  • Publication number: 20240079772
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a switching antenna for automotive Ultra-Wide-Band (UWB) communication. The switching antenna includes a substrate section, a radiating section having a plurality of radiators formed on the substrate section so as to be spaced apart from each other to provide a pattern signal, and a selective signaling section formed on the substrate section to selectively connect the radiating section to cause a radiation pattern of the radiating section to be one of directional and omnidirectional.

  • Publication number: 20240079768
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a switching antenna for UWB communication for a vehicle. The switching antenna may include a substrate part, a radiation part formed in the substrate part and configured to radiate an omnidirectional pattern signal, a main ground part formed in the substrate part and disposed below the radiation part, side ground parts formed on the substrate part and disposed on both sides of the radiation part, and a selection signal part formed in the substrate part and configured to induce a radiation pattern of the radiation part to become either directional or omnidirectional by selectively connecting the main ground part and the side ground part.

  • Patent number: 10328792
    Abstract: Provided is a lid device, which is compact and can be installed in an efficient manner. The lid device (20) releasably locks a lid (10) provided with a hinge (12) in a closed position. The lid device is provided with a push lifter (32) that alternates between an extended state and a retracted state each time the lid is pushed, a motor (46) placed next to the push lifter, a lock member (18) and a transmission mechanism (64) for transmitting the output of the motor. The lock member and the transmission mechanism are positioned between the push lifter and a side profile of the drive unit remote from the push lifter, and the lock member is moveable in a direction substantially perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the push lifter and a direction from the push lifter toward the drive unit.

  • Publication number: 20180162219
    Abstract: A device for opening and closing a fuel tank inlet cover for a vehicle can be easily assembled without the influence of a working space. The device includes a cover provided to a cap member having a fuel tank inlet so as to rotate with respect to a hinge, a push-lift provided such that an upper end portion thereof is lifted or lowered with respect to a through hole, which is formed in a coupling rib of the cover so as to be inserted into or withdrawn from the through hole, a lock rod for moving forward or backward to one side or the other side such that the push-lift is locked or unlocked, and an actuator for enabling the lock rod to move forward or backward in one or the other direction.

  • Patent number: 9950615
    Abstract: In a lid device opening and closing a fuel lid of a vehicle by a push-push mechanism, a common push lifter can be applied in both cases with and without a mechanism for locking the fuel lid at a closed position. The lid device (20) indirectly locks the fuel lid (10) at the closed position by controlling a displacement of a push rod (22) protruding and retracting from a push lifter unit (24). In order to control the displacement of the push rod (22), an engagement member (56) engaging the push rod (22) is movably supported in a housing (54) of a drive unit (26), and the push lifter (24) and the drive unit (26) are formed as separate members.
