Abstract

A method for controlling an autonomous driving of a vehicle is introduced. The method may comprise generating a weighted adjacency matrix from an object graph, based on a location relative to an anticipated collision point among objects. The method may further comprise, based on this matrix and a graph convolution layer of a high-order graph model, generating an Mth-order adjacency matrix, defining interrelations among objects across M number of hops, generating object attribute information from this matrix and feature information defining an attribute of an object, generating, based on a combination layer of the high-order graph model, cumulative feature information by integrating the object attribute information, embedding the cumulative feature information into the object graph, generating, based on the embedding and a predicted path model, an object's predicted path, and outputting, based on this predicted path, a signal for controlling the autonomous driving of the vehicle.

Abstract

A method performed by a vehicle apparatus may comprise generating a plurality of first candidate sample points based on state information of a moving object. These sample points satisfy first azimuth conditions and a separation distance condition, set according to the moving object's state information. The method may further comprise selecting a first optimal sample point from these candidates based on an optimal sample point condition, goal point information, and the candidate points' information. Subsequently, a plurality of second candidate sample points may be generated, satisfying second azimuth conditions and the separation distance condition, using updated state information derived from the first optimal sample point. A second optimal sample point may be then selected from these candidates. Finally, a driving route may be generated based on both the first and second optimal sample points, and the vehicle may be controlled for autonomous driving based on this driving route.

A motor has a cooling structure and includes a housing, a stator provided inside the housing, a rotor provided inside the stator, and a shaft that passes through the rotor. A core through-hole passes through an outer surface and an inner surface of the stator and is formed in the stator so that oil supplied through the core through-holes from the outside of the stator is supplied to an air gap formed between the inner surface of the stator and the rotor.

Abstract

A sulfide-based solid electrolyte with an argyrodite crystal structure is represented by the formula Li6−aPS5−aX1+a, where X is one or more halogen elements selected from Cl, Br, I, and their combinations, and ‘a’ ranges from 0 to 0.5. The halogen elements are doped at 4a, 4c sites, or both within the argyrodite structure. Variations of this composition include Li5.5PS4.5X1.5, where X can be single or mixed halogens, such as Cl, Br, I, or combinations thereof. The solid electrolyte may be synthesized using a ball milling process to ensure uniform halogen distribution and achieve a disordered crystal structure that enhances ductility and fracture strength. Mechanical properties such as formation energy, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio are optimized for improved performance. Additionally, this electrolyte can be used in lithium-ion batteries, which are suitable for vehicle applications.
