Publication number: 20230234545Abstract: An electro-hydraulic hybrid braking system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes multiple wheel-end braking modules (1), a hydraulic control module (2), a first electronic control module (3), and a second electronic control module (4). Each of the wheel-end braking modules (1) includes a hydraulic piston (10), a motor (8), and a speed-reducing transmission mechanism (9) configured to convert a rotary motion from the motor (8) into a linear motion for driving the hydraulic piston (10) or brake friction plates (12) to move forwards. The hydraulic piston (10) is movably arranged, and is movable forwards through brake hydraulic pressure. The motor (8) is controlled by the first electronic control module (3) and/or the second electronic control module (4). The electro-hydraulic hybrid braking system for a vehicle is applicable to a vehicle braking system for intelligent driving.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2021Publication date: July 27, 2023Applicant: BETHEL AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS CO., LTD.Inventors: YONGBIN YUAN, SHENG ZHANG, GAOCHAO ZHANG, QIFEI FENG

Publication number: 20120146198Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a conductive pad and a substrate. The conductive pad is used to transfer a first signal. The substrate blocks a second signal from a first region of the substrate to the conductive pad. A second region of the substrate insulates a third region of the substrate from the first region. The first and third regions include a first type of semiconductor and the second region includes a second type of semiconductor. In addition, a first shadow obtained by perpendicularly projecting the third region onto a surface of the substrate overlaps with a second shadow obtained by perpendicularly projecting the conductive pad onto the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2010Publication date: June 14, 2012Inventors: Haibin YANG, Yongbin YUAN

Patent number: 8138808Abstract: A circuit for detecting a phase imbalance of signals includes a conversion block and a comparator coupled to the conversion block. The conversion block generates generating a direct current (DC) signal based on a first signal and a second signal. The level of the DC signal is determined by a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal. The comparator compares the DC signal to a reference signal and generates an alert signal if a difference between the DC signal and the reference signal is greater than a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: O2micro, IncInventors: Yongbin Yuan, Jundong Zhu, Jingwei Zhang

Publication number: 20050025883Abstract: This invention relates to a brake component having a coating material applied thereto adapted for use in a vehicle brake assembly, method for producing such a brake component, and a vehicle brake assembly including such a brake component. The brake component is selected from the group consisting of brake shoe and a brake rotor. The brake shoe includes a friction lining having an outer surface having surface irregularities and the brake rotor including an inner cylindrical braking surface having surface irregularities. The surfaces of the brake components are disposed adjacent one another and adapted to frictionally engage one another when the brake assembly is actuated. The brake component surface having the surface irregularities prevents complete contact between the adjacent surfaces of the brake components prior to any burnishing or other contact or wear of components.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Yongbin Yuan, Steven Johnson, Richard Coco
