  • Patent number: 9333907
    Abstract: A combined control apparatus includes a switch, an IPS device, a switch monitoring line, a lamp on/off monitoring line, and a switching device. The switch turns on or off a lamp. The IPS device associated with the lamp is connected to an output of the switch. The switch monitoring line is connected between the output of the switch and an input of an MCU to transmit a switch on/off state to the MCU. The lamp on/off monitoring line is connected between the input of the MCU and the IPS device to transmit a power switching signal of IPS to the MCU. The switching device is mounted in a signal transmission line connected between the output of the MCU and the IPS device to be turned on by a control signal of the MCU at a certain time after the lamp has initially been turned on by the switch.

  • Publication number: 20150178524
    Abstract: A system for wiring circuit verification of a vehicle includes a wiring, an RFID receiver, a main server, and a work instruction monitor. An RFID product label is attached with the wiring. The RFID receiver is configured to recognize wiring product information by communicating with the RFID product label in the vehicle. The main server is configured to receive the wiring product information from the RFID receiver to extract a circuit component of a wiring part number applied to the vehicle and refer to design data to verify whether wiring circuits are matched with each other. The work instruction monitor is configured to display a result of the verification to determine whether a wiring circuit matchability problem is present.

  • Publication number: 20080023985
    Abstract: A multi-insert cap blow-molding method for molding a hollow plastic product which is integrally formed with elongate fastening members. Each fastening member is seated in a groove defined in a lower mold. Each fastening member is composed of an elongate outer insert cap and an inner insert cap which is positioned in the outer insert cap to be separated from a bottom surface of the outer insert cap and to divide a space defined in the outer insert cap into an upper space and a lower space. A hollow parison is positioned between an upper mold and the lower mold. Hot air is blown into the parison with the upper and lower molds enclosing the parison to mold the parison and integrally fuse a portion of the parison to an inner surface of the fastening member. Then, the resultant product which is cooled, discharged and finished.
