Abstract: A multilayer electronic component includes a body including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode alternately disposed with the dielectric layer, and an external electrode disposed on the body. A ceramic layer is disposed between the dielectric layer and the internal electrode. When an area ratio occupied by pores with respect to the ceramic layer is Sp1 and an area ratio occupied by pores with respect to the dielectric layer is Sp2, Sp1 is less than 5%, and Sp1<Sp2 is satisfied.

Abstract: A multilayer electronic component includes a body including a capacitance formation portion including dielectric layers and internal electrodes alternately disposed in a first direction, and a cover portion disposed on both end surfaces of the capacitance formation portion, facing each other in the first direction, and having a first surface and a second surface opposing each other in the first direction, a third surface and a fourth surface connected to the first and second surfaces and opposing each other in a second direction, and a fifth surface and a sixth surface connected to the first to fourth surfaces and opposing each other in a third direction, and external electrodes disposed on the third and fourth surfaces. The internal electrodes and the dielectric layers protrude more outwardly than the cover portion in the second direction, and a groove is disposed at an end of the dielectric layer in the second direction.

Abstract: A capacitor component includes a body, including a dielectric layer and an internal electrode layer, and an external electrode disposed on the body and connected to the internal electrode layer. At least one hole is formed in the internal electrode layer, and a region, containing at least one selected from the group consisting of indium (In) and tin (Sn), is disposed in the hole. A method of manufacturing a capacitor component includes forming a dielectric green sheet, forming a conductive thin film, including a first conductive material and a second conductive material, on the dielectric green sheet, and sintering the conductive thin film to form an internal electrode layer. The internal electrode layer includes the first conductive material, and a region, including the second conductive material, is formed in the internal electrode layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a multi-air conditioner and a group-unit control method thereof, wherein a plurality of indoor units can be controlled on a group basis. The method comprises the step of grouping the indoor units into a plurality of groups, the step of if an air conditioning operation condition of a specific one of the indoor units is changed, sending, by the specific indoor unit, the changed operation condition to all the other indoor units according to a predefined communication protocol, and the step of by each of the indoor units, receiving an air conditioning operation condition sent from a different one of the indoor units in the same group and performing an air conditioning operation based on the received operation condition. According to the invention, the plurality of indoor units can be more efficiently controlled on a group basis through inter-indoor unit data communication. Further, the group-unit control is not restricted by whether a controller is used or not.

Abstract: A refrigerant bypassing and filtering apparatus of an air conditioner is disclosed which is capable of effectively removing foreign matter such as slag produced in a refrigerant line, not only when the air conditioner is initially operated, but also during normal operation of the air conditioner. The apparatus includes at least one bypass line adapted to guide a refrigerant to bypass a main line through which the refrigerant flows between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, a strainer arranged at the bypass line, a first valve arranged at the main line between opposite ends of the bypass line connected to the main line, and second valves arranged at the bypass line.

Abstract: Disclosed is an outdoor-unit software upgrade system and method. The outdoor-unit software upgrade system includes: a software upgrade application which is an application program installed in a computer terminal and transmits outdoor-unit upgrade software, which is stored in a storage unit and selected by a user, to a data output port; a first wireless communication unit which is coupled with the data output port, packtizes and wirelessly transmits the outdoor-unit upgrade software data outputted from the data output port; and a second wireless communication unit which receives packet data from the first wireless communication unit set to be connected to the second wireless communication unit, converts the packet data into the outdoor-unit upgrade software data, and transmits the outdoor-unit upgrade software data to a controller mounted on a main board of an outdoor unit.
