pixel of the final image and a light quantity ratio related to distance.
Abstract:
A displacement sensor comprises a first frame; a second frame; a first coil wherein a first voltage formed at the first frame is applied; a second coil formed at the first frame, wherein a current of a second voltage flows if the first voltage is applied to the first coil; a conductor coupled to the second frame; and a detector for calculating a relative position between the first frame and the second frame by monitoring the second voltage. Since two coils are embodied in one frame, the number of process times can be reduced and space utility can be enhanced.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a storage compartment formed in a cabinet of the refrigerator by a fixed insulation wall, the storage compartment being provided with an access opening. The refrigerator also includes a door rotatably provided to the cabinet to open and close the access opening, a drawer provided in the storage compartment, a camera fixed to a ceiling of the storage compartment to photograph both a first region for storing of food arranged in an external space of the drawer and a second region for storing of food arranged in an internal space of the drawer, and a controller configured to separate, through a capturing time of a picture containing both the first region and the second region, a first region picture and a second region picture from the picture to individually divide and store the first region picture and the second region picture.

Abstract:
A refrigerator may include a detection device that detects at least one of a position or movement of a door of the refrigerator, a camera to capture an image of an area inside the refrigerator, and a controller to control the camera to capture the image based on the detected position or movement of the door. A start of a door opening operation and a door closing operation may be detected based on the detected position or movement of the door. When the door opening operation is detected, the camera is controlled to operate in a standby mode, and when the door closing operation is detected, an angle of the door is compared with a reference angle. When the angle of the door is less than the reference angle, the camera is controlled to operate in a photographing mode to capture the image of the area inside refrigerator.
