A refrigerator including a main body having a storage compartment, a door rotatably provided on the main body to open and close the storage compartment, and an automatic water supply device. The automatic water supply device includes a water supply case, a bucket detachably mounted on the water supply case, and a water level sensor provided to detect a water level in the bucket, and is configured to supply water to the bucket depending on the water level in the bucket. The door includes a dyke protruding from a rear surface of the door to form an accommodation space in which the water supply case is accommodated, and the water supply case is coupled to the dyke.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator including a main body forming a storage compartment, and a door configured to open and close the storage compartment. The door includes a door body rotatably coupled to the main body and including an insulator therein, a panel body positioned in a front of the door body, a first trim disposed at a first edge of the panel body and configured to be coupled to the door body while being rotated with respect to the door body, and a second trim disposed at a second edge opposite to the first edge of the panel body and configured to be coupled to the door body when the first trim is coupled to the door body.

Refrigerator and home appliance

A refrigerator includes a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, switching valve, an ice-making device, a controller, and a first refrigerant pipe and a second refrigerant pipe connected between the condenser and the evaporator. The switching valve is configured to guide the refrigerant condensed in the condenser to the first refrigerant pipe or the second refrigerant pipe. The ice-making device allows the first refrigerant pipe to pass therethrough and is configured to cool water stored in an ice-making tray. The controller is configured to control the switching valve to guide the refrigerant to the ice-making device through the first refrigerant pipe. In response to a temperature of the ice-making tray falling to a level lower than or equal to a reference temperature, the controller is configured to control the switching valve to prevent the refrigerant from being guided to the first refrigerant pipe and supply water to the ice-making tray.

Refrigerator and method of controlling the same

A method for treating a skin lesion can include lowering a temperature of a treatment site to a temperature range sufficient to induce vasoconstriction in a dermis of the treatment site and administering a laser light through a medium to the skin lesion while maintaining the temperature of the treatment site within the temperature range. The medium can include a first portion and a second portion, where the laser light is transmitted through the first portion and the second portion sequentially, the second portion includes a contact surface for contacting the treatment site, and the second portion has a higher thermal conductivity than the first portion. The method can further include identifying the skin lesion and analyzing one or more characteristics of the skin lesion.

Laser treatment of skin lesions under dermal vasoconstriction

A refrigerator including a main body, a storage compartment provided in the main body and having an open front side, a storage box configured to be drawn out or put into the storage compartment and having a storage space therein, a cold air duct provided at the rear of the storage compartment and including a cold air outlet to allow cold air to be discharged into the storage space, a partition disposed in the storage box to divide the storage space into a fresh room and a vegetable room and to be movable in the left and right directions in the storage space, and a cold air adjusting member configured to be moved in the left and right directions together with the partition to adjust a size of the cold air outlet and to stay connected to the partition when the storage box is drawn out.

A home appliance includes a door sensor; a display; a main processor; a sub-processor configured to control a display operation of the display; and a power control element configured to be connected to the sub-processor, wherein the main processor is configured to: generate a control signal for turning on or off power of the sub-processor based on information sensed by the door sensor, and turn on or off the power of the sub-processor by controlling the power control element according to the control signal.
