  • Publication number: 20230071079
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of controlling start/stop of a parallel fuel cell system, which, when controlling stop of a parallel fuel cell system in which two or more fuel cell systems are connected in parallel, considers operating state information of each fuel cell system, such as a current speed value of an air compressor and an opening degree of an air-exhaust-side air pressure valve of a fuel cell stack. Accordingly, the method can calculate a delay time for performing fuel cell system stop control for the two or more fuel cell systems, and sequentially perform the fuel cell system stop control for the two or more fuel cell systems based on the calculated delay time. Therefore, it is possible to minimize output delay of each fuel cell system and to achieve deterioration prevention and efficiency improvement of the fuel cell stack by fuel cell system start/stop control.

  • Patent number: 11140252
    Abstract: The flexible display device includes a body, a flexible display, and a camera. The body includes a first body and a second body. The second body performs reciprocating movement relative to the first body between a first position and a second position. An area of the flexible display viewed from the front is larger when the second body is at the second position than when the second body is at the first position. When the second body is at the first position, the distance from a support to an edge of a third region is greater than the distance from the support to the camera. Accordingly, a range (stroke) of movement of the second body relative to the first body can be increased. In addition, when the second body is at the second position, the area of the flexible display viewed from the front can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20210104968
    Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling a sensorless motor for an air compressor. The method controls early driving of a sensorless motor for an air compressor, overcomes related-art problems, and improves control response. A position of a rotor of the motor, finally estimated by a sensorless control logic at a point in time at which the motor is determined to be in the stopped state, is determined to be an alignment target position. An alignment start position is determined from the alignment target position in accordance with a predetermined alignment offset angle. The position of the rotor of the motor is controlled to change from the determined alignment start position to the alignment target position.
