  • Patent number: 11946541
    Abstract: A method of controlling an EOP of a powertrain may include determining, by a controller electrically connected to the EOP, whether an oil sloshing phenomenon in which it is difficult for oil to return to a space where an oil intake port of the EOP is positioned may occur while a vehicle is running; and reducing, by the controller, the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the EOP by a predetermined reduced RPM when it is determined that the oil sloshing phenomenon may occur.

  • Publication number: 20230073908
    Abstract: A speed sensitive type active hidden air curtain of a vehicle includes: hole opening or closing devices configured to cover or open an air hole of a bumper facing traveling wind with any one of a bumper interlocking device, a lamp interlocking device, and a hole color change device to guide air to a space formed between a bumper and a wheel; a power connection member interlocked with a deflector guiding the traveling wind under the bumper to move the hole opening or closing devices; and a supporter maintaining tension of the power connection member. The speed type active hidden air curtain thereby implements a clean and differentiated design image of the bumper and improves appearance quality thereof by covering the air hole exposed to the outside.

  • Patent number: 10352519
    Abstract: A sequential turn signal for a vehicle may include a light source; a filter configured to project a beam from the light source; a shield configured to block a projection area of the beam passing through the filter; and a lens positioned at an opposite side of the filter in relation to the shield. A degree of blinking of the lens is changed according to a degree to which the projection area is blocked by the shield.

  • Patent number: 10259380
    Abstract: A dual light path forming type projection optical system may include a reflector allowing light generated from a light source to be formed into a lower reflecting light reflected to an upward path directing upward and an upper reflecting light reflected to a downward path directing downward, a prism lens allowing the upper reflecting light to be emitted as a prism low beam in which the downward path is changed into the upward path and allowing the prism low beam to be changed into a prism high beam by changing an incident angle of the upper reflecting light, and an aspheric lens for generating a low beam by allowing the prism low beam to be added to the lower reflecting light and generating a high beam by allowing the prism high beam to be added to the lower reflecting light.

  • Patent number: 9869444
    Abstract: A flat lamp structure may include a housing; a module in which at least one LED is disposed on a substrate; a reflector which reflects light emitted from the LED to the outside thereof; an inner lens which is disposed in front of the reflector with a predetermined interval to diffuse light emitted from the LED; and an outer lens which is disposed outside the inner lens and coupled to the housing, wherein the reflector has a first reflector part, a second reflector part, and a third reflector part having different optical properties and the first and second reflector parts have a specular reflection characteristic and the third reflector part has a Lambertian reflection characteristic, and reflects the light in all directions with the uniform brightness regardless of a direction to a diffuser surface to form a light emission surface.
