Abstract: A method for controlling a cooling system for controlling a power converter of a hybrid electric vehicle includes: estimating the temperature of a power converter at the time of a CAN communication error as a current temperature of the power converter and controlling a cooling system at a cooling rate based on the estimated temperature; and controlling the cooling rate of the cooling system depending on whether an output of the power converter is greater than a reference value. According to the method, the cooling system can be more effectively controlled.

Abstract: Control of a converter for an electric vehicle may control the converter of the electric vehicle where the converter is adapted to drop voltage and a counting unit is adapted to count a signal generated by the converter. The control includes inputting a signal generated by the converter to the counting unit during operation of the converter; counting the signal by the counting unit; determining whether a counting result of the counting unit corresponds to a predetermined interval; and deciding that the converter is out-of-order in a case that the counting result does not correspond to the predetermined interval.

Abstract: There is provided a method of processing an ultrasound spectrum image. According to such method, a spectrum image is formed based on ultrasound data and then the noise is removed from the spectrum image. The noise-removed spectrum image is matched with one or more spectrum models representing specific spectrum types. Then, whether or not the noise-removed spectrum image contains an aliasing is checked. If the noise-removed spectrum image contains the aliasing, then the aliasing is removed from the noise-removed spectrum image to provide a noise-removed spectrum image without the aliasing. Thereafter, contour tracing is performed on the noise-removed spectrum image without the aliasing to detect contour points. Further, peak tracing is performed on the noise-removed spectrum image without the aliasing to detect peaks.
