  • Patent number: 10056629
    Abstract: A method for adjusting an output of a fuel cell system is capable of estimating a dry state of a fuel cell vehicle by comparing air flow rates, and adjusting a maximum output applicable to the fuel cell vehicle, thus enabling the fuel cell vehicle to be stably driven. The method for adjusting the output of the fuel cell system includes comparing an air flow rate required for driving and an actually introduced air flow rate to calculate an average air flow rate, and calculating an available output of the vehicle using preset mapping data with respect to the average air flow rate.

  • Publication number: 20170059911
    Abstract: A display substrate has first and second conductive layers separated from one another by an insulation layer. The first and second conductive layers are used to integrally form on the display substrate, pixel units in a relatively central display area of the substrate and integrated gate driving circuitry as well as associated wirings thereof in one or more peripheral areas. The first and second conductive layers are covered by a first protection layer made of a first electrically insulative material. A second and supplementing protection layer is provided on top of the first protection layer. The supplementing protection layer (buffer layer) is formed of a material different from that of the first protection layer so as to provide supplemental resistance against corrosive chemical agents and supplemental resistance against formation of cracks.

  • Patent number: 9343030
    Abstract: A gate driving circuit includes N stages (where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2). The N stages are cascaded, and each of the N stages has a gate line connected thereto. A first stage group includes k stages of the N stages (where k is a natural number less than N), and the first stage group outputs a first output signal in response to a start signal. A second stage group (including N?k stages) generates a second output signal in response to the first output signal and outputs the second output signal to a corresponding gate line. The first stage group includes a first buffer and a second buffer, each of which receives the start signal. A size of the first buffer is smaller than a size of the second buffer.
