Abstract:
Proposed are a robot cleaner having an improved wheel structure to escape from being stuck in various travel conditions, and a control method thereof. The robot cleaner may smoothly escape from a door sill or an obstacle to stably travel irrespective of a state of a floor by providing an optimal frictional force of the floor through the control of an electric current of a motor when the robot cleaner escapes from being stuck. Also, the robot cleaner may stably travel without shaking by controlling an electric current flowing through the motor after the robot cleaner escapes from being stuck and before the driving wheel returns to a normal mode. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent a wheel mechanism such as a gear from being damaged by an external shock (e.g., which is caused by a pet or an object drop) or a shock caused by autonomous vibration when the robot cleaner crosses over an obstacle.
Abstract:
An antenna apparatus for a portable terminal having a main board is provided. The antenna apparatus includes a main antenna that electrically connects to a feed line of the main board. A metal frame is constructed as part of a case frame forming an exterior of the portable terminal. The metal frame is divided into first and second parts that are separated. The first part electrically connects to the main antenna or to the main board feed line, and is designed to radiate. The second part electrically connects to a ground surface of the main board. The metal frame enhances overall antenna performance rather than causing degradation through interference.

Abstract:
A built-in antenna apparatus for a electronic device is provided. The antenna apparatus comprises a PCB with conductive and non-conductive areas. An antenna radiator is disposed at the non-conductive area of the PCB; the antenna radiator has a feeding portion and at least a first radiating portion configured in a first pattern branched from the feeding portion and has an end portion electrically connected to the conductive area. At least one capacitor is electrically connected in series within the first radiating portion. A resonant frequency of the first radiating portion is a function of a capacitance value of the at least one capacitor. The antenna can be provided in a smaller size for a given frequency band due to the capacitance. A second antenna radiator branched from the feeding portion can also be provided for operation at a different frequency band.
