    Abstract: A dryer is disclosed. The dryer includes a heat exchanger configured to remove moisture from air flowing and heat and discharge the moisture-removed air, a drum containing a material to be dried, a humidity sensor configured to detect a humidity of the air flowing from the drum, a fan configured to generate a flow of the air flowing along a flow path formed so that the air discharged from the heat exchanger flows to the heat exchanger via the drum and the humidity sensor, and a processor configured to determine a dried state of the material to be dried based on the humidity detected through the humidity sensor, and the humidity sensor is disposed at a position where a flow velocity of the air is equal to or higher than a predetermined velocity in the flow path formed between the drum and the heat exchanger.

    Abstract: An article storage apparatus includes a sensor device sensing gases included in air in a chamber where an article is stored; a concentrator concentrating the gases contained in the air; a filtering device filtering the gases contained in the air; and at least one processor. The at least one processor controls the concentrator to concentrate the gases contained in the air, and identifies a condition of the article based on a concentration level of a target gas related to the article measured by the sensor device when the target gas is extracted as gases desorbed from the concentrator pass the filtering device.

    Abstract: An oven has a sensor including a light-emitting portion for outputting light in a first wavelength band and light in a second wavelength band and a light-receiving portion for receiving light reflected from a cooking product in the oven. A processor to, when a user command for initiating cooking is input, output the light in the first wavelength band through the light-emitting portion. When the light output from the light-emitting portion is reflected from the cooking product and received by the light-receiving portion, the processor determines the size of the cooking product on the basis of the received light in the first wavelength band, and outputs the light in the second wavelength band through the light-emitting portion while the cooking product is being cooked on the basis of a cooking time determined according to the determined size of the cooking product.

    Abstract: A clothes-treating apparatus includes: a housing including an accommodating space to accommodate clothes therein; and a plurality of air conditioning modules provided inside the housing and different in an air conditioning function from each other, wherein each of the plurality of air conditioning modules is provided to be switched over between an exposing status in which the air conditioning function is activated and a blocking status in which the air conditioning function is inactivated, and a first air conditioning module among the plurality of air conditioning modules is in the exposing status while a second air conditioning module is in the blocking status. Thus, the clothes-treating apparatus prevents the air conditioning functions of the plurality of air conditioning modules from being offset by each other, thereby improving the effects of the air conditioning functions and extending the life of each air conditioning module.
