Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator includes a main body having a cooling chamber. The refrigerator also includes a dispenser having an accommodation portion positioned at a front side of the refrigerator and configured to provide ice through the accommodation portion without opening a door of the refrigerator. The refrigerator further includes a chute having an outlet, coupled to the dispenser, and configured to transfer ice stored in an ice container to the dispenser. In addition, the refrigerator includes an opening and closing member positioned at the outlet of the chute and configured to open or close the outlet of the chute in response to a driving signal, wherein the opening and closing member and the outlet of the chute have a circular shape.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator having a dispenser. The refrigerator has a chute that defines an ice flow passage through a door of the refrigerator, and an opening and closing member configured to open and close an outlet of the chute. A cross-sectional area of the outlet of the chute is less than or equal to a cross-sectional area of any other portion of the chute.
Abstract:
A refrigerator is provided. A water supply passage unit of the refrigerator is installed going around a freezing compartment but via an outer side of the main body. Therefore, the water supply passage unit is not frozen.
Abstract:
Provided are an ice maker and a refrigerator including the same. The ice maker for making ice is provided on a rear side of a refrigerator door. A tray cover, a water flood prevention rib, and a rotation guide are provided to prevent flooding of water stored in an ice tray forming the ice maker while the refrigerator door is opened/closed. According to the ice maker and the re¬ frigerator, reduction in a storage capacity of the refrigerator is prevented, flooding of water for making ice is prevented, and the ice maker can be more easily used.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for sensing ice-making water in a refrigerator. The method includes activating a pump to move water from a water tank to an ice-making chamber; comparing a temperature of the ice-making chamber with an ice-making reference temperature set; when the temperature of the ice-making chamber is equal to the ice-making reference temperature, calculating an ice-making consumption time until the ice-making reference temperature after the activating of the pump; comparing the ice-making consumption time with an ice-making reference time set; and when the ice-making consumption time is smaller than the ice-making reference time, determining that there is no water in the water tank.
Abstract:
A fuel additive composition comprising hydrogen peroxide, an amine-based stabilizer, borax, and sodium hydroxide is disclosed. The composition is added to such fuel as coal, oil, and gas to facilitate combustion and remove impurities in a combustion apparatus, thereby improving thermal efficiency, and it reduces discharge of noxious gases such as SOx, NOx, and CO.

Abstract:
Provided is a refrigerator configured to expand the inner space thereof by improving the structure of a refrigerator door to achieve the slimness of the refrigerator door provided with an ice-making device, and the refrigerator is further provided with a basket or a special freezing chamber adapted for storing foods. The refrigerator includes a main body including a storage chamber, a door rotatably coupled to the main body, an ice-making device provided to the door and configured to make ice, and a special freezing chamber provided to the door and including a communication hole to introduce cool air of the ice-making device. The slimed refrigerator door of the refrigerator is configured to receive a food basket, and the space for foods in the refrigerator is increased.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a metamorphic compound semiconductor solar cell is provided. The method includes forming a graded buffer layer on a support substrate, the graded buffer layer having a graded lattice constant from a bottom surface thereof toward a top surface thereof. A sacrificial layer is formed on the graded buffer layer. A solar cell structure is formed on the sacrificial layer. A support structure is formed on the solar cell structure. The sacrificial layer is selectively etched to separate the solar cell structure from the graded buffer layer. The separated solar cell structure is bonded to a host substrate.
Abstract:
Provided is a tandem solar cell including different kinds of solar cells and a method of manufacturing the same. The tandem solar cell includes an inorganic solar cell constituted by a compound semiconductor including a p-type compound semiconductor layer and a n-type compound semiconductor layer disposed on a lower electrode, an intermediate electrode disposed on the inorganic solar cell, and an organic solar cell disposed on the intermediate electrode and having an upper electrode on a surface thereof opposite to the intermediate electrode.
