  • Patent number: 11702032
    Abstract: A vehicular belt tactile apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a buckle, a belt configured to be fastened to the buckle and at least one air pouch disposed at a portion of the belt that contacts the body of an occupant when the belt is fastened to the buckle. An air controller generates a control signal when the belt is fastened to the buckle. The buckle includes an air supply unit that is configured to inject air into the at least one air pouch through the belt or to discharge air from the at least one air pouch in response to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20220194389
    Abstract: A sound control apparatus for a vehicle is capable of implementing a separated sound zone in response to a change in position of a passenger's head. A separated sound zone control method for a vehicle includes determining a current position of the passenger's head, and when the determined current head position corresponds to a predicted head position, outputting an output sound datum corresponding to the predicted head position through a plurality of speakers, where the output sound datum is selected by applying a sound data sample to a control filter set configured to form a separated sound zone corresponding to the predicted head position.

  • Patent number: 8861911
    Abstract: An optical and power composite cable includes a plurality of power lines adjacently arranged in a cable, each power line having a central conductor and an insulating coating layer surrounding the central conductor; at least one optical fiber unit arranged together with the power lines, each optical fiber unit having at least one optical fiber and a tube surrounding the optical fiber; and a cable sheath surrounding the power lines and the optical fiber unit, wherein, assuming that the thickness of the tube is t and that the outer diameter of the tube is D, the ratio of the thickness of the tube to the outer diameter defined as t/D is 8% to 20%.

  • Patent number: 8426750
    Abstract: Provided are an electromagnetic shielding structure and a method of manufacturing the electromagnetic shielding structure. The electromagnetic shielding structure shields an electromagnetic wave having a specific frequency band, is miniaturized, and includes a strip line, and a couple of plate structures facing each other and connected to both ends of the strip line. The method of manufacturing the electromagnetic shielding structure is simple. An electromagnetic wave having a specific frequency band is shielded, and variation in electromagnetic shielding performance according to the position of an electromagnetic shielding construction is prevented, thus constructing a reliable electromagnetic shielding concrete building.
