  • Patent number: 6860111
    Abstract: There are disclosed an automatic ice maker and its operating method. A pair of ice making chambers are longitudinally arranged to face each other across a cooling tube. A plurality of ice making compartments are defined in each ice making chamber. On the open side of the ice making chamber, water trays for opening/closing the ice making chamber are arranged in parallel to be laterally moved. The water tray is moved between an ice making position for closing the ice making chamber and an open position for opening the ice making chamber by an opening/closing device. When a deicing operation is carried out, the water tray is laterally moved to the open position while ice cubes are frozen thereto to remove the ice cubes from the ice making compartments, and the cubes are deiced from the water tray in this open position.

  • Patent number: 4060696
    Abstract: A binaural four-channel stereophony comprises at least two dummy heads each provided with microphones at the ears of the dummy to pick up signals from various sound sources or groups of sound sources. The binaural signals representing each sound source or a group of sound sources are coupled to an acoustic crosstalk cancellation circuit and eventually applied to two front or two rear loudspeakers. Each sound source or group of sound sources is localized between adjacent ones of the four speakers to simulate the binaural effect produced in a closed-circuit type binaural sound reproducing system.
