Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for controlling step charging of a secondary battery. A charging control unit determines a SOC, an OCV and a polarization voltage of the secondary battery, determines an OCV deviation corresponding to a difference between the OCV and a predefined minimum OCV value, determines a correction factor corresponding to the polarization voltage and the OCV deviation, determines a look-up SOC by correcting the SOC according to the correction factor, determines the magnitude of a charging current corresponding to the look-up SOC, and provides the determined charging current to a charging device.

Abstract: Discussed are a light-emitting device and a light-emitting display device having improved efficiency and increased lifespan. A plurality of stacks is provided between an anode and a cathode for at least a subpixel to emit a predetermined color, and emissive layers in different stacks include the same color-based materials having different luminous properties.

Abstract: A charging control apparatus measures a first temperature of a first secondary battery selected from the plurality of secondary batteries, a second temperature of a coolant flowing into the cooling device, a charging current of the secondary battery pack, a first terminal voltage of the first secondary battery and a second terminal voltage of a second secondary battery closest to the cooling device, estimates a temperature of a temperature estimation point of the second secondary battery from a lumped thermal model having a thermal resistance between two points selected from the temperature estimation point of the second secondary battery, the first temperature measurement point and the second temperature measurement point, and measurement data about temperature, current and voltage, and determines the estimated temperature as a minimum temperature of the secondary battery pack, and varies a charging power provided to the secondary battery pack according to the minimum temperature.

Abstract: An embodiment vehicle includes an emergency light, a plurality of detectors, a communication device, and a processor configured to determine whether the vehicle is in a normal state based on detection information of the plurality of detectors when the emergency light is in a turned-on state, determine a turning-on cause of the emergency light based on current location information received by the communication device when it is determined that the vehicle is in the normal state, and control the communication device to transmit guide information corresponding to the determined turning-on cause of the emergency light to an external device.

Abstract: A vehicle includes: an input unit configured to receive an execution command for speech recognition; a calculator configured to calculate a time in which the vehicle is expected to arrive at an obstacle existing on a road on which the vehicle travels; and a speech recognition controller configured to compare the calculated time in which the vehicle is expected to arrive at the obstacle to a time in which a voice command input is expected to be completed to determine whether to perform dynamic noise removal pre-processing.
