Robot Vacuum Cleaner

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1808E04] LG Electronics has recently released its robot vacuum cleaner ‘Code Zero R9 ThinQ (Model name: R958DA•R958RA)’. It is a full-change model that replaced the hardware in three years after launching the Robo King Series in 2015. Until launching of Code Zero R9, LG has improved functions of the software like deep learning algorithm based on the same hardware.
For the new product, LG Electronics enhanced the running performance by using its unique artificial intelligence platform ‘Deep ThinQ’ while strengthening the hardware sensing technology. In addition, LG has improved the cleaning performance by installing the inverter motor that had been mounted on its living appliances in the robot vacuum cleaner.
The 3D Dual Eye mounted on Code Zero R9 ThinQ has a 3D Viewer and 3D Sensor installed that recognize objects and spaces within a range of up to 160 degrees.
Artificial intelligence technology has boosted the cognitive power and judgement of the product. With ‘the Artificial Intelligence Smart Turbo,’ the robot vacuum cleaner identifies places having a lot of dust by itself and enhances the suction power. Depending on the situation, it automatically controls the brush and running speed. It also supports ‘the Artificial Intelligence My Zone’ that selects and cleans the necessary places.
Another feature to have been applied is the Smart Inverter Motor P9 that was adopted in Code Zero A9. The product provides cleaning time up to 90 minutes and features improved cleaning performance through application of a high-performance motor. It retained suction power by adopting the ‘Dual Turbo Cyclone.’
In addition, the ‘Five-stage fine dust blocking system’ was applied to prevent dust from being discharged, blocking 99.9% of ultrafine dust up to PM 2.5. This product is the world’s first robotic vacuum cleaner that was certified by the German International Accredited Testing Institute (SLG) and the British Allergy Foundation (BAF) respectively for blocking fine dust and removing allergenic substances.
Besides, this product offers a ‘Home View’ function monitoring the inside of the house in real time or controlling the product remotely with a smartphone; and a ‘Home Guard’ function detecting any movement and transmitting photos to the smartphone. Sound can be controlled by the smartphone-specific app or artificial intelligence speaker. In addition, it features ‘anti-tangle’ technology, preventing hairs and animal hairs from getting tangled.
This new product comes in two colors of dark silver and bohemian red, and its shipment price is KRW1.49 million.
Mr. Ryu Jae-cheol, Vice Executive President of the Living Appliance Business Department of H&A Division, explained, “Code Zero R9 ThinQ satisfies all the standards of the premium robot vacuum cleaner required by customers, and only the differentiated core technology of LG has created a genuine value of the premium product.”

Stainless and Thermal Cameras

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1808E03] Stainless cameras, from Hanwha Techwin, made with stainless steel are highly resistant to corrosion and acid, even against the high salinity of seawater and humid weather, which makes them ideal for installation on vessels such as boats or yachts. Additionally, their waterproof certification allows them to be useful in surroundings that are easily exposed to water such as vessels, harbors, ports or beaches.
Hanwha Techwin’s thermal cameras ensure precise monitoring of surrounding environments even in the middle of the dark ocean through infrared light to detect radiant heat. Due to little or no lighting at sea during nighttime, accidents can occur such as vessel collisions with floating matter. Thermal cameras greatly reduce the risk of such accidents by detecting objects invisible to the human eye through subject identification via heat detection.

Two Flateye Cameras

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1808E02] Many countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, suffer from monsoon. Moisture from heavy rain also often poses an obstacle to CCTV, because the dome cover of certain cameras gets wet and foggy, which hinders clear monitoring.
To resolve this problem, global security company Hanwha Techwin has released two flateye cameras (QNE-6080RV(W) and QNE-7080RV(W)) that provide clear monitoring even against the humidity of the monsoon season. The main feature of the new models is the absence of the dome-shaped transparent cover surrounding the surveillance camera.
2 Megapixel QNE-6080RV(W) and 4 Megapixel QNE- 7080RV(W) each have a window cover with a flat surface applied to the front of the lens instead of the dome cover. Removal of the cover resolves the problem of narrowing views due to humidity and ensures clear vision even amid heavy downpour during monsoon. It also mitigates the issue of obstructed viewing due to contamination or scratches on the dome cover.
In addition, the application of a 3.1x (3.2~10mm) electric varifocal lens allows viewing angles to be freely adjusted. An application for optimal viewing angles is thus available for each location to allow broader and more precise monitoring. And thanks to the infrared (IR) light function, the cameras are also highly effective even at night to recognize objects up to 30 meters away.
These cameras also support a variety of intelligent video analytic functions of Hanwha Techwin. Defocus detection notifies the user if the camera is out of focus due to external vibration, and the defogging function corrects the image if the screen is blurry due to fog or smog. When subject identification is impossible due to the darkening of the backlight, the wide dynamic range (WDR) function corrects the image to enable bright and clear object identification.
The removal of the dome means quicker installation since attachment-detachment process can now be eliminated. And the efficient adjustment of monitoring direction even in a fixed state means significantly better management and operation of both cameras.
A source at Hanwha Techwin said, “Intelligent technology for CCTV is important but since these cameras were initially installed for security, it is critical that environmental factors do not disturb the original monitoring function. The key is the extent of clear monitoring possible based on strong durability even in extreme climates with extra high humidity,” adding, “Hanwha Techwin will continue raising its technical capacity to make its products durable under extreme conditions.”

Micromini Aspheric Lenses

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1806E04] JTway (President & CEO: Ji-hwan Park), a company specializing in lenses, has localized the micromini aspheric lens. JTway recently announced that, with the support of optical design and analysis technology from the Korea Photonics Technology Institute, they had developed a microscopic aspheric lens with a diameter of 1mm and established a mass-production system capable of producing more than 400,000 pieces per month by introducing a special automation robot.
Aspheric lens is a key component for enhancing performance of the optical modules such as cameras, closed circuit (CC) TV, laser, etc. As micro aspheric lenses with a diameter of 1 mm were difficult to manufacture due to the high defect rate, mainly Japanese products were imported and used up till now. The micromini aspheric lenses now developed by JTway are cheaper by 10% or more than the existing Japanese products, and they are supplied as components for network servers, optical communications, and light emitting diodes (LEDs).
The company recently started joint development and production of aspheric lenses for LED with a Japanese enterprise of middle standing and plans to pursue exports to the USA, Japan, China and Taiwan by setting up agencies in those countries..
President & CEO Ji-hwan Park said, “The aspheric lens localized this time has better performance than Japanese products, so it is definitely getting a good response from customers. We plan to achieve turnover of KRW3 billion this year, which is more than twice as much as that of last year, by striving for quality control and delivery management.”
