An on-chip network interfacing apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of on-chip network ports; a switch receiving data from a first on-chip network port of the on-chip network ports and transmitting the received data to a second on-chip network port of the on-chip network ports; and an interface unit interfacing an advanced microcontroller bus architecture (AMBA) signal received from an Internet protocol module, which is designed according to an AMBA on-chip bus protocol, and outputting the interfacing result to the first on-chip network port; and interfacing the on-chip network signal received from the first on-chip network port, and outputting the interfacing result to the Internet protocol module. Accordingly, it is possible to establish communications at increased speeds by interfacing a signal according to the AMBA 2.0 on-chip bus protocol with a signal according to the on-chip network protocol.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for controlling multiple powers which is capable of turning on and off the multiple powers in their priorities for systems or components to be supplied with the multiple powers such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) module. In the apparatus for controlling multiple powers, an on-signal of high level is applied to an input terminal, and an output of a control signal generating unit is sequentially changed to a high level whenever a clock is applied to a clock signal input terminal by one period, so that outputs of the multiple powers are sequentially output. In addition, an off signal of low level is applied to the input terminal, and an output of the control signal generating unit is changed to a low level in a reversal order whenever a clock is applied to the clock signal input terminal by one period, so that outputs of the multiple powers are interrupted in the reversal order.
Abstract:
A drum washing machine including an improved balance weight mounting structure is disclosed. The drum washing machine includes a cabinet which forms an outer appearance of the drum washing machine, a tub disposed in the cabinet such that the tub is balanced in weight between positions opposing to each other on a front wall of the tub with respect to a center of the front wall of the tub, and a drum rotatably disposed in the tub to perform a washing function in accordance with a rotation of a motor attached to a rear wall of the tub. Balance weights are mounted to the front wall of the tub to cause the tub to be balanced in weight between positions opposing to each other on the front wall of the tub with respect to the center of the front wall of the tub.
Abstract:
A washing machine including a gasket having improved durability is disclosed. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub provided in the cabinet, storing washing water, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, washing the laundry, a door provided in the cabinet, a gasket provided between the door and the tub, including a bent portion, and a reinforcement member provided in the bent portion of the gasket, preventing the bent portion from being abraded.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus for supplying a detergent in a washer, in which a liquid detergent box supplying a liquid detergent mixed with water is provided to a powdered detergent container of a detergent box, by which the liquid detergent is conveniently supplied, and by which the decolorization or discoloration of a laundry can be prevented. The present invention includes a detergent box having a powdered detergent container to mix a powdered detergent and water to supply and a liquid detergent box detachably provided to the powdered detergent container to mix a liquid detergent and water to supply.
Abstract:
Cabinet for a washing machine is disclosed. The present invention provides a cabinet for washing machine including a base panel 10, one pair of side panels 20 provided to opposite edges of the base panel 10, a front panel 30 provided to front edges of the base 10 and side panels 20, a rear panel 40 provided to rear edges of the base 10 and side panels 20, and a top panel 50 detachably provided to top edges of the side, front, and rear panels 20, 30, and 40.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to laundry machines, and more particularly, to a control unit assembly in a laundry machine which enables easy assembly and accurate alignment of an input device of a printed circuit board with a button portion of a control panel. The control unit assembly includes a control panel having various operation buttons and coupling portions, a plurality of coating guides coupled to a rear surface of the control panel having fastening portions corresponding to the coupling portions, a plurality of printed circuit boards respectively mounted on the coating guides, each having an electric circuit mounted thereon, joining portions for joining the coating guides together so as to place the coating guides closer to an inside of the control panel, and holders for preventing the coupling portions and fastening portions from moving with respect to each other when the fastening portions are aligned with the coupling portions, thereby improving assembly work, preventing malfunction of the laundry machine, and permitting easy detection of an operation progress.
Abstract:
A parallel chip embedded printed circuit board and manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. With a method of manufacturing a parallel chip embedded printed circuit board, comprising: (a) forming a parallel chip by connecting in parallel a plurality of unit chips having electrodes or electrically connected members formed on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, using at least one conductive member; (b) joining an electrode on one side of the parallel chip to a first board; and (c) joining an electrode on the other side of the parallel chip to a second board, chips may be embedded in a printed circuit board at a low cost, as a plurality of unit chips can be embedded at once, and a mechanical drill or router can be used instead of a laser drill in perforating the cavity or via holes.
