Abstract: Provided is a fastening structure of a clamp for supporting a power line and an insulator, which includes a fastening means for preventing an end of the insulator from being separated from the clamp in a state in which the end of the insulator is disposed between an arm part and an auxiliary arm part of the clamp. The fastening means includes a pin fitted to pass through through-holes of the arm part and the auxiliary arm part of the clamp and the end of the insulator and an elastic latching rod mounted on the pin and elastically curved to pass through each of the through-holes and to be restored in its original shape, thereby preventing the pin from being separated. The elastic latching rod is mounted on the pin and has the form of a coil spring where both ends of the elastic latching rod protrude from the pin.

Abstract: Provided is a fastening structure of a clamp for supporting a power line and an insulator, which includes a fastening means for preventing an end of the insulator from being separated from the clamp in a state in which the end of the insulator is disposed between an arm part and an auxiliary arm part of the clamp. The fastening means includes a cotter pin fitted to pass through through-holes of the arm part and the auxiliary arm part of the clamp and the end of the insulator and an elastic latching rod mounted on the cotter pin and elastically curved to pass through each of the through-holes and to be restored in its original shape, thereby preventing the cotter pin from being separated. The elastic latching rod is mounted on the cotter pin and has the form of a coil spring where both ends of the elastic latching rod protrude from the cotter pin. A dent groove corresponding to each of both the protruding ends of the elastic latching rod is formed in each of side surfaces of the cotter pin facing each other.

Abstract: In a reactor for solid ammonium salt, a method of controlling the reactor, and a NOx emission purification system using solid ammonium salt and selective catalytic reduction, the reactor includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber has an exhaust and a first heating element. Solid ammonium salt is in the first chamber. The second chamber has a second heating element and is formed at a side of the first chamber. The first chamber is connected with the second chamber. Solid ammonium salt is in the second chamber. An amount of the solid ammonium salt in the second chamber is more than that in the first chamber, so that the first chamber is heated and cooled faster than the second chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the performance of a determination of whether an earphone is mounted to a portable terminal, such as a portable terminal supporting a 3.5 mm earphone plug, are provided. An apparatus for recognizing whether the earphone is mounted to the portable terminal includes a common ground terminal and a switching terminal of an earphone plug receptacle for electrically connecting to each other and the same pole of an earphone plug when the earphone plug is mounted in the earphone plug receptacle, and an external output managing unit for generating an earphone mounting notification signal through a detector.

Abstract: A MultiBand-MultiMode (MBMM) wireless communication apparatus for performing seamless wireless communication by supporting Inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) handover between communication networks according to different access types is provided. The apparatus includes a first Radio Frequency (RF) unit accessing a first wireless network, a second RF unit accessing a second wireless network having a different access type than the first wireless network, an interface unit connected to a target electronic device, and a switching unit connected to both the first and second RF units. The switching unit connects at least one of the RF units to the interface unit for communicating with the target electronic device. The first RF unit selects one of the RF units according to a camping order of the RF units or according to signal receiving conditions of the RF units, and controls the switching unit to connect the selected RF unit to the interface unit.
