Abstract: A fermentation and aging apparatus may include a fermentation tank, into which a fermentation container may be put, an object to be fermented being accommodated in the fermentation container, a first channel connected with the fermentation tank and opened and closed by a first valve, a second channel connected with the fermentation tank and opened and closed by a second valve, a pressure sensor provided in the first channel, an air pump configured to supply air to the fermentation tank, and a controller configured to close the first valve and the second valve based on a beverage making start request, drive the air pump, and detect whether the fermentation container is put into the fermentation tank, based on a pressure measured by the pressure sensor.

Abstract: A water dispensing apparatus includes a hot water module configured to heat supplied water using an induction heating method, a water supply pipe configured to supply water to the hot water module, a flow rate control valve provided on the water supply pipe to control a flow rate of water supplied to the hot water module, a flow rate sensing device provided on the water supply pipe to sense the flow rate of water supplied to the hot water module, and a controller configured to increase an opening speed of the flow rate control valve when the flow rate of supplied water sensed through the flow rate sensing device is equal to or less than a set flow rate.

Abstract: A drum type washing machine is disclosed. An object of the present invention is to provide a drum type washing machine having a preventing member which can structurally prevent the laundry from coming between a tub and a drum. When the drum is stopped or rotated at a low speed, an end of the preventing member is in contact with a drum door or the tub. When the drum is rotated at a high speed, the preventing member is separated apart from the drum door or the tub by centrifugal force.

Abstract: A side curtain airbag of a vehicle comprising a gas pipe formed with a plurality of gas injection films that are detached or ruptured by gas generated from the deployment of an inflator is disclosed. The gas pipe is initially filled with gas having a predetermined pressure. When the inflator deploys and a high pressure gas is injected into the gas pipe, the high pressure gas causes the plurality of gas injection films to detach from the gas pipe or rupture. The gas is supplied to all sections of the curtain airbag, thus inflating the curtain airbag evenly. The deployment time of the curtain airbag is also reduced.
