Abstract:
A method for rapid prototyping including generating cutting data including generating a support structure, deriving a silhouette curve, slicing three dimensional data into two dimensional sectional data, generating bridges for every island in the two dimensional sectional data, and generating cutting data and grouping the cutting data into first and second cutting data groups. The method also includes building a part in which an adhesive sheet is used as bond layers which includes cutting the adhesive sheet according to the first cutting data in which a perimeter of excess adhesive sheet region is cut to provide excess adhesive sheet material, peeling of backing paper of the adhesive sheet in which the excess adhesive sheet material is removed with the peeled backing paper, providing and lifting a platform in which the cut adhesive sheet is fed to a previously-built part, bonding in which the fed sheet is bonded to the previously-built part, cutting the bonded adhesive sheet according to the second cutting data in which remaining adhesive sheet edges are cut, lowering the platform, and post processing where the support structure and ridges are removed to form the built part.
Abstract:
A method of controlling the drying operation of a washing machine which comprising proceeding with an initial drying operation by applying a power voltage to a motor for a predetermined period of time according to the volume of laundry being treated; proceeding with an interim drying operation by applying a power voltage to the motor at a predetermined phase angle according to the volume of the laundry; and following with a main drying operation by applying a power voltage to the motor for a predetermined period of time.
Abstract:
Prosthetic intervertebral discs and methods for using the same are described. The subject prosthetic discs include upper and lower endplates separated by a compressible core member. The prosthetic discs described herein include one-piece, two-piece, three-piece, and four-piece structures. The subject prosthetic discs exhibit stiffness in the vertical direction, torsional stiffness, bending stiffness in the saggital plane, and bending stiffness in the front plane, where the degree of these features can be controlled independently by adjusting the components of the discs. The interface mechanism between the endplates and the core members of several embodiments of the described prosthetic discs enables a very easy surgical operation for implantation.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a rechargeable lithium battery including an electrolyte for the rechargeable lithium battery is provided. The electrolyte for the rechargeable lithium battery includes: a non-aqueous organic solvent; a lithium salt; and a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a home appliance diagnosis system and to a method for operating same, wherein product information is output in a predetermined signal sound by a home appliance product, and the signal sound is transmitted via a communication network connected to a remote service center to enable the service center to easily check the state of the home appliance product. In addition, the product information is encoded into a predetermined format and modulated to enable sound to be outputted by the home appliance product, thereby preventing noise or signal errors. The present invention enables stable signal modulation and accurate sound output, and enables the easy recovery of the sound transmitted to the service center via the communication network.
