Abstract: Proposed is a substrate heating unit including: a laser generator providing a laser beam for heating a substrate; and a beam shaper processing the laser beam from the laser generator and selectively providing one of a first beam having a uniform energy distribution and a second beam having an edge-enhanced energy distribution to the substrate.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes: receiving charging scheduling information including a scheduled vehicle departure time and a destination set by a user through an interface unit; determining whether a remaining time to the scheduled vehicle departure time from a current time has reached a set time; determining a required battery conditioning time required until a current battery temperature reaches a preset target temperature; determining a total estimated required time to arrival at the destination from the current time by reflecting real-time traffic information; and performing control of a thermal management system of the vehicle by adjusting the current battery temperature to the target temperature when the determined total estimated required time is less than the determined required battery conditioning time.

Abstract: A method of the pre-conditioning system for a battery of a vehicle includes: receiving an input of a destination of the vehicle; generating and outputting a destination route to the destination; searching for information on one or more battery charging stations located within a predetermined range on or around the destination route; determining whether each of the searched battery charging stations satisfies a preset environmental condition; adding a charging station path to a charging station selected among charging stations provided with the environmental condition to the destination route; determining whether the battery of the vehicle satisfies a preset state condition; and warming the battery at a preset time point when the preset state condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method of conditioning a battery of an electric vehicle, includes obtaining information on a charging time varying with a battery temperature with respect to a battery through testing, and providing, to a controller, charging performance setting information that results from setting by categorizing battery charging performance into a plurality of levels based on the obtained information on the charging time varying with the battery temperature; determining, by the controller, a charging time corresponding to a current battery temperature measured through a sensor, from the measured current battery temperature using the information on the charging time varying with the battery temperature; selecting, by the controller, a level indicating current battery charging performance from the determined charging time corresponding to the current battery temperature using the charging performance setting information; and displaying, by the controller, the selected level on a display device of a vehicle.

Abstract: A system for conditioning a vehicle battery interworking with remote air conditioning includes: a receiving unit that receives remote air conditioning execution setting and in-vehicle battery conditioning execution setting after a vehicle is parked; and a control unit that is configured to determine whether the remote air conditioning execution setting and the in-vehicle battery conditioning execution setting are received, and control to turn on or off vehicle indoor air conditioning and executes battery conditioning based on a determination result.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for conditioning a vehicle battery interworking with scheduled air conditioning, including the steps of determining, using a controller, whether a scheduled departure time and scheduled air conditioning execution are set after parking a vehicle; determining, using the controller, whether battery conditioning execution of the vehicle is set when it is determined that the scheduled departure time and the scheduled air conditioning are set; and executing, using the controller, air conditioning and battery conditioning of the vehicle before a preset reference time of the scheduled departure time when the battery conditioning execution is set.

Abstract: In one aspect, a system and method for battery conditioning of a vehicle are disclosed. The system comprises receivers configured to collect driving route information of the vehicle, battery state information of the vehicle and battery conditioning mode setup state information, and a controller configured to determine whether or not the vehicle enters battery conditioning control based on the driving route information of the vehicle, the battery state information of the vehicle and the battery conditioning mode setup state information received from the receivers and to control a battery temperature adjuster so as to adjust a temperature of the battery in advance before charging the battery during the battery conditioning control.

Abstract: A battery temperature control apparatus for electric vehicles, the battery temperature control apparatus including a temperature measurement unit configured to measure a temperature of a battery mounted in an electric vehicle, a display unit configured to display state information of the battery based on temperature information of the battery measured by the temperature measurement unit, and a controller configured to perform control such that a preconditioning function to maintain the temperature of the battery at a predetermined optimum temperature is selectively turned ON/OFF by a user based on the state information displayed on the display unit.
