  • Patent number: 11926310
    Abstract: Controlling a speed limit includes determining a virtual vehicle speed as being a lower one of a vehicle speed and a target limit speed, determining a virtual APS value as being a larger one of a first APS value and a second APS value, transitioning to a second mode at a point in time at which an actual APS value and the second APS value become different, when it is expected to transition to the second mode, among a first mode for sustaining a SOC of a battery at the target limit speed and the second mode for depleting the SOC, and determining a transmission gear position by applying the determined virtual vehicle speed and the determined virtual APS value to one of a first shifting pattern and a second shifting pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240067079
    Abstract: A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.

  • Patent number: 11912168
    Abstract: An apparatus and method control regenerative braking torque of an electric vehicle on which an anti-lock brake system (ABS) is mounted. The apparatus and method can compensate the regenerative braking torque of the driving motor based on the behavior model of the electric vehicle, such that the ABS is prevented from entering an operating range to the maximum limit to maximize the energy recovery rate through regenerative braking. The apparatus includes a disturbance extractor that extracts a disturbance in a specific frequency band from a difference between a behavior model and an actual behavior of the electric vehicle. The apparatus includes a torque compensator that compensates for the regenerative braking torque based on the disturbance extracted by the disturbance extractor.

  • Publication number: 20240058201
    Abstract: A seat massage system includes a substrate; a driving assembly, a power delivery assembly; a rail base including a guide groove provided on an internal surface, the guide groove including a first portion close to the substrate and a second portion farther from the substrate; a moving base provided on the corresponding one rail base, receiving driving force from a corresponding power delivery assembly, provided with a guide member, and sliding along the guide groove; and a massage head member provided at a front end of the moving base, where the power delivery assembly drives the corresponding moving base to rotate relative to the rail base by the driving of the drive assembly, and at the same time causes the moving base to linearly move in forward and rearward direction through coupling of the guide member and the guide groove, and controls to control the moving base to stop at a predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 10752141
    Abstract: A bi-directional blower includes a blower body for guiding for air to flow along an entire circumference scroll shape of an inner space of the blower body. The blower body divides the inner space into an upward space and a downward space to guide air flow. The blower body comprises: an upper discharge case discharging the air flow along the entire circumference scroll shape toward the upward space through an upper discharge port; and a lower discharge case discharging the air flow along the entire circumference scroll shape toward the downward space through a lower discharge port.

  • Patent number: 10336223
    Abstract: A ventilation seat for a vehicle is provided. The ventilation seat is configured such that a through channel to directly discharge air is formed in a seat pad so that air supplied from an air supply unit is discharged over the seat pad through the through channel, whereby the through channel or the like can be prevented from becoming narrow or being blocked due to the weight of an occupant, resulting in increased or maximize air discharge rate.
