Abstract: A seat device with an exit assist function includes a seat cushion; a seat base plate configured to support a lower end of the seat cushion; an actuator unit configured to move the seat cushion; a weight sensor configured to detect a weight of an occupant; an exit assist button configured to provide an exit assist operation signal; and a controller configured to control the actuator unit. Upon receiving the exit assist operation signal, the controller receives weight data of the occupant from the weight sensor, sets an exit assist operation based on the weight data of the occupant, sets a control value of the actuator unit based on the set exit assist operation, and controls the seat cushion to move based on the control value of the actuator unit.

Abstract: A method by which a server controls plural devices includes receiving a trigger signal generated by a sensor in a home in response to a mobile device being present at a specific location in the home, determining devices corresponding to the specific location by using the trigger signal, receiving context information indicating a situation of a user from the mobile device, selecting context information related to operations of the determined devices from among the received context information by using keywords respectively related to the devices, each of the operations corresponding to each of the devices, and providing the selected context information to the devices respectively so that each of the devices performs the operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a console operation device including a base plate, at least one solenoid disposed in the base plate, a guide rail disposed in front of the base plate, and a manipulator mounted on the guide rail to move on the guide rail, wherein the at least one solenoid includes a first magnet having a polarity, wherein the manipulator includes a second magnet having a polarity, wherein the manipulator is configured to be moved based on the polarities of the first and second magnets.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of controlling, by a voice guidance control device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a volume level of personalized voice guidance. The method includes: obtaining information on a distance between an occupant of a vehicle and a seat of the vehicle from a signal generated from the vehicle; and outputting voice guidance related to the occupant. A volume level of the voice guidance is adaptively determined based on the information on the distance between the occupant and the seat.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of controlling, by a sound control device for audio devices, sounds of an audio device worn by an occupant according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method includes: obtaining information on the occupant and a hazard from sensors provided in a vehicle; and outputting a warning sound through the audio device worn by the occupant to indicate a hazardous situation. A direction in which the audio device outputs the warning sound may be adaptively determined based on the information on the occupant and the hazard.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing CNTs by an electric arc discharge method. The synthesis gas for the arc discharge includes nitrogen and oxygen gases. The oxygen gas in the synthesis gas is converted to reactive oxygen species by the arc discharge and chemically reacts with amorphous carbon. Accordingly, the formation of amorphous carbon is suppressed when CNTs are formed on the cathode, and thus, high crystallinity of CNTs can be secured.
