  • Patent number: 11096668
    Abstract: An ultrasound apparatus includes a touch screen configured to display, on an ultrasound image, a touch recognition region of an object used as a measurement mark; and a controller configured to move the object and the touch recognition region, in response to an input for touching and dragging the touch recognition region, to detect, from a portion of the ultrasound image which corresponds to the touch recognition region, a line formed by connecting points at which a brightness variation of a pixel is greater than a threshold value, and to move the object to a position of the detected line by using coordinates of the detected line.

  • Patent number: 7028582
    Abstract: The dual mass flywheel includes a first mass member connected to an engine output shaft. A second mass member is connected to a transmission input shaft. The second mass member is able to undergo rotation with respect to the first mass member within a predetermined range of motion. A drive plate is fixedly connected to the second mass member. A dampening assembly is interposed between the first mass member and the drive plate. The dampening assembly uses air dampening to perform a dampening operation during a process of transmitting torque.
