  • Publication number: 20220386418
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for controlling a heater wire of a rear window of a vehicle. To reduce a drag force acting on the vehicle by pushing positively charged air (containing dust) by a positive voltage induced in the heater wire, and prevent the dust from adsorbing on the rear window of the vehicle, the device includes a switch located on a connection line between an output terminal of the heater wire mounted on the rear window of the vehicle and a negative (?) terminal of a battery disposed in the vehicle, a booster for boosting a voltage output from a positive (+) terminal of the battery and supplying the boosted voltage to an input terminal of the heater wire, and a controller that controls the switch.

  • Patent number: 9689191
    Abstract: A power tailgate control device and method can prevent a collision with an obstacle during the opening or closing of a tailgate by determining whether an obstacle is present or not and whether the collision with the obstacle would occur or not by using a rear lamp and a rear camera. The power tailgate control device includes: a command input unit receiving a tailgate open or close command from an operator; a rear camera mounted on a tailgate; and a controller controlling the opening or closing of the tailgate by determining whether a collision with an obstacle would occur or not, on the basis of R values of pixels in a difference image between a first image captured in a state in which a rear lamp is turned on and a second image captured in a state in which the rear lamp is turned off.

  • Patent number: 7276918
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor and apparatus for measuring flow electric potential for evaluation of a degree of electrodeposition of paint applied to the body or chassis of a vehicle. The sensor includes a base plate part, a dielectric polymer member, a positive (+) electrode terminal and a negative (?) electrode terminal, and an insulation part. The base plate part is mounted on the outer and inner body or chassis of a vehicle, and is electrically connected to ground. The dielectric polymer member is patterned and formed on the base plate part. The positive (+) electrode terminal is connected to the dielectric polymer member and is configured to have a positive (+) polarity. The negative (?) electrode terminal is connected to the base plate part and is configured to have a negative (?) polarity. The insulation part is formed to insulate the positive (+) and negative (?) electrode terminals from each other.
