  • Patent number: 11731649
    Abstract: A high precision position estimation method through a road shape classification-based map matching implemented by a high precision position estimation system of an autonomous vehicle includes classifying a road into a straight lane, a curved lane, and a clothoid curve lane by the lane matching between a sensor lane segment and a map lane segment, generating a movement amount value calculated by applying a geometric feature-based map matching or an optimization-based map matching to the classified lane as a covariance matrix, and calculating the latitude, longitude, and traveling direction of a vehicle to be estimated by combining the covariance matrix with sensor measurement values of a vehicle speed and a yaw rate by an extended Kalman filter.

  • Patent number: 10166857
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a two-way motion type active air flap system of a vehicle, which includes first, second, and third air flaps configured by a combination of a row array of air flaps and a column array of air flaps. The column array of air flaps is opened forward in a revolving manner by the rotational force of a flap rotary actuator, and the row array of air flaps is opened laterally in a sliding by the rotational force of a flap sliding actuator, so that the first, second, and third air flaps control a blast space through which external air passes. Thus, since the front opening and the lateral opening of the air flaps are performed independently, it is possible to fundamentally prevent an adverse effect of causing overcooling and deteriorating aerodynamic performance.

  • Patent number: 9613811
    Abstract: A first protective layer, a mask layer, a second protective layer and a photoresist layer are sequentially formed on a substrate. A photoresist pattern is formed by partially removing the photoresist layer. An ion implantation mask is formed by sequentially etching the second protective layer, the mask layer and the first protective layer using the photoresist pattern. The ion implantation mask exposes the substrate. Impurities are implanted in an upper portion of the substrate exposed by the ion implantation mask.
