Accordingly, the communication channel may be changed to an optimal communication channel according to a change a communication environment.
Abstract:
A co-rotating scroll compressor is provided in which pressure differences between inner and outer portions of a suction chamber are maintained, back pressures are applied to rear surfaces of end plates of a drive scroll and a driven scroll in directions in which the two scrolls are moved toward each other to prevent compression leakage of a fluid, and a lubricant oil is easily supplied to the two scrolls using the back pressures. The co-rotating scroll compressor may include pressure seals between the rear surfaces of the end plates of the drive scroll and the driven scroll and an inner wall of the suction chamber such that the two scrolls are pressed in directions to be moved toward each other by the back pressures, and the oil is supplied to rotary supports and close contact portions of the two scrolls using the back pressures.
Abstract:
A compressor according to the present disclosure may include a container; a drive motor provided in the container; a crankshaft coupled to a rotor of the drive motor; a first scroll coupled to the crankshaft to receive a rotational force of the drive motor to perform an orbiting movement; a second scroll coupled to the first scroll to form a first compression unit and a second compression unit along with the first scroll; and a vane provided in the first scroll or second scroll to be brought into contact with the other side scroll to form the second compression unit, wherein the first compression unit is carried out in a scroll compression mode and the second compression unit is carried out in a rotary compression mode.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a washing machine that is capable of having a reduced washing time and improved washing performance, and a method of controlling the same. The washing machine includes a tub accommodating wash water, a drum rotatably arranged in the tub and accommodating laundry, a drive unit for rotating the drum, a water supply unit for adjusting an inflow of the wash water, and a control unit, wherein the control unit drives the drive unit and detects an amount of the laundry so as to set a target water level, controls the water supply unit to supply the wash water into the tub such that the wash water is lower than the target water level, drives the drive unit to accelerate the drum at a rotational speed, and controls the water supply unit to supply the wash water into the tub until the target water level.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for changing services in a direct communication system. A method for setting up a session in a first wireless device supporting a Wi-Fi direct service, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can include the steps of: setting up a connection between a first wireless device and a second wireless device, which includes a provision discovery process between the first wireless device and the second wireless device for creating a session for a first service; and transmitting a request_session message from the first wireless device to the second wireless device for creating a session for a second service. Session information for the second service can be included in the request_session message.
