Abstract:
A tub assembly in a drum-type washing machine includes a tub body having a cylindrical shape forming front and rear edge portions; a ring-type tub cover coupled with the front edge portion of the tub body; a tub back, coupled with the rear edge portion of the tub body, comprised of an outer circumference wall extending horizontally to a predetermined distance with respect to an outer circumference of a circular panel forming a recessed space, the outer circumference wall in tight contact with the rear edge portion of the tub body; and a motor assembly loaded at the recessed space. The tub assembly enables a reduction in tub size and weight, by devising a construction that obviates the need for a bracket for fixing a bearing housing to a tub back and this minimizing a rearward protrusion of the bearing housing and tub back.
Abstract:
A method of processing EPG (Electronic Program Guide) metadata in a network device includes performing a service discovery procedure utilizing multiple service discovery metadata components supplied by a service provider, receiving EPG metadata corresponding to a super group information element comprising both of a member element giving a group ID of another super group information element that has a higher level than a level of the super group information element and a level attribute giving a level of super group represented by the super group information element, wherein the member element is used to reference the other super group information element at a higher level, and processing the EPG metadata.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a regenerative thermal oxidizer which burns and eliminates harmful process gases generated in industrial sites. The present invention provides the regenerative thermal oxidizer in which different parts of the rotor are used as inlet and outlet process gas flow paths to increase the ability to process the process gases. According to the present invention, the ability to process the process gases is enhanced in spite of the rotor being similar in size to typical rotors and, as well as, the structure of the rotor and adjacent components is simplified.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for converting an interface between high speed data having various capacities. The apparatus includes a data transmitting part and a data receiving part. The data transmitting part generates a deskew channel having respective timing data of a plurality of data transmitted from a first communicating device, and outputs the generated deskew channel together with the plurality of data to a second communicating device. The data receiving part compares the deskew channel transmitted from the second communicating device with the plurality of data to measure skew values of the data, aligns bits and bytes of the plurality of data using the skew values, and transmits the plurality of data to the first communicating device.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for performing optical Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) modulation, which transmits a phase difference between adjacent bits as information. The electrically band-limited optical DPSK modulating apparatus includes a light source, a Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) signal generator, a pre-coder, an electrical low pass filter, and a phase modulator. The NRZ signal generator generates a NRZ signal. The pre-coder codes the NRZ signal generated by the NRZ signal generator into a differential signal. The low pass “filter electrically limits a bandwidth of the differential signal obtained through the pre-coder. The phase modulator modulates an optical signal input from the light source into a DPSK signal using the differential signal having the bandwidth electrically limited by the low pass filter.
Abstract:
A fuel cell system is disclosed. The fuel cell system includes a stack unit including a fuel electrode and an air electrode and generating electricity by an electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen; a fuel supply unit supplying hydrogen to the fuel electrode of the stack unit; an air supply unit supplying the air to the air electrode of the stack unit; and a residual gas storage unit storing residual hydrogen exhausted from the stack unit or the fuel supply unit and then supplying the residual hydrogen to the stack unit again or to another system requiring hydrogen. The residual gas storage unit of the fuel cell system allows residual hydrogen to re-supplied to the stack unit if necessary, so that a waste of raw materials for generating hydrogen can be reduced and thus a cost can be reduced.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an optical transponder with an add/drop operation function of optical channels, which combines operating functions of adding and dropping type optical transponders in accordance with mounting of a digital wrapper to simultaneously process two optical channels. The optical transponder receives an optical signal, converts the optical signal into electrical signal, adds maintenance information, monitoring information, and error correction information to each of the converted signals, and detects the maintenance information, monitoring information, and errors contained in each of the signals. Furthermore The optical transponder corrects the detected errors, and transmits the signals having the maintenance information, monitoring information, and error correction information and the signals of which errors are corrected.
