  • Patent number: 10220840
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a vehicle configured to prevent a collision and a control method thereof. The vehicle includes a chassis; a steering unit configured to change a direction of the chassis; a brake unit configured to adjust a braking force of the chassis; a detector configured to detect movement information of the chassis; and a controller configured to confirm a variation rate of movement of the chassis based on the detected movement information and configured to automatically control an operation of the steering unit and the brake unit when the confirmed variation rate is out of a reference range. When a collision occurs, the vehicle may automatically perform at least one of steering control, side braking control, or a damping control, and thus a secondary collision may be prevented, the incidence of additional injury may be reduced, the speed of the vehicle may be stably reduced or stopped, and the vehicle may be moved to a safe lane so that a stabilization time of the vehicle may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9570448
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a storage node hole passing through an upper support layer, a bowing prevention layer and an upper mold layer using a dry etching process, forming a lower electrode in the storage node hole, patterning the upper support layer and the bowing prevention layer to expose a portion of the upper mold layer, removing the upper mold layer and at least a portion of the bowing prevention layer using a first wet etching process, and sequentially forming a dielectric layer and an upper electrode that cover the lower electrode. An etch rate of the bowing prevention layer may be substantially equal to an etch rate of the upper support layer during the dry etching process. An etch rate of the bowing prevention layer may be higher than an etch rate of the upper support layer during the first wet etching process.
