Abstract: A driving control apparatus includes a sensor device, a memory, and a controller. The driving control apparatus identifies at least one of a driving situation of an ego vehicle, driving information of the ego vehicle, or any combination thereof, using the sensor device; performs coasting control of the ego vehicle based on a first driving mode, when the at least one of the driving situation, the driving information, or the any combination thereof meets a specified condition; identifies risk information including at least one of at least one time to collision (TTC), a timegap with a forward vehicle, a relative speed to the forward vehicle, or any combination thereof; and determines whether to switch a driving mode to a second driving mode or a third driving mode including braking control, based on the result of comparing the risk information with a threshold.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for controlling a vehicle. The device includes a memory and a controller. For example, the device identifies at least one score in association with a travel state of a host vehicle, identifies a final score using the at least one score and at least one weight respectively corresponding to the at least one score, generates a braking control signal based on the final score, and performs braking control for the host vehicle based on the braking control signal.

Abstract: A device for controlling autonomous driving is introduced. A device may comprise a sensor, a memory storing instructions, and a controller operatively connected to the sensor and the memory, wherein the instructions, when executed by the controller, may cause the device to detect, based on the sensor, information associated with at least one of a first vehicle or a second vehicle, determine at least one of whether a distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle satisfies a distance condition, or whether a travel speed of the first vehicle satisfies a speed condition; and control the first vehicle based on at least some of the information and neither the distance condition nor the speed condition being satisfied, by causing a first deceleration, or based on at least one of the distance condition or the speed condition being satisfied, by causing a second deceleration greater than the first deceleration.

Abstract: A method and device of measuring a water level of a frequency analysis type is disclosed. The device is consisted of a pipe type of which immersed length is in a proportion to the water level and which is installed in a container having a fluid, a signal detecting device which has an impact apparatus to provide a source signal periodically or continuously and a impact detecting sensor(s) which gets a response signal of the pipe by the impact apparatus, and a signal analyzer which processes the signal from the impact detecting sensor. The method comprises steps of: generating a source signal to the pipe by the impact apparatus; detecting the response signal of the pipe according the water level by the impact detecting sensor; analyzing the response signal to the frequency response spectra by the signal analyzer; and measuring the water level by comparing to the predetermined frequencies which was obtained by the signal analyzer.

Abstract: A nuclear containment arrangement has a permanent pool cavity seal extending across an annular gap between a reactor pressure vessel and a refueling pool wall to provide a water tight seal therebetween. A seal plate has a support ring with a cylindrical section weldedly connected to an outer seal ring on an embedded ring. A J-shaped flexible ring attached to the seal plate allows axial and radial movement of the reactor vessel during thermal expansion and contraction. The inner portion of the seal plate overhangs the J-shaped flexible ring thereby to protect it from damage resulting from an object dropped thereon. Cooperating access holes and access hole covers in the seal plate provide access to the refueling pool cavity. Support arms underneath the seal plate are provided. Each support arm may have leveling screws to adjust the level of the seal plate.
