Abstract:
A method of adjusting the transmission torque characteristics of a dry clutch may include carrying out adjustment based on learning using a T-S curve that indicates the relationship of the transmission torque to the actuator stroke of the dry clutch, a section of the T-S curve in which inclinations change discontinuously is removed, so that the controllability over the dry clutch is reliable and the feeling of shifting can be improved.

A touch point adjusting method for a double clutch transmission, may include determining amounts of individual adjustment of first and second pressure plates and a center plate depending on temperature, determining an amount of final adjustment of a touch point in consideration of the amounts of the individual adjustment determined at the process of determining the amounts of the individual adjustment, and adjusting the touch point of a corresponding clutch based on the amount of the final adjustment of the touch point determined at the process of determining the amount of the final adjustment of the touch point.
Abstract:
A shift control method in a vehicle having a dual clutch transmission may include determining whether power-off downshifting is being carried out, monitoring whether a tip-in is caused by a driver during the power-off downshifting, releasing all of a transmission torque of a releasing clutch and a transmission torque of a coupling clutch if it is determined that the tip-in is caused during the power-off downshifting, decreasing an engine torque at a point of time when an engine speed becomes identical to a speed of a coupling input shaft on which a target gear is disposed, and synchronously increasing the engine torque by gradually increasing the transmission torque of the coupling clutch and gradually reducing an amount by which the engine torque is decreased when the releasing clutch has completed a releasing action and the engine speed becomes faster than the speed of the coupling input shaft.
Abstract:
A clutch failure diagnostic method for a dual clutch transmission (DCT), may include a synchronous clutch confirming step of confirming whether a clutch rotating in synchronization with an engine speed may be present after a cranking of an engine, when the clutch rotating in the synchronization with the engine speed may be determined to be present, a gear joining attempting step of attempting to join shift gears connected to the clutch rotating in the synchronization with the engine speed, and a failure determining step of determining that a corresponding clutch fails when the gears may be not joined, as a performance result of the gear joining attempting step.
Abstract:
An apparatus for reducing clutch pedal effort may include a spring bracket coupled with a hinge pipe, a switching lever rotatably coupled with the hinge pipe so as to come into contact with a pedal arm during a rotation of the switching lever, thus intensifying a forward rotation of the pedal arm, and a reaction providing unit combined with a pedal member and the switching lever at opposite ends. The reaction providing unit may be operated in such a way that, when the switching lever is not rotated, the reaction providing unit sets an initial position of the switching lever by restricting a movement of the switching lever using accumulated elasticity, and when the switching lever is rotated, the reaction providing unit provides a reaction force to the pedal arm so as to cause the switching lever to come into contact with the pedal arm.
Abstract:
A method of estimating a torque of a transmission clutch may include correcting an error by deducing an engine transient torque based on an engine angular velocity measured using a sensor, an engine static torque deduced using a data map, and a load torque depending on a driving load, deducing an engine angular velocity estimation value based on the engine static torque and the engine transient torque, and deducing a clutch torque estimation value depending on a slip in the transmission clutch from a difference between the engine angular velocity estimation value and the measured engine angular velocity.

An apparatus circulates a coolant in a turbocharger, which includes a first coolant line for supplying the coolant to the turbocharger from a water pump and configured to form a first flow resistance member to increase flow resistance to the coolant flowing through the first coolant line.
Abstract:
A BCG analysis system includes a vehicle behavior sensor, a posture measurement sensor, a pattern database, a BCG measurement unit, a signal processing unit, and a biostate recognition unit. The vehicle behavior sensor measures the physical momentum of a vehicle. The posture measurement sensor measures the posture of a testee. The pattern database stores standardized representative patterns. The BCG measurement unit measures the BCG signal of the testee. The signal processing unit obtains desired data by matching the BCG signal with a pattern of the pattern database, searching the pattern database for a new pattern when the posture of the testee and the physical momentum of the vehicle may be changed, and matching the BCG signal of the BCG measurement unit with the new pattern. The biostate recognition unit recognizes the biostate of the testee.
Abstract:
An apparatus for opening and closing a trunk for a vehicle, may include a motor unit equipped with a motor, an inner tube provided outside the motor unit to surround the motor unit, with a plurality of protrusions protruding from an outer circumference of the inner tube, an outer tube provided outside the inner tube to surround the inner tube and including a threaded groove being indented along an inner circumference of the outer tube, a bar-shaped spindle having a threaded portion on an outer circumference thereof, and coupled to the motor unit to cause the threaded portion of the spindle to engage with the threaded groove of the outer tube when the motor may be rotated, thus allowing the spindle to perform translation simultaneously with rotation, and an elastic member-wound on an outer circumference of the outer tube.
