  • Publication number: 20240174043
    Abstract: An air conditioner housing of a vehicle includes a body having an internal space through which air flows and having a heat exchanger mounted at the internal space. The heat exchanger cools the air. A discharge port is at a lower end of the body and provides fluid communication between the internal space and an exterior of the body and discharges condensate water generated from the heat exchanger to the exterior. A plurality of blocking portions is disposed around the discharge port and protrudes into the internal space, thereby preventing foreign substances inside the body from directly blocking the discharge port.

  • Patent number: 7352618
    Abstract: A NOR flash memory device comprises a memory cell adapted to store at least two bits of data. A read operation is performed on the memory cell by generating a reference current with a first magnitude to detect the value of a most significant bit (MSB) and generating the reference current with a second magnitude to detect the value of a least significant bit (LSB). The respective values of the MSB and the LSB are detected by comparing the first and second reference currents to an amount of current flowing through the memory cell during the read operation. The respective magnitudes of the first and second reference currents are determined by different reference voltages generated by a reference voltage generator.
