Abstract: Provided is a system for transporting articles that may transport a variety of articles and includes a transport robot implemented in a compact size.

Abstract: Provided are a fireproof door apparatus, a fireproof structure, and a substrate treating facility. The fireproof door apparatus includes a fireproof shutter opening and closing a passage connecting two spaces, a release unit installed on one side of the passage and in the fireproof shutter and fixing the fireproof shutter in an open state using magnetic force or releasing the fireproof shutter that is fixed, and a gas spring connected to the fireproof shutter and moving the fireproof shutter toward the passage by heat of the fire to close the passage.

Abstract: Provided is a fire protection apparatus and fire protection method capable of improving sealability of a sub-shutter device, the fire protection apparatus including a door frame mounted in a vertical passage between an upper floor and a lower floor of a building or in a horizontal passage between a first compartment and a second compartment of the building, a guide rail provided at a side of the door frame to guide a lift to pass through the vertical passage or to guide a carriage to pass through the horizontal passage, a main shutter device mounted on the door frame to open or close a main passage space between the door frame and the guide rail, and a sub-shutter device mounted on the main shutter device to close an internal space of the guide rail in association with the main shutter device when the main shutter device is closed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a drive method thereof. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel having a plurality of pixel areas to display an image, a data driver configured to drive data lines of the liquid crystal panel, a dimming controller configured to generate a dimming value via modulation using any one value within the range from an average gray-level value to a maximum gray-level value of image data input from an external source, and output the image data via modulation and control drive time of a backlight unit based on the dimming value, a timing controller configured to allow transmission of the image data modulated by the dimming controller to the data driver, and to control the data driver, and the backlight unit configured to emit light to the liquid crystal panel in response to a drive signal from the dimming controller.

Abstract: A method of designing arrangement of through silicon vias (TSVs) in a stacked semiconductor device is provided The method includes: determining a plurality of TSV candidate grids representing positions, into which the TSVs are insertable, in each of a plurality of semiconductor dies stacked mutually and included in a stacked semiconductor device; creating a plurality of path graphs representing linkable signal paths for a plurality of signals transmitted through the stacked semiconductor device, respectively, based on the TSV candidate grids; determining initial TSV insertion positions corresponding to shortest signal paths for the signals based on the path graphs; and determining final TSV insertion positions by verifying the initial TSV insertion positions so that a plurality of signal networks corresponding to the shortest signal paths for the signals have routability.
