Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for automatic parking based on recognition of a parking area environment. The method may include searching for an available parking space, determining whether reverse parking is possible by recognizing the environment of the available parking space, recognizing at least one additional vehicle located in the vicinity of the available parking space, and setting a parking destination based on the determination of whether reverse parking is possible and the result of recognition of the at least one additional vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus of tilting a seat cushion of a vehicle, includes a tilting motor, a pinion gear, a sector gear, and a tilting link which perform the tilting operation of the seat cushion and exert a binding force in a tilted state of the seat cushion and are provided to be connected to both of one side and the other side of a seat cushion frame, and has two sector gears positioned on left and right sides and connected to each other by a connection bar so that, by strengthening a binding force of the front portion of the seat cushion, it is possible to secure the safety of passengers in the event of a collision.

Abstract: A display panel includes a first substrate including a first base substrate, a second substrate and a filling pattern. The first base substrate includes a display area including a plurality of pixel areas for image display and a non-display area around the display area, and an align key pattern including an opaque material in a part of the non-display area. The second substrate includes a second base substrate overlapping the first base substrate and including a transparent material, a light blocking structure in the non-display area, and a hole overlapping the align key pattern and penetrating the light blocking structure. The filling pattern is configured to fill the hole.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved pitch modification method by glottal closure interval extrapolation. It is an object of the present invention to modify pitches of speech signals by the glottal closure interval extrapolation and to maintain quality of the modified speech, when concatenating original speech segments to synthesize speech. An input speech signal is converted into a digital speech signal. A glottal closure interval is detected in the digital speech signal so as to estimate vocal tract parameters by using pitch synchronous analysis. Vocal tract characteristic signals of the glottal closure interval and glottal characteristic signals of a glottal open interval are separated from each other according to the detected glottal closure interval. The separated vocal tract characteristic signals are extrapolated and reduced to a desired pitch length by the estimated vocal tract parameter.
