Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle is capable of preventing a spring from completely escaping from a spring pad when rebound additionally occurs in a full-rebound state during driving of the vehicle and thus the spring is extended beyond the extendable range thereof (or the free height thereof).

Abstract: A void bushing for a vehicle suspension is configured to have protrusion parts formed to protrude outwards on a bulge part of an inner pipe. The protrusion parts are located to be disposed in oblique line directions between void portions of an elastic body that is filled between the inner pipe and an outer pipe. In the void bushing, ride comfort characteristics and durability characteristics of a vehicle may be maintained, as they are, under favorable conditions by the void portions. Further the handling response characteristics of the vehicle may be advantageously improved by promoting a rigidity increase through the protrusion parts.

Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle is configured such that, even in a situation of departing from a range (spring freedom height) in which a coil spring may be tensioned as a rebound state is added in a full rebound state, a lower end of the coil spring is coupled to a spring pad coupled to a leaf spring and continuously supported, so that the separation of the coil spring connecting a suspension arm to a body member may be prevented. The suspension includes the leaf spring provided at the suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle; a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring; and the coil spring supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by the body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm.

Abstract: A storage device and an operating method of a storage controller are provided. The storage device comprises a non-volatile memory device, each including a plurality of physical blocks, the physical block includes a plurality of sub-blocks and a storage controller including a free block list and a victim selectable block list for the plurality of physical blocks. The storage controller configured to check full reusable physical blocks in the free block list and select a head of the checked block when there are not enough free blocks for storing data in response to a write request received from a host. The storage controller further configured to perform a garbage collection based on the victim selectable block list and to transmit an address of the physical block subjected to the garbage collection to the non-volatile memory device together with the write request.

Abstract: A bump stopper can be provided for a vehicle. The bump stopper includes an upper part, a lower part, and a connection member. The upper part and the lower part are stacked vertically and have double density. The connection member is positioned at an interface between the upper part and the lower part to connect the upper part and the lower part.

Abstract: A suspension system has a spring which may be prevented from being completely withdrawn and separated from a spring pad even in a situation in which an additional rebound further occurs in a full-rebound state and the spring deviates from a range (a free height of the spring) in which the spring can be extended.

Abstract: A suspension system for a vehicle includes a spring pad coupled to a spring and configured to support the spring connecting a suspension arm and a vehicle body member of the vehicle, where the spring pad includes: a seat part coupled to an end of the spring; a guide part configured to guide upward and downward movements of the seat part; and an elastic part configured to connect the seat part and the guide part and having a length that varies when the seat part moves. In particular, the spring is consistently supported by being coupled to the seat part of the spring pad even in a situation in which an additional rebound further occurs in a full-rebound situation and the spring deviates from a range in which the spring can be extended, thus preventing withdrawal of the spring connecting the suspension arm and the vehicle body member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle strut insulator that includes first and second bushes (100 and 200) having different hardness characteristics. The first bush (100) having a relatively high hardness is disposed in a left-right direction of a vehicle that affects the handling performance, and the second bush (200) having a relatively low hardness is disposed in a forward-backward direction of the vehicle that affects the ride comfort. Accordingly, the vehicle strut insulator can satisfy both requirements for handling performance, ride comfort and road noise performance.

Abstract: A system and method for charging a plug-in hybrid vehicle can improve the on-board charging efficiency of the plug-in hybrid vehicle by adjusting a frequency of operation of a cooler when cooling an on-board charger (OBC) by circulating coolant when the temperature of the OBC rises while a high-voltage battery is being charged. The operations of a water pump and a radiator fan are controlled by determining whether the voltage of the high-voltage battery is within or out of a reference voltage range in which the on-board charging of the high-voltage battery is performed. This consequently prevents power from being unnecessarily consumed by operation of the cooler, such that the efficiency of charging is improved and the OBC is properly cooled.

Abstract: A vehicle height adjusting device which adjusts vehicle height between a vehicle body and a lower arm, may include a suspension spring provided between the vehicle body and the lower arm; a variable portion provided inside an internal diameter of the suspension spring, and whose length is variable by converting a rotary driving motion around an axial direction into an axial rectilinear motion; and a power portion which is provided on the vehicle body, and rotates the variable portion.
