Abstract: A vehicle system includes: a battery; a display; an input; and a processor configured to display a user interface for setting a distance-to-empty (DTE) value after charging or a charge time on the display, to receive a user input for setting a distance-to-empty (DTE) value after charging or for setting a charge time through the user interface, and to charge the battery according to the set DTE after charging or charge time.

Abstract: A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle are provided. In particular, the vehicle includes an imaging device that is configured to acquire an image of a cargo loaded onto the vehicle and a display unit that is configured to display the image of the cargo acquired by the imaging device. Additionally, a processor is then configured to calculate a height of the cargo when the cargo displayed on the display unit is selected, and calculate a total height that is a sum of the height of the cargo and a height of the vehicle. Accordingly, the processor determines whether the vehicle is capable of safely passing through a detected height limit facility without the risk of a potential collision with the cargo.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes: a battery; an input; and a processor configured to receive a user input setting a navigation destination through the input, to retrieve one or more first paths from a current location to the navigation destination, to retrieve charging stations which are able to arrive with a current drivable distance when the current drivable distance is smaller than a driving distance up to the navigation destination, to retrieve one or more second paths passing through the charging stations, to calculate a time taken to arrive at the navigation destination for each of the one or more second paths, and to select one path of the one or more second paths based on the time taken to arrive at the navigation destination.

Abstract: A charging device for a vehicle includes: a charge port connected to a charge cable and accessible from the outside of the vehicle; a locking device locking the charge cable to the charge port; a battery configured to be charged by electric power supplied from the charge cable; a button including an icon that is turned on according to a lock setting state and accessible from the outside of the vehicle; and a processor configured to change a lock setting state of the charge cable and the charge port according to a user input received through the button, turn on or turn off the icon included in the button according to the lock setting state, and control locking of the locking device according to the lock setting state.

The microwave antenna to create the plasma of present invention comprises the waveguide, main body of antenna and the coaxial structure connecting part which connects said waveguide and said main body of antenna electrically, the main body of antenna comprises the conductive block in donut shape forming multiple slots, and notches are formed between the multiple slots of the conductive block and multiple permanent magnets are inserted into the notches. The multiple slots can be formed by passing through the inside and outside of the conductive block and the multiple slots can be formed with repetitive square wave pattern.

Abstract: An apparatus for obtaining biometric information of driver is provided. The apparatus includes a first biometric-signal-sensing unit that is installed in the steering wheel of an automobile and senses a driver's biometric signal therefrom. Additionally, a second biometric-signal-sensing unit is installed in the driver's seat of the automobile and also simultaneously senses a driver's biometric signal. As a means of control, a controller obtains biometric information selectively using biometric signals which satisfy a preset condition in obtaining biometric information based on biometric signals sensed by the first biometric-signal-sensing unit and biometric signals sensed by the second biometric-signal-sensing unit.
