  • Patent number: 11916456
    Abstract: A connection structure of a stator of a drive motor is configured to allow coils to be wound in a plurality of slots provided in a stator core and to connect the coils withdrawn from the slots. The coils are wound in the slots to form first-type structures and second-type structures configured such that withdrawal directions of three-phase (U-, W- and V-phase) withdrawal lines and N-phase withdrawal lines withdrawn from the slots of the first-type structures are opposite to withdrawal directions of three-phase (U-, W- and V-phase) withdrawal lines and N-phase withdrawal lines withdrawn from the slots of the second-type structures. The first-type structures and the second-type structures are disposed symmetrically to each other with respect to a reference line formed to divide the slots in half.

  • Patent number: 11667242
    Abstract: An inclined type swing step attached to a truck includes a step bracket mounted on a lower region of a cabin providing a driver's seat, a step for a foothold, and a step swing device composed of a hinge shaft spring and/or a press shaft spring, positioning the step inside a virtual approach angle line formed with respect to a ground from a front side of a wheel through one-side inclination in a state where the step is spaced apart from the step bracket, and generating spring elasticity acting to make the step return to an initial position after downward movement of the step. The inclined type swing step can hold shaking of the step due to driver's stepping, improve vehicle accessibility through prevention of an interference by the step, and absorb an external object impact exceeding an approach angle.

  • Patent number: 10942805
    Abstract: An error correcting circuit receives a codeword including user data and a parity code, and performs an error correction operation on the user data. The circuit includes a first buffer, a decoder, a second buffer and a processor. The first buffer stores the codeword and sequentially outputs pieces of subgroup data obtained by dividing the codeword. The decoder generates pieces of integrity data for each of the pieces of subgroup data received from the first buffer, and performs the error correction operation on the user data using the parity code. The second buffer sequentially stores the pieces of integrity data for each of the pieces of subgroup data. The processor determines whether an error is present in the codeword based on the pieces of integrity data stored in the second buffer when at least one of the pieces of integrity data is updated in the second buffer.

  • Patent number: 10846171
    Abstract: An error correction code (ECC) decoder of a semiconductor memory device is provided. The ECC decoder includes an ECC checker, a syndrome generator, and an error detection/correction circuit. The ECC checker generates characteristic information representing first error information associated with message bits in an input codeword that is read from a target page in a memory cell array. The syndrome generator outputs a syndrome vector representing second error information associated with the input codeword by performing an operation on the message bits and parity bits in the input codeword based on a parity check matrix. The an error detection/correction circuit generates a transmission codeword by selectively correcting an error bit in the input codeword based on the characteristic information and the syndrome vector, generates a flag signal indicating whether the transmission codeword includes an error bit, and outputs a transmission message based on the transmission codeword.
