  • Patent number: 9554053
    Abstract: A photographing apparatus including a sensor, a touchscreen, and a controller is disclosed. The sensor is configured to detect that a user approaches or comes within a predetermined proximity the photographing apparatus. The touchscreen is configured to display an image representing a state of the photographing apparatus and receive a gesture of the user. The controller is configured to enable a function of the touchscreen to detect the gesture based on a signal received from the sensor, and execute a function corresponding to the gesture.

  • Patent number: 7587891
    Abstract: A method for regenerating a NOx absorbing catalyst includes: detecting a NOx value by a NOx sensor and determining whether to perform a regeneration mode or not based on a comparison of the sensed value and a predetermined upper limit; performing a first regeneration mode for a predetermined time period; if it is determined that the regeneration mode needs to be performed, determining a time period T2 for performing a second regeneration mode and performing the second regeneration mode for the determined time period T2; determining whether to perform a poisoning recovery mode based on the determination of whether a performance of the NOx absorbing catalyst has been deteriorated using an amount of exhausted NOx sensed after the performing of the second regeneration mode; and performing the poisoning recovery mode if it is determined that the poisoning recovery mode needs to be performed.
