  • Publication number: 20190199121
    Abstract: A method for distributing power using multiple power sources is performed by a control device electrically connected to multiple rechargeable power units and a load. The control device creates an output power reference table according to multiple power setting values, output power ranges and battery efficiencies of the multiple rechargeable power units. The output power reference table includes the power setting values and power distribution information corresponding to the power setting values. When receiving a consumed power value of the load, the control device selects corresponding power setting value and power distribution information in the output power reference table and controls the multiple rechargeable power units to simultaneously output power to the load according to the power distribution information. By referring to the output power values of all the rechargeable power units and allocating power outputted from all the rechargeable power units, power utilization efficiency can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 10252694
    Abstract: Adaptive seatbelt systems and methods are provided for adjusting the position of a seatbelt relative to an occupant. An adaptive seatbelt system for a vehicle includes a seat. A belt is configured to restrain an occupant in the seat. An anchor point along the belt is provided at an elevated position. An actuator raises or lowers the anchor point relative to the seat. A controller receives an input signal containing occupant identifying information and biometric data corresponding to occupant identification data. A processor compares the occupant identifying information to occupant identification data to verify an occupant's identity. The processor may determine an optimal comfort height or an optimal restraint height for the third anchor point based on the biometric data. The actuator adjusts the anchor point to the optimal comfort height or to the optimal restraint height in response to signals from the processor.
