Disclosed is a motor and a drain pump including the same. The motor includes a rotor, a rotation shaft positioned through a center of the rotor, and a shaft fixing member for supporting the rotor and the rotation shaft, in which the shaft fixing member and the rotor include a fixing device provided in a direction that intersects a rotation direction of the rotation shaft to prevent the rotation shaft from being idle.

A cooking appliance includes a cabinet that defines a cooking chamber. A magnetron is mounted within the cabinet and is in communication with the cooking chamber to direct a microwave thereto. An induction heating coil is mounted within the cabinet and is in communication with the cooking chamber to direct a magnetic field thereto. A turntable is rotatably mounted in the cooking chamber above the induction heating coil. A motor is operatively coupled to the turntable and is mounted within the cabinet outside of the cooking chamber below and adjacent to the induction heating coil. The motor is operatively coupled to the turntable by a non-magnetic rotation hub extending through the induction heating coil.

A method may include receiving a menu set selection including a plurality of predetermined dish options at a registered user device and transmitting the menu set selection to an unregistered user device. The method may further include receiving a recipe selection of one or more of the plurality of predetermined dish options from the unregistered user device and directing a cooking operation at the cooking appliance based on the received recipe selection.

Cooking menu communication and methods of operating a cooking appliance

A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a magnetron, an induction heating coil, and a one-way field filter. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber. The magnetron may be mounted within the cabinet in communication with the cooking chamber to direct a microwave thereto. The induction heating coil may be mounted within the cabinet to direct a magnetic field thereto. The one-way field filter may be disposed within the cabinet between the induction heating coil and the cooking chamber to restrict passage of the microwave therethrough while permitting the magnetic field. The one-way filter may include a lower layer and an upper layer. The lower layer may include a plurality of parallel conductive bands extending in a first direction. The upper layer may be disposed above the lower layer. The upper layer may include a plurality of parallel conductive bands extending in the second direction.

A drain pump includes an impeller, a rotor configured to rotate the impeller, a stator, a first housing that defines a rotor accommodating portion, a second housing that is coupled to the first housing and that defines together with the first housing a motor accommodating space that accommodates the stator, a connector that extends from the stator and that has a contact surface configured to connect to a power source and exposed to an outside of the motor accommodating space through at least one of the first housing or the second housing, and a connector cover portion that is located at at least one of the first housing or the second housing to cover the connector and that has at least one side surface opened to expose the contact surface of the connector to the outside of the motor accommodating space.

Drain pump

A super-resolved optical imaging apparatus and a super-resolved optical imaging method using the apparatus are disclosed. The optical imaging apparatus can includes: a light source unit configured to supply an incident beam; a nano-pattern chip having a plurality of nanostructures; a light adjustment system configured to change an incidence property of the incident beam in at least one of a horizontal direction and a depth direction such that surface plasmon resonance occurs in a localized area of the plurality of nanostructures; and an image detection unit configured to extract fluorescence signals generated by the surface plasmon resonance from a specimen positioned in the localized area and convert the fluorescence signals into an image.
