20100058796 | ICE BANK FOR REFRIGERATOR - Disclosed is an ice bank for a refrigerator including: an inner case and an outer case forming one storage space having an opened top by being coupled to each other; and a coupling unit coupling the inner and outer cases to each other so that either one is relatively movable with respect to the other one so as for the capacity of the storage space to be variable. The ice bank for a refrigerator includes the inner and outer cases coupled to each other so that either one is relatively movable with respect to the other one, whereby accordingly the capacity of the ice bank is variable depending on the amount of ice that a customer needs, thereby enhancing the customer's product satisfaction. Further, when the customer needs a small amount of ice, the capacity of the ice bank can be reduced, accordingly enabling to effectively utilize the storage space of the refrigerator. Further, the ice bank stores as much ice as the customer needs, accordingly preventing deterioration of the ice resulting from long-time storage in the ice bank. | 03-11-2010 |

20090106820 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USER AUTHENTICATION BASED ON ODOR RECOGNITION - A system for a user authentication includes an odor sensor unit for sensing an odor of a user's body to generate an odor biometric information vector, and a learning unit for performing an initial learning using the odor biometric information vector to generate a comparative odor biometric information vector. An authentication unit performs the user authentication by comparing an odor biometric information vector of the user's body to be authenticated from the odor sensor unit with the comparative biometric information vector if the user authentication is required. The authentication unit further performs an incremental learning of the comparative odor biometric information vector using the odor biometric information vector used in the authentication to create an incrementally learned odor biometric information vector. The comparative odor biometric information vector is updated with the incrementally learned odor biometric information vector. | 04-23-2009 |
