Disclosed is a hydrogel discharge device including a capsule introduction unit, into which a plurality of capsules each receiving a hydrogel dosage form is introduced, a dosage form transfer unit including a plurality of channels, along which the hydrogel dosage forms received in the capsules move, a dosage form spray unit for discharging the hydrogel dosage forms supplied from the dosage form transfer unit, and a dosage form solidification unit for solidifying the hydrogel dosage forms discharged from the dosage form spray unit, whereby it is possible to easily and conveniently manufacture a mask pack.

Hydrogel discharge device

The present invention includes a body having a storage compartment defined therein, a door for opening and closing the storage compartment, a lifting member, which includes a handle and a first gear extending in a vertical direction and which is disposed at the door in a manner of being movable upward and downward, a second gear, which is disposed at the door so as to engage with the first gear, a third gear, which is disposed at the door so as to engage with the second gear, and a pushing member, which is disposed at the door so as to be movable in forward and rearward directions and which includes a fourth gear engaging with the third gear, the pushing member exerting external force on the body when the lifting member is lowered, thereby offering an advantage in that a user such as a child, who is short, can easily open the door.

Refrigerator

The present invention provides a refrigerator including a compressor for compressing refrigerant, a condenser in which the refrigerant, which has been compressed in the compressor, is condensed, an icemaker, a water supply tube, which supplies water to the icemaker and is in contact with at least one of the compressor and the condenser, an ice-making water supply valve installed in the water supply tube, a temperature sensor installed at the water supply tube, and a controller for controlling the ice-making water supply valve based on a temperature detected by the temperature sensor. Water having a temperature that is raised to a temperature range set in consideration of the Mpemba effect is supplied to the icemaker, thereby enabling rapid ice making.

Refrigerator and method of operating the same

A refrigerator includes an icemaker, an ice bank that is configured to store ice released from the icemaker, a weight sensor configured to measure a weight of the ice bank, and a controller configured to determine, based on weight measurements measured by the weight sensor, a variation in amount of ice stored in the ice bank during a set time period, and adjust an ice determination reference value based on the determined variation in the amount of ice stored in the ice bank during the set time period.

A refrigerator includes a movable body that is located in a case that defines a storage compartment. The refrigerator further includes a shelf that is connected to the movable body via a connection member. The refrigerator further includes a guard that is configured to surround an edge of the shelf, that is larger than the shelf, and that includes a protrusion member that protrudes toward the movable body. The movable body includes a guide rail that is configured to guide the protrusion member during sliding.

A refrigerator includes a rear shelf that is located in a case that defines a storage compartment with an open front. The refrigerator further includes a front shelf that is located closer to the open front of the storage compartment than the rear shelf. The refrigerator further includes a guard that is rotatably connected to the front shelf. The refrigerator further includes a front shelf lifting device that is configured to rotate the front shelf down about an axis at the rear shelf based on the guard moving up.

A user profile based configuration of user experience environment is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to a method for generating a user experience environment for a device. The method comprises accessing a user profile associated with a device in a computing network in response to a request by the device for initializing or refreshing a user experience environment of the device. In one example embodiment, the user profile comprises data and metadata defining a communal user experience environment shared by the device and one or more other devices through the computing network. The method further comprises determining a type of the device, and generating the user experience environment of the device based on the user profile and the type of the device.

User profile based configuration of user experience environment

Selective interaction between networked smart devices is disclosed. One embodiment of the present disclosure pertains to an apparatus for interacting with associated smart appliances via a network, where the apparatus comprises a memory; and a processor. The processor is configured to identify one or more associated smart appliances upon activation of a smart device in a network, where the smart device and the associated smart appliances are configured to communicate with each other for notification or for executing one or more commands. The processor is also configured to determine a mode of the smart device upon receiving data from the associated smart appliances, where the mode of the smart device is set through configuring a user experience environment of the smart device. The processor is further configured to selectively process the data from the associated smart appliances based on the mode of the smart device.

Selective interaction between networked smart devices
