Abstract:
A motor driving apparatus includes a first module on which an inverter circuit configured to supply a driving current to a motor is mounted, a second module on which a control circuit configured to control the inverter circuit is mounted, and a third module on which a power circuit configured to supply direct-current (DC) power to at least one of the inverter circuit and the control circuit. The first module and the second module are attachable to and detachable from the third module.
Abstract:
A dryer includes a main body, a drying chamber provided inside the main body and configured to accommodate objects to be dried, a conveying unit configured to convey the objects to be dried, a sensor unit configured to sense information on states of the objects to be dried, and a control unit configured to control the conveying unit to move the objects to be dried based on the information sensed by the sensor unit.
Abstract:
A load power monitoring apparatus and method use a power line communication apparatus and method. The power line communication apparatus is capable of performing power line communication through a simple circuit structure by loading a data signal on a current signal supplied over the power line. The power line communication apparatus includes a transmission unit configured to generate a data signal using the current signal, which is supplied through the power line, as a carrier wave, and to transmit the data signal through the power line, and a reception unit configured to receive the data signal, which is generated by the transmission unit, through the power line.
Abstract:
An computing system includes: receiving an image that captures a hand and an object; estimating a three-dimensional (3D) mesh of the hand based on the image; estimating a two-dimensional (2D) segment of the object based on the image; estimating a 3D feature representing a correlation of the hand and the object, based on the 3D mesh of the hand and the 2D segment of the object; and generating a first set of output parameters for a first 3D query point, based on the 3D feature representing the correlation of the hand and the object.
Abstract:
A pose of a person is estimated using an image and audio impulse responses. The image represents a 2D scene including the person. The audio impulse responses are obtained with the present absent and present in an environment. The pose is reconstructed based on the image and the one or more audio impulse responses. The pose is a metric scale human pose.
Abstract:
A power management apparatus includes an electric device including a plurality of operation algorithm information and power information for each operation level corresponding to each operation algorithm information, and a power management unit to receive power rate information from a power provider, determine an operation level of the electric device on the basis of the received power rate information and power information for each operation level of the electric device, and control an operation of the electric device at the determined operation level. As a result, the power management apparatus performs different operation algorithms according to power rate information, and controls power consumption of the electric device, such that energy efficiency at the user side can be maximized. In response to the changed power rate information, the currently-driven electric device and the electric device to be driven can be driven at the optimum operation level appropriate for their power consumption characteristics.
Abstract:
A washing machine which performs a washing operation by heating water, a detergent, or a wash liquid using a dielectric heating method and a method of controlling the washing machine. The washing machine may include a water supply portion which supplies a wash liquid including water and a detergent, a power supply portion which supplies alternating current (AC) power, and an electric field forming portion which forms an electric field between a first electrode portion and a second electrode portion according to the AC power to heat the supplied wash liquid.
Abstract:
A power management apparatus including an information collecting unit configured to collect at least one reference electric signal and at least one product information that correspond to at least one load, a storage unit configured to store the collected at least one reference electric signal and the collected at least one product information that correspond to the at least one load, a measurement unit configured to measure electric signals of loads provided in a power management domain, and a control unit configured to find a reference electric signal, corresponding to the measured electric signal, among the stored reference electric signals, check product information corresponding to the found electric signal and display the checked product information. The reference electric signal of each load is acquired in advance, and electric signals of loads are distinguished among all electric signals, thereby enhancing the efficiency in recognizing each load.
