  • Publication number: 20030233838
    Abstract: Disclosed are an air conditioning system with two compressors so as to shorten standby time for re-operating a stopped compressor and variably change the compression capacity of a refrigerant according to cooling load, and a method for operating the air conditioning system. The method for operating the air conditioning system with two compressors, comprises the first step of simultaneously operating the compressors regardless of cooling load at an early stage of the operation, the second step of selectively operating one of the compressors according to the cooling load, and the third step of additionally re-operating the stopped compressor when the operated compressor selected from the compressor in the second step is continuously operated for longer than a designated time, thereby shortening the standby time for re-operating the stopped compressor, rapidly changing the compression capacity of the refrigerant according to the cooling load, and improving users' comfort within a room.

  • Patent number: 5452023
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for and method of stabilizing a picture in an image system during the changing of a broadcast channel. Since channel altering causes noise in synchronization, and an unstable picture when performing automatic frequency tuning (AFT) and automatic gain control (AGC), an image signal of the previous channel is stored in an image memory before being changed, and output onto the screen using a switch controlled by a microcomputer during the unstable period for AFT and AGC, instead of the image signal of the altered channel. The image signal of the altered channel is output after the output of an automatic controlled is stabilized.
