  • Publication number: 20230020916
    Abstract: A console apparatus for vehicles, includes a locking unit is additionally provided on a console box in a structure in which a console armrest is open and closed by the frictional force of a frictional hinge unit, wherein the locking unit is not operated in a normal state in which no traffic collision occurs, and thus the console armrest is smoothly open due to the frictional force of the frictional hinge unit, and the locking unit is operated to lock the console armrest at the time of a traffic collision, and thus the console armrest remains closed even at the time of the traffic collision.

  • Patent number: 10522665
    Abstract: Semiconductor circuits are provided for emulating neuron firing process using a positive feedback transistor having first and second gate electrodes in the longitudinal direction of a channel region. The first gate electrode is connected to a gate electrode of a first p-channel MOSFET to be an input terminal and the second gate electrode is connected to a drain to be applied with a supply voltage. Thus electrons and holes can accumulate separately in a channel region (i.e., a body) under each of the gate electrodes by applying input signals to the input terminal and drastically reduce the wasted power consumption in the non-fired neurons because the current is turned on and off only at a moment that corresponds to a firing of the neuron. Thus, the semiconductor circuits can be driven by low power and have the same level of endurance as a general MOSFET.

  • Patent number: 9846838
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor circuit for emulating neuron firing process having a floating body device instead of the conventional capacitor. By using a floating body to store excess holes generated by impact ionization, it is possible to emulate signal accumulation of a neuron, trigger firing when the storage is in excess of a predetermined threshold value, and return to an original state after the firing.

  • Patent number: 9165242
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device used to embody a neuromorphic computation system and operation method thereof. By comprising a floating body as a short-term memory means electrically isolated from the surroundings and a long-term memory means formed at one side of the floating body not formed of a source, a drain and a gate, a low power synaptic semiconductor device is provided, which can be mimic not only the short-term memory in a nervous system of a living body by an impact ionization, but also the short- and long-term memory transition property and the causal inference property of a living body due to the time difference of signals of the pre- and post-synaptic neurons.
