  • Publication number: 20240109595
    Abstract: A frame structure for a vehicle includes: an inner panel connected to a side member and defining an inner side of a rear part of the side member; an outer panel connected to a rear side of the side member and coupled to an outer side of the inner panel defining a closed cross-section together with the inner panel and defining an outer side of the rear part of the side member; an opening portion formed below the inner and outer panels partially opening the closed cross-section so that a front end of a rear suspension arm can be inserted into the opening portion; and a reinforcing member disposed in the opening portion defining the closed cross-section together with the outer panel and the inner panel and configured to close an internal space in the outer and inner panels.

  • Publication number: 20150047376
    Abstract: A method for controlling an operation of a refrigerator includes circulating and/or supplying a refrigerant to a refrigeration chamber evaporator and a freezer chamber evaporator, determining whether to stop an operation of the compressor a predetermined time from or after an initial driving point in circulating and/or supplying the refrigerant; opening a refrigeration chamber switching valve, a freezer chamber switching valve and/or a refrigerant flow path valve, and subsequently closing the valve(s) when it is determined that the compressor should be stopped; and stopping the compressor after opening the refrigeration chamber switching valve, the freezer chamber switching valve and/or the refrigerant flow path valve.

  • Publication number: 20140157805
    Abstract: A refrigerator having a dew prevention and/or control device and a method for preventing the formation of dew in and/or on the refrigerator includes a compressor adapted to compress a refrigerant, a condenser adapted to condense the refrigerant from the compressor, an evaporator adapted to cool air existing therearound by evaporating the refrigerant that passes through the condenser, a pipe between the condenser and the evaporator, configured to pass through the refrigerator body, humidity sensors and/or detectors configured to determine a humidity around the refrigerator, and a controller adapted to vary rotational speed of the fan in accordance with the humidity determined by the humidity sensors and/or detectors, thereby efficiently preventing the formation of dew on or in the refrigerator.
