20090120140 | Washing machine - The present invention relates to a washing machine, and the washing machine includes a drum rotatably installed in a cabinet, an air heater for heating air, to supply hot air to the drum, a steam generator for generating steam, and supply the steam to the drum, and a water supply unit including a nozzle for spraying the steam generated by the steam generator to an interior of the drum, and a nozzle holder having a coupler at a rear surface of the nozzle holder, to separably mount the nozzle at a position adjacent to the drum. | 05-14-2009 |
20090126222 | Dryer - A laundry machine, in particular, a dryer using steam, is disclosed. The dryer includes an object container for containing an object, a control panel provided as a user interface, and a controller. In the dryer, the control panel comprises a course selector for enabling a user to select one of a steam-enable course, in which a steam cycle for supply steam to the object container is enabled, a steam course, in which the steam cycle is provided, and a steam-off course, from which the steam cycle is excluded, as operation courses. The controller controls an operation of the dryer to execute the selected operation course. | 05-21-2009 |
20090126423 | Laundry treating apparatus - A laundry treating apparatus, particularly, a laundry treating apparatus using steam is disclosed. The laundry treating apparatus such as a washing machine, a dryer, a drying and washing machine is an apparatus which washes or dries articles such as clothes. The laundry treating apparatus includes an operation course including a drying process in which hot air is supplied into a drum adapted to accommodate articles to dry the articles and a cooling process in which cool air is supplied into the drum to cool the articles, wherein the operation course further includes a steam process in which steam is supplied into the drum, and the laundry treating apparatus includes a controller which controls a heater adapted to generate the steam such that an operation time point of the heater varies according to an amount of the articles. The laundry treating apparatus includes a drum adapted to accommodate articles, a control panel adapted to provide an interface with a user, and a controller to perform a steam process for supplying steam into the drum, wherein the controller controls a heater adapted to generate the steam to perform the steam process such that an operation time point of the heater varies according to an amount of the articles. | 05-21-2009 |
20090183385 | CONTROLLING METHOD OF DRYER - The present invention relates to a control method of a dryer that is capable of sensing whether a fire occurs inside the dryer and capable of extinguishing the fire. A control method of a dryer includes steps of: performing drying by using dry hot air; measuring temperature inside a drum during the step of performing drying by using dry hot air; and primarily and secondarily sensing whether a fire occurs inside the drum based on the sensed temperature. | 07-23-2009 |
20130248051 | METHOD OF FORMING RIGID LAYER ON TITANIUM AND TITANIUM ALLOY HAVING RIGID LAYER FORMED BY THE SAME - Disclosed is a method capable of inexpensively forming a gradient-hardened rigid layer which has characteristics of functionally graded material on the surface layer of titanium. The method includes (a) injecting titanium into a heat treatment apparatus and performing ventilation to maintain an atmospheric pressure of 10 | 09-26-2013 |
20140112820 | BETA-BASED TITANIUM ALLOY WITH LOW ELASTIC MODULUS - A beta-based titanium alloy with a low elastic modulus includes 37 wt. % to 41 wt. % niobium (Nb), 5 wt. % to 8 wt. % zirconium (Zr), and a balance of titanium (Ti), with unavoidable impurities, and having an elastic modulus of 47 GPa or lower. The beta-based titanium alloy has a much lower elastic modulus than the typical biomedical titanium alloys, and thus can resolve the problem of so-called “stress shield effect.” Therefore, the beta-based titanium alloy can be widely used as a material for general civilian goods such as eyewear frames and headsets and sports and leisure goods, as well as a biomedical material for artificial bones, artificial teeth and artificial hip joints. | 04-24-2014 |
