Abstract: A vehicle control device, or a method thereof, for a host vehicle can include a processor, a power supply device that performs charging or discharging, a first battery used to operate the host vehicle, and memory. The processor may charge the first battery based on a charge power supplied from an external power source through the power supply device, perform control of the host vehicle such that the vehicle drives to a place other than a medical facility for use of medical equipment, provide power to the medical equipment based on a discharge power supplied by the first battery through the power supply device, and perform one of or both of identifying a condition of a patient through the medical equipment at the place and performing treatment on the patient at the place.

Abstract: Enclosed is an ignition device for an internal combustion engine. The ignition device includes a coil unit including a plurality of coil modules each of which includes a primary coil and a secondary coil, a cable commonly connected to each of opposite ends of the secondary coils of each of the coil modules of the coil unit, spark plugs each of which is connected to the cable and installed in one of combustion chambers having the same phase, and a controller provided to sequentially switch power supplied from a power source to the primary coils of each coil module of the coil unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling deactivation of cylinders in an engine may include a sensor that measures pressure inside an intake manifold of the engine, an oil control valve (OCV) that deactivates the cylinders in the engine, and a controller that is configured to control the OCV to deactivate a specific cylinder in the engine, based on the pressure inside the intake manifold.
