  • Publication number: 20250340252
    Abstract: In a diffuser apparatus, a plurality of diffusers are retracted in a lower part of a rear bumper and is deployed, and the operation of each of the diffusers is divided into a tilting operation and a sliding operation, so that airflow control is optimized for various situations such as driving conditions and driving environment, thereby improving driving stability and aerodynamic performance. In addition, the operation of the plurality of diffusers is controlled by a single driver, thereby simplifying the structure.

  • Patent number: 9783247
    Abstract: An aerodynamic control system for vehicles may improve aerodynamic performance of a vehicle and enhance fuel efficiency and driving stability of the vehicle. The aerodynamic control system includes a diffuser combined with a rear bumper at an ascending position so as to constitute part of a bumper surface of the rear bumper and separated from the rear bumper at a descending position so as to pass air exhausted from a lower part of the vehicle to a rear part of the vehicle along upper and lower surfaces of the diffuser, and a diffuser driving unit that connects a vehicle frame panel in a front of the rear bumper to the diffuser, supporting the diffuser on the vehicle frame panel, and adjusting upward and downward movement of the diffuser and the angle of the diffuser.

  • Patent number: 8622024
    Abstract: In a sea cucumber cultivator, sea cucumber cultivation baskets are arranged in multiple layers within a housing to protect the sea cucumbers from the external environment, to enable mass production and easy management of sea cucumbers. An inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are arranged to adjust the inflow and outflow of seawater to and from the housing. Each hose outlet is formed at a center region of a lower surface of a bottom of each sea cucumber cultivation basket in each layer so as to supply food for sea cucumbers to the cultivating spaces formed in the cucumber cultivation baskets arranged in multiple layers. Thus, food is discharged through the hose outlets and settles in the baskets to feed sea cucumbers and to enable sea cucumbers to easily intake food.
