Patent number: 11941923Abstract: An automation method of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic technology for equipment application includes receiving one or more pieces of data among vibration data, noise data, and controller area network (CAN) data, a data input processing operation of trimming the input data, an operation of extracting features from the trimmed data, setting a setting value of a hyper-parameter with respect to the one or more pieces of data thereamong, and generating a total of N models to include both of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) as N individual models and generating ensemble prediction model structures for the N individual models. As a parameter updating is being proceeded due to the hyper-parameter so as to minimize values of cost functions of the N individual models, a reward for model accuracy performance is optimized and the ensemble prediction model structures of the N individual models change.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignees: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATIONInventors: In-Soo Jung, Seung-Hyun Lee, Jae-Min Jin, Dong-Chul Lee

Patent number: 10710538Abstract: A seatbelt airbag for a vehicle is provided. The airbag is inflated in a seatbelt to restrain an occupant to reduce an injury to the occupant caused by the seatbelt. Particularly, since the airbag is locally inflated at occupant's shoulder and hip which are susceptible to injury by the seatbelt, an inflation speed is controlled, an impact is minimized, and the occupant may be restrained in the seat more rapidly and stably.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors CorporationInventors: Young Hwan Kim, Choong Sik Shin, Soo Chul Lee
