Abstract: A liquid crystal display device may include a backlight unit for providing light for the display. A backlight unit may include light modules. The light modules include colored LEDs surrounded by a first lens for refracting the light from the LEDs. A second lens surrounds the first lens for further refraction of the light to improve brightness and the uniformity of the light.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an economic synthetic method of 2-deoxy-L-ribose with easy reaction, separation and purification. The present invention consists of four (4) steps including protection, activation of 3- and 4-OH groups, inversion and deprotection steps. In respect to the cost for equipment, reagent and operation, by the present invention, 2-deoxy-L-ribose can be produced more economically because the invention uses 2-deoxy-L-ribose which is abundant in nature and easily synthesized from D-glucose and adopt simple and yielding process.

Abstract: A drum type washing machine having a pump integrally formed with a filter. The drum type washing machine has a body, an outer tub disposed in the body for receiving a washing liquid therein, a drum formed at a side wall thereof with a plurality of discharging holes and disposed in the outer tub for receiving articles to be washed, a pump assembly which sprays the washing liquid onto the articles by circulating the washing liquid discharged from a lower portion of the outer tub to an upper portion of the outer tub, removes impurities from the washing liquid while a washing cycle is being carried out and drains the washing liquid out of the washing machine after the washing cycle is finished. The pump assembly has a pump, a filter installed at one side of the pump and a spraying nozzle assembly disposed above the drum.

Abstract: Multi-Cube puzzle for arranging edge lines marked on cubic elements in a pattern along the edges of the multi-cube puzzle. The multi-cube puzzle is comprised of a body assembly with a fabricated with the central core and body elements connected with screws, twelve side cubic elements inserted around the body assembly able to move around tracks formed by flanges extending from the body elements, six corner cubic elements and a dotted corner cubic element.

Abstract: A dishwashing machine is provided which comprises: a housing having a first washing compartment and a second washing compartment spatially separated from each other by a partition wall; first spray means for spraying the washing water onto the dishes within the first compartment; second spray means for spraying the washing water onto the dishes within the second compartment, the first and the second spray means operable independently of one another to permit selective washing of the dishes accommodated in the first and the second compartments; a drainpipe for allowing the washing water to be drained therethrough at the termination of an washing operation; and a multi-way valve, responsive to the particular mode of operation of the dishwashing machine for selectively coupling the pressurized washing water to the first spray means, the second spray means and the drain pipe.

Abstract: A novel multi-way valve is provided comprising an upper casing and a lower casing combined with the upper casing to form a fluid chamber therebetween, the lower casing having at least three outlet ports arranged in a predetermined angular spacing. A lower valve body is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the lower casing. The lower valve body has at least three passage holes coinciding with the corresponding outlet ports of the lower casing. An upper valve body comes into a fluid-tight, frictional contact with the lower valve body for rotational movement with respect thereto, the upper valve body having an arcuate slot which is selectively aligned with one or more of the passage holes of the lower valve body.
