Abstract: An air conditioner includes an outdoor unit, a plurality of mode change devices including at least one mode changer including a branch duct and a changing valve, and configured to receive a control signal from the outdoor unit to control an operation of the at least one mode changer. A plurality of indoor units are connected to the outdoor unit or the plurality of mode change devices. The outdoor unit may determine an operation mode to operate the plurality of mode change devices a plurality of times. Each of the plurality of indoor units may detect a temperature change of an indoor heat exchanger in response to the operation of the mode change devices, to determine the number of connected mode changers and a connectable mode changer candidate group based on the temperature change of the indoor heat exchanger.

Abstract: A plug connector coupled to a receptacle connector is presented, comprising: a conductor for signals; a ring-shaped conductor for ground, the conductor for ground surrounding the conductor for signals; a ring-shaped insulator surrounding the conductor for signals and being surrounded by the conductor for ground, and insulating between the conductor for signals and the conductor for ground; a lower body; and an upper body coupled onto the lower body. The conductor for signals includes a lower portion protruding below a first portion of the top of the insulator, a middle portion inserted into a hollow portion of the first portion, and an upper portion protruding above the first portion. The conductor for ground includes a lower portion protruding below the first portion and an upper portion surrounding the first portion. The lower body includes a lower housing, such that the upper portion is accommodated in the hollow portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a thin film manufacturing apparatus including a chamber having an inner process space of a substrate, a substrate support unit connected to the chamber to support the substrate in the chamber, a heat source unit connected to the chamber and disposed opposite to the substrate support unit, a plasma generation unit connected to one side of the chamber to supply radicals between the substrate support unit and the heat source unit, and a baffle connected to the chamber and including a movement passage of the radicals therein and a plurality of first exhaust holes communicating with the movement passage, which are formed in a top surface thereof. The thin film manufacturing apparatus may improve uniformity of the thin film formed on the substrate.

Abstract: A vapor chamber comprises a front surface member having a curvature, a rear surface member coupled to the front surface member, a wick disposed between the front surface member and the rear surface member, and a refrigerant at least partially filled between the front surface member and the rear surface member, wherein the rear surface member includes a plurality of bent areas.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive comprising an anti-insect ingredient comprising a plant extract, wherein the plant extract comprises an extract of Cinnamomum cassia, an extract of Syzygium aromaticum and an extract of Artemisia capillaris and an adhesive ingredient comprising a binder. The adhesive is environment friendly and does not have any toxic ingredient on a human body and exhibit excellent and synergic anti-insect efficiency by using three plant extracts. Therefore, it is possible to control pests that may have an adverse effect on foods by applying the adhesive to a food package box.
