    Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a driving device, a sensor, a memory, and a processor. The processor controls the driving device to drive the robot cleaner at a space and generates generate a map of a space based on sensor data obtained while the robot cleaner driving in the space. The map is stored in the memory. The processor divides the space on the generated map into a plurality of rooms and recognizes an object and a position of the recognized object in the space on the generated map based on the information obtained through the sensor. The processor stores information about the recognized object and the position of the recognized object on the map, and generates a name of each of the plurality of rooms based on information about the recognized object positioned in each of the plurality of rooms.

    Abstract: In an example, a display device may include a flexible display surface element disposed in a housing of the display device; and an adjustable carrier element having a flexible portion and a rigid portion. The flexible portion of the carrier element faces the interior of the housing, the rigid portion is in form of a linear guide and is directed toward external surroundings of the housing, and the flexible portion has at least one guide element. The display device may include a guide apparatus having a supporting surface positioned along the adjustment plane, which guide apparatus may include at least one rail element running along the adjustment axis, which rail element is directed such that the at least one guide element is guided along the adjustment axis in the rail element as the carrier element is adjusted; and an adjustment apparatus configured to control a change between a storing position and a roll-out position of the display surface element by moving the carrier element.

    Abstract: An optical 90-degree hybrid includes two splitters, two combiners and four arm waveguides that connect output ports of the splitters and input ports of the combiners. Each of the splitters, the arm waveguides, and the combiners is a part of an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is configured so that the phase error generated in the splitters due to wavelength change is suppressed by the phase error generated in the arm waveguides due to the wavelength change. The optical waveguide is further configured so that the phase error generated in the splitters due to deviation of a structure parameter from a certain value (e.g., design value) is suppressed by the phase error generated in the arm waveguides due to the deviation.
