Abstract:
A dishwasher is provided, which can prevent deformation of a filter due to water pressure from occurring, even if the filter is stopped up with dirt. The dishwasher includes a sump that stores washing water, a drainage chamber provided at a side of the sump and linked with a drainage pump, a dirt chamber including a collection pipe that supplies the washing water of the drainage chamber to a dirt storage device, a filter provided above the dirt storage device, that filters the washing water, and a bypass path that links the drainage chamber with the sump, provided to pass through a position higher than the filter.
Abstract:
Electrical connections that provide a highly manufacturable, well-shielded path from a cable to a printed circuit board. One example provides a path that includes a card and a connector. Conductors in a cable may be attached to a card. The card may be shielded with a ground plane on one or more sides and edges. The card may insert into a connector that may be attached to a printed circuit board. The connector may include a shield that may have a top portion that forms electrical contact with a ground plane on a top of a card inserted in the connector. The connector may have an opening for accepting the card that is defined by the top portion of the shield and a plurality of rows of contacts. The rows of contacts may include an outer row of ground contacts, and an inner row of signal contacts.
Abstract:
A system for transmitting and receiving an event message is provided. The system comprises a transmitting terminal that generates an event message, and that transmits the event message and caller information, an event message service server that stores phonebook data after receiving the phonebook data transmitted from at least one terminal, that searches for a receiving terminal including the caller information in the phonebook data among receiving terminals included in the phonebook data of the transmitting terminal when receiving the event message, and that transmits the event message to the searched receiving terminal, and a receiving terminal that receives an event message transmitted by the event message service server, and informs its user of reception of the event message.
Abstract:
Connectors having a smaller profile. These connectors are useful as a reduced form factor DisplayPort connector. Keys on a receptacle are used to indicate when an insert is fully engaged. Edges of the receptacle and insert are chamfered in such a way as to prevent the pins of the connector from being damaged when an improper insertion is attempted. User experience is also enhanced by the use of one or more latches. As the connector is inserted, the latch provides resistance that builds until the connector is inserted a certain distance, after which the latch enters a cutout portion of the insert thus releasing the pressure and letting the user know the connection has been made. Fingers are employed to provide mechanical stability and electrical connection between receptacle and insert.
Abstract:
Dish washing machine that includes a steam generator, which supplies steam during a washing operation, to aid in the washing of dishes and other items in the dish washing machine. The dish washing machine further including one or more dish washing racks that effectively orient the dishes, and other items to be washed, in such a way so as to avoid inhibiting the steam from being evenly distributed around each of the dishes and other items to be washed. The dish washing machine also including a steam zone indicator to aid in effectively positioning the dishes and other items to be washed by visually distinguishing the region or zone within the dish washing machine that corresponds with high-intensity steam.
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus for controlling a digital image display apparatus having a tuner and a DVR system, and a method thereof. According to the apparatus, a visitor history is selectively stored only when a user is absent or a movement of a visitor is detected using the digital image display apparatus having the DVR system. Accordingly, not only unnecessary images are not stored, but also a function of an image display device is performed and simultaneously images transmitted from a movement shooting unit mounted separately from the digital image display apparatus can be selectively recorded in order to detect a movement of an object. Therefore, the image display apparatus can be more efficiently utilized.
Abstract:
A display controller for reducing display noise includes a memory configured to store frame data including M-lines of data, where M is an integer of at least 2; a data size controller configured to variably adjust a size of data transmitted to the display device; and a display driving circuit configured to read data corresponding to the data size from the memory and transmit the data to the display device.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide microelectronic fabrication methods in which a sacrificial pattern is formed on a substrate. A spacer formation layer is formed on the substrate, the spacer formation layer covering the sacrificial pattern. The spacer formation layer is etched to expose an upper surface of the sacrificial pattern and to leave at least one spacer on at least one sidewall of the sacrificial pattern. A first portion of the sacrificial pattern having a first width is removed while leaving intact a second portion of the sacrificial pattern having a second width greater than the first width to thereby form a composite mask pattern including the at least one spacer and a portion of the sacrificial layer. An underlying portion of the substrate is etched using the composite mask pattern as an etching mask.
