Abstract: A device for removing foreign matter in an ice maker is configured to prevent foreign matter from accumulating on the bottom of a float by changing the structure of the bottom of the float. The device includes a level sensor sensing a water level using a float moving up and down, depending on a height of water supplied in a water tank and a connection pipe forming a channel for water flow between the water pump and the level sensor by being connected to the level sensor, and having an inclined surface inclined downward toward an entrance of the channel under the float.

Abstract: A wireless power transmission apparatus includes patch antennas which form an RF wave; a memory storing electromagnetic wave distribution maps corresponding to transmission conditions for transmitting the RF wave; and a processor configured to determine a position of an electronic device and a position of a living body, determine a transmission condition which transmits the RF wave which causes an electromagnetic wave having a size not exceeding a first threshold value to be applied to a position of the living body while being beam-formed at a position of the electronic device, using at least a portion of the electromagnetic wave distribution maps, and generate the RF wave with the determined transmission condition using the patch antennas, each electromagnetic wave distribution map indicating the size of electromagnetic waves at one or more points around the wireless power transmission apparatus when the RF wave is formed by each of the transmission conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a metal matrix composite in which oxide nanoparticles are dispersed. Metal matrix composite powders in which oxide nanoparticles are dispersed are prepared. Gibbs free energy of the oxide nanoparticles is greater than that of an oxide of a metal matrix. A bulk processed material is manufactured from the composite powders through hot forming or a cast material is manufactured by inputting the composite powder into a molten base metal and then rapidly stirring a resultant mixture. The bulk processed material or the cast material is heat-treated so that atoms of the metal matrix and atoms of the oxide nanoparticles mutually diffuse. Oxygen atoms originating from the oxide nanoparticles are diffused and dispersed in the metal matrix.
