  • Patent number: 11962039
    Abstract: A method of mounting a bus-bar frame includes: forming a plurality of cell lead blocks and a battery cell stacked body by alternately stacking a cell lead block and at least one battery cell; disposing a top cover with respective ends on which a bus-bar frame is installed so as to cover the battery cell stacked body; removing the lead blocks from a space between the battery cell stacked body and the bus-bar frame; and installing the bus-bar frame on the battery cell stacked body by rotating the bus-bar frame. The alternately stacking of the cell lead block and the at least one battery cell includes positioning an electrode lead protruding from each battery cell between neighboring ones of the cell lead blocks.

  • Patent number: 11926310
    Abstract: Controlling a speed limit includes determining a virtual vehicle speed as being a lower one of a vehicle speed and a target limit speed, determining a virtual APS value as being a larger one of a first APS value and a second APS value, transitioning to a second mode at a point in time at which an actual APS value and the second APS value become different, when it is expected to transition to the second mode, among a first mode for sustaining a SOC of a battery at the target limit speed and the second mode for depleting the SOC, and determining a transmission gear position by applying the determined virtual vehicle speed and the determined virtual APS value to one of a first shifting pattern and a second shifting pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240067079
    Abstract: A brake lamp control method of a vehicle is provided. The method includes determining whether a deceleration of the vehicle based on regenerative brake through the electric motor is present in a hysteresis period between an off threshold as a reference for turning off a brake lamp and an on threshold as a reference for turning on the brake lamp. When the deceleration of the vehicle is present in the hysteresis period, the method includes determining a state of the brake lamp before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period. In response to determining that the brake lamp is turned on or off for a reason except for the regenerative brake before the deceleration of the vehicle enters the hysteresis period, a request for turning on the brake lamp is set or reset based on the regenerative brake in response to the determined state of the brake lamp.

  • Publication number: 20160175606
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an optical stimulator inserted into a biological tissue for obtaining a neural signal by stimulating a neuron with a propagating light. The optical stimulator includes: a main unit comprising electrodes, and electrical terminals connected to the electrodes; a waveguide extended from a side of the main unit and comprising electrochromic films; and a light source disposed in the main unit and producing light along a direction in which the electrochromic films formed in the waveguide are arranged. Each of the electrical terminals is connected to the respective electrochromic films, and the electrochromic films change a propagation path of light reaching the electrochromic films upon a voltage being applied thereto from the electrical terminals, to stimulate a neuron.
