20120130606 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING OIL CHANGE TIMING OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A system and method for determining the time to change the oil of an automatic transmission includes: continuously tracing/storing oil change-related information, which serves as a basis for an oil change, from the point of time when new automatic transmission oil is provided, such as the point in time of a new car purchase or the point in time of an automatic transmission oil change; determining whether or not it is time to change the oil of the automatic transmission on the basis of the oil change-related information, a preset change reference value, an oil temperature reference value, a recommended vehicle travel mileage and the like. When it is determined to be the time to change the oil of the automatic transmission, an automatic transmission oil change signal is generated to inform a driver of the necessity of changing the oil of the automatic transmission. | 05-24-2012 |
20120078464 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TESTING AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT OF VEHICLE - A system testing the air bag control unit of a vehicle testing an air bag control unit of a vehicle summing a first signal shaken by a shaker and a second signal provided from the signal control apparatus to generate a sum-sensing signal, and generating a determining signal for evaluation regarding presence of an operation of an air bag based on the sum-sensing signal, is provided. The system testing an air bag control unit of a vehicle, includes: a shaker control unit generating a first signal and start-synchronizing information regarding the first signal; a shaker shaking an air bag control unit according to a frequency of the first signal; a signal control unit time-synchronizing and transferring the second signal with the first signal using the start-synchronizing information to the air bag control unit; and an air bag control unit generating a sum-sensing signal regarding the first signal and the second signal, generating and transferring a determining signal for evaluation regarding presence of an operation of an air bag based on the sum-sensing signal to the signal control unit. | 03-29-2012 |
