Abstract: A lens is provided in an asymmetric shape including at least two curved surfaces with different light distribution angles. Therefore, uniformity ratio of illuminance and coefficient of utilization (CU) may be increased while reducing dazzle. When a lighting apparatus including the lens is used as a street light, light directly incident to a driver is minimized, thereby reducing dazzle to the driver. During a night drive, brightness at a far forward position of the driver may be increased. In addition, light emitted toward a street may be increased while reducing light emitted toward a sidewalk. As a result, uniformity ratio of illuminance and coefficient of utilization (CU) may be increased. Also, light pollution may be reduced.

The ice thermal storage tank includes: a tank body accommodating an ice storage liquid cooled according to an ice thermal storage scheme; a cold water generation unit heat-exchanging introduced water with the cooled ice storage liquid to generate cold water; and a circulation unit extracting the ice storage liquid accommodated in the tank body to circulate it within the tank body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a resistive memory simultaneously having rectifying characteristics and resistive characteristics according to a bias direction, wherein a resistive diode is interposed between electrodes at the top and bottom thereof. The resistive diode has a form in which a p-type resistive semiconductor layer is bonded to an n-type resistive semiconductor layer. When a high reverse bias is applied to the resistive diode, the resistive diode forms a conductive filament. When a forward bias is applied thereafter, a reset that destroys a portion of the formed conductive filament occurs, and as a result, a high resistance state is formed. Additionally, when a reverse bias is applied again, a set operation regenerating a conductive filament occurs. Thus, a low resistance state is achieved. Moreover, in order to achieve a resistive semiconductor layer and ohmic contact, and suppress the formation of a Schottky barrier, an ohmic contact layer is formed on the resistive diode.
