Abstract:
A semiconductor device including a first fin protruding on a substrate and extending in a first direction; a first gate electrode on the first fin, the first gate electrode intersecting the first fin; a first trench formed within the first fin at a side of the first gate electrode; a first epitaxial layer filling a portion of the first trench, wherein a thickness of the first epitaxial layer becomes thinner closer to a sidewall of the first trench; and a second epitaxial layer filling the first trench on the first epitaxial layer, wherein a boron concentration of the second epitaxial layer is greater than a boron concentration of the first epitaxial layer.
Abstract:
A cleaner includes a case which includes an inlet for suctioning in rubbish on a surface to be cleaned, a driver which is provided inside the case and includes a motor which generates power, a drum body which is provided in the inlet and configured to receive the power from the driver and rotate, and a drum blade arranged in an outer circumferential direction of the drum body and formed with a blade air current hole through which air suctioned in through the inlet passes.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a robot cleaner capable of reducing the material cost thereof by use of fewer motors, and performing wet cleaning while travelling in all directions and rubbing the floor surface, the robot cleaner includes a plurality of motors generating driving forces, a plurality of pad assemblies configured to rotate by receiving a driving force from one of the plurality of motors, and provided in a tilted manner so that a bottom surface of each of the plurality of pad assemblies has an uneven frictional force with respect to a floor surface, and a tilt gear unit configured to simultaneously vary tilting directions of the plurality of pad assemblies by receiving a driving force from another one of the plurality of motors, wherein the robot clean can travel in all directions depending on a tilting direction and a rotational direction of each of the plurality of pad assemblies.
Abstract:
A cleaning robot having improved traveling performance and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot detects a stuck state such as a ‘jammed state’, ‘lifted state’, or ‘object-caught state’ by using a motion instruction or sensor information and quickly escapes from the stuck state caused in various traveling conditions by using a wheel structure capable of changing a total height of the cleaning robot. In addition, a degree of risk and type of the stuck state is predicted before the cleaning robot is in the stuck state so that the cleaning robot may deal with the stuck state in advance. The cleaning robot may escape from the stuck state via rapidly deceleration or quick stopping in accordance with the predicted degree of risk of the stuck state, and the cleaning robot may efficiently deal with the stuck state by using information to select an escaping method suitable for the type of the stuck state.
Abstract:
A method to operate a receiving node is provided. The method includes receiving a first set of reference signals being transmit-beamformed using transmit beam groups in at least one transmitting node with receive-beamforming using receive beam groups. The method also includes transmitting information to select one transmit beam group of the transmit beam groups to one of the at least one transmitting node. The method further includes receiving a second set of the reference signals being transmit-beamformed using transmit beams of the one of the transmit beam groups in the at least one transmitting node with receive-beamforming using receive beams of one of the receive beam groups.
