| 20080238274 | Noise-suppressing dishwasher - Disclosed is a dishwasher that excludes operating noise transferred forwardly through a gap between a lower end of a main body and a mounting surface, thus minimizing noise perceived by a user. The dishwasher includes a main body provided with a washing chamber; and a front panel installed at a lower part of a front surface of the main body, and provided with a lower part covering a gap between the lower end of the main body and a mounting surface. The front panel includes a closure made of a flexible material connected to the lower part of the front panel. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090136135 | Apparatus and method for recognizing characters - Provided is an apparatus and method for recognizing characters. The apparatus includes a display unit to display an image in which a region of interest or an error region is indicated, and a character recognition result, a region-of-interest setting unit to set the region of interest in the image displayed on the display unit, a recognition unit to perform character recognition on the region of interest or the error region and provide the character recognition result to the display unit, and an error correction unit to set the error region in the image displayed on the display region, perform image copying on the set error region according to a user input, and provide a handwriting input using the image copying to the recognition unit. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090173214 | Method and apparatus for storing/searching for music - Provided are a method and apparatus for generating and storing a database that may be searched for music upon a user's request, and a method and apparatus for searching for music corresponding to the user's request. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of melodies are divided based on phrase breaks and are stored, and a number of melodies which are similar to the user's request are detected from the stored melodies. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100043465 | Heat pump system and method of controlling the same - Provided are a heat pump system and a method of controlling the same. In a heating operation, a refrigerant circulating in an air-conditioning device is heat-exchanged with a working fluid heated by a heating device so as to be heated, and the heating device is controlled according to a temperature of the working fluid. Thus, various types of heating members are conveniently used as the heating device for heating the refrigerant. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100088085 | STATISTICAL MACHINE TRANSLATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A statistical machine translation apparatus and method reflecting linguistic information are provided. In the process of generating a translation model based on statistical information on source language sentences and target language sentences during word alignment, the translation model is generated using word alignment results that are amended based on a bilingual dictionary. Further, instead of using the source language sentence and the target language sentence (i.e., their bilingual corpora) as materials to generate the translation model, it is determined whether or not the morphemes are meaningful content words in the source and target language sentences. Based on the determination, pre-processing is performed on the source language sentence and the target language sentence. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100088829 | Washing machine and method of controlling spin-drying thereof - Disclosed are a washing machine and a method of controlling spin-drying of the washing machine. The method changes the acceleration gradient of the drum passing a resonance point, i.e., the resonance point passing gradient of the drum, when the imbalance of the laundry due to the excessive vibration of the tub is sensed when passing a resonance point region (generally within 100 RPM, approximately 50˜80 RPM, after the entry into the spin-drying cycle) in the spin-drying cycle. Thus the position of the balancer is changed according to the imbalance of the laundry. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100095713 | Drain pump and washing machine having the same - A drain pump including a case including a mounting bracket; a first connection member mounted to the mounting bracket to be spaced from the cabinet; a second connection member inserted in the first connection member; and a fastening member passed through the cabinet and inserted in the second connection member so that the case is mounted to the cabinet. Since the first connection member is spaced from the cabinet, the second connection member can be prevented from being damaged by vibration of the drain pump. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20110182437 | SIGNAL SEPARATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY SELECTING THRESHOLD TO SEPARATE SOUND SOURCES - A signal separation system and a method for automatically selecting a threshold to separate sound sources. The signal separation system calculates a power sequence for a target signal using a target mask, and a power sequence for an interference signal using a complementary mask, based on signals received from a plurality of microphones; applies a nonlinearity to the target signal power sequence and the interference signal power sequence; calculates a correlation coefficient of the nonlinear target signal power sequence and the nonlinear interference signal power sequence; and sets a noise masking threshold that minimizes the correlation coefficient. | 07-28-2011 |
