Abstract:
A power supply and a gate driver includes a power switching element to control current, a control circuit to output a control signal for opening or closing of the power switching element, and a gate drive circuit to open or close the power switching element in accordance with the control signal. The gate drive circuit includes a first inductive circuit connected to a supply voltage source, and a second inductive circuit connected to an input stage of the power switching element, and transfers electrical energy stored in the input stage of the power switching element, using the first and second inductive circuits. Accordingly, electrical energy supplied to the input stage of the power switching element during an ON state of the power switching element is again recovered during an OFF state of the power switching element.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an X-ray device to inform a patient of X-ray irradiation through a sound and a method for controlling the same. The X-ray device includes an input portion to output a first-step press signal and a second-step press signal according to an operator input, a high-voltage generating portion to perform pre-heating, and to output a ready completion signal when the high-voltage generating portion completes pre-heating, a control portion to output a sound output signal when it receives both the second-step press signal output from the input portion and the ready completion signal output from the high-voltage generating portion, and a sound output portion to receive the sound output signal output from the control portion and to output a predetermined sound.
Abstract:
A power consumption control apparatus and a power consumption control method capable of providing a power storage being utilized as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), and in a case of an emergency, automatically selecting a load to supply a backup power to the load, the power consumption control method including determining an occurrence of an abnormality in a supply of a grid power and a renewable power, performing an emergency mode to immediately finish a current operation of a load if it is determined that an abnormality in the supply of both of the grid power and the renewable power has occurred, and performing a standby mode to stand by until the current operation of the load is finished in a normal manner if it is determined that an abnormality in the supply of the grid power has occurred while the supply of the renewable power is normal.
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 medical imaging apparatus and a medical image management method provide information regarding image deletion to a user upon deleting stored images, thus allowing the user to intuitively recognize a storage capacity and to select a data capacity to be deleted. The medical imaging apparatus includes a storage unit storing images, a controller calculating a residual capacity among the storage capacity of the storage unit and determining whether or the residual capacity is less than a predetermined reference value, and a display unit displaying an auto deletion popup window receiving setting regarding a reference date for deletion of the stored images, if the residual capacity is less than the predetermined reference value.
