Patents by Inventor Jae Yeong Yoo

Jae Yeong Yoo has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12062823
    Abstract: A method and a system for diagnosing a failure of a temperature sensor for a fuel cell are provided. The method includes calculating a heating value that is generated at a fuel cell stack during a predetermined diagnosis time and then calculating a temperature variation of the fuel cell stack from the calculated heating value. A failure of a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the fuel cell stack is then detected based on the calculated temperature variation of the fuel cell stack.

  • Patent number: 10756368
    Abstract: A fuel cell system includes: a fuel cell stack; a sensor configured to sense a current and a voltage of the fuel cell stack; and a controller configured to acquire weight information based on a relationship between a usage time of a fuel cell and the current or voltage of the fuel cell stack and to determine a humidity state of the fuel cell stack based on the weight information, the current of the fuel cell stack and the voltage of the fuel cell stack.

  • Patent number: 10532743
    Abstract: A method for controlling a motor torque in an electric vehicle, includes the steps of: (a) determining a driving condition of the vehicle; (b) determining whether or not a predetermined limiting condition for a creep torque increase rate is satisfied when it is determined that the vehicle is decelerating in step (a); and (c) limiting the creep torque increase rate when the limiting condition for a creep torque increase rate is satisfied, and applying a creep torque of which the increase rate has been limited.

  • Patent number: 10147960
    Abstract: A shut down system of a fuel cell vehicle includes: a fuel cell configured to output a high voltage; a rechargeable high voltage battery; a bidirectional converter arranged between an output terminal of the fuel cell and the high voltage battery; a first relay arranged between the fuel cell and the bidirectional converter; and a controller configured to control a voltage of the bidirectional converter when the fuel cell vehicle stalls to reduce a voltage of the output terminal of the fuel cell and turn off the first relay when a voltage value of the output terminal of the fuel cell is below a preset voltage reference value.
