  • Patent number: 8616660
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a regenerative brake control method of a regenerative brake system using an electronic control brake, which is devised to increase a regenerative brake energy recovery rate of a vehicle via brake hydraulic pressure control under low brake pressure conditions. The regenerative brake control method includes determining whether or not regenerative brake cooperative control of non-drive wheels is necessary based on a vehicle speed and driver requested brake force, and selecting whether or not to perform the regenerative brake cooperative control, thereby achieving vehicle braking stability. If the regenerative brake cooperative control is necessary, brake hydraulic pressure of non-drive wheels are controlled to increase regenerative brake force of drive wheels, which increases a regenerative brake energy recovery rate.

  • Patent number: 8614452
    Abstract: The light extraction efficiency of a typical light-emitting diode (LED) is improved by incorporating one-dimensional ZnO nanorods. The light extraction efficiency is improved about 31% due to the waveguide effect of ZnO sub-microrods, compared to an LED without the nanorods. Other shapes of ZnO microrods and nanorods are produced using a simple non-catalytic wet chemical growth method at a low temperature on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) top contact layer with no seed layer. The crystal morphology of a needle-like or flat top hexagonal structure and the density and size of ZnO microrods and nanorods are easily modified by controlling the pH value and growth time. The waveguide phenomenon in each ZnO rod is observed using confocal scanning electroluminescence microscopy (CSEM) and micro-electroluminescence spectra (MES).
