Abstract: A vacuum cleaner having a discharge flow path, which reduces noise generated due to resistance of the flow path, and by a motor. The vacuum cleaner includes a body, a blower fan unit including a blower fan and a motor to generate suction force in the body, an inner case surrounding the blower fan unit and having an inner flow path formed therein, an outer case surrounding the inner case, and a discharge flow path formed between the inner case and the outer case to communicate with the inner flow path. The discharge flow path including a circulation flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide air discharged from the blower fan unit, and a bent flow path branched from the inner flow path to guide the air discharged from the blower fan unit, the air is thereby bent a number of times in the bent flow path.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner has a discharge flow path and a discharged-air filter optimally positioned to reduce noise. The vacuum cleaner includes a body, a dust collection unit positioned in the body to filter foreign matter, a blower fan unit including a blower fan and a motor to generate suction force, an air vent through which air drawn into the body is discharged, and a discharge flow path to guide the air discharged through a discharge port of the blower fan unit to the air vent. The discharge flow path comprises a space defined between the dust collection unit and the blower fan unit.

Abstract: A cyclonic cleaner which includes a cyclone unit enabling a reduction of noise generated from the cyclone unit, and reduction in pressure loss by forming a smooth air flow. The cyclone unit includes a body having an air inlet and an air outlet, a primary cyclone to primarily separate foreign matter from air drawn through the air inlet, a plurality of secondary cyclones to secondarily separate foreign matter from air discharged from the primary cyclone and to discharge the air having the foreign matter removed therefrom through discharge holes of the secondary cyclones, and a noise reduction member positioned in the discharge hole of each secondary cyclone to reduce noise. The cyclone unit also includes a guide plate to allow the air discharged through the discharge holes of the secondary cyclones to be smoothly discharged through the air outlet.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided with a mold for injection molding comprising a first mold having a concave first molding surface; and a second mold having a convex second molding surface, the second mold being arranged to be spaced from the first mold for a cavity to be defined between the first and second molding surfaces. At this time, the second mold includes a plurality of unit molds coupled with and disassembled from each other, and protrusions of a predetermined shape are formed on the second molding surface. Therefore, a hemispherical molded product can be easily removed from the mold when injection molding the molded product with protrusions of a predetermined shape formed on an inner surface thereof.

Abstract: Provided are an electronic nose sensor array which can easily measure and process a sample using a personal information terminal and can be mass-produced, a sensor system including the same, a method of manufacturing the electronic nose sensor array, and a analysis method using the electronic nose sensor system. The sensor array comprises a plurality of sensing films which are formed on a side of a polymer substrate and react to chemical species to be analyzed, thereby changing their electric resistances, and a plurality of sensing electrodes, each of which contacts both ends of each of the sensing films and senses a change of one of the electric resistances.

Abstract: Disclosed is an OCB mode LCD device. The OCB mode LCD device includes a liquid crystal cell interposed between substrates, which are rubbed in a predetermined direction, an upper phase delay film aligned above the liquid crystal cell, an upper circular polarizing plate aligned below the upper phase delay film, a lower phase delay film aligned symmetrically to the upper phase delay film, and a lower circular polarizing plate aligned symmetrically to the upper circular polarizing plate and including an optical axis perpendicular to that of the upper circular polarizing plate. The optical axis direction of the polarizing plate is the same as the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal cell, thereby compensating for the phase delay caused by the liquid crystal molecules having the bend structure and realizing the completely dark state while ensuring wide viewing angle characteristics.
