A system and method of selecting air intake between 100% fresh air mode and 100% recirculated air mode for optimum heating/cooling performance, fuel economy and/or high voltage (HV) battery power consumption is disclosed. The system and method includes a partial recirculation control strategy in which the air inlet door is moved progressively to any position by taking into account cooling/heating loads and cabin fogging probability. As cooling/heating loads increase the air inlet door moves toward 100% recirculation mode. As fogging probability increases the air inlet door moves toward 100% fresh air mode. By selectively choosing a position between 100% recirculation and 100% fresh air, fuel economy and/or HV battery power consumption is optimized without compromising passenger comfort or causing fogging on interior glass surfaces. In cooling applications the compressor load is minimized and air conditioning performance is improved due to the reduced evaporator cooling load. The direct result of this improvement is increased fuel economy in the case of the internal combustion vehicle, reduced engine on time in the case of the hybrid electric vehicle (due to reduced HV battery power consumption), and reduced HV battery power consumption in the case of the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and the electric vehicle (EV). In heating applications, as the heating load is reduced the fuel economy of the internal combustion (IC) engine will be improved, the engine on time is reduced in the case of the HEV, and HV battery power consumption is reduced in the case of the EV.

A vehicle seat air-conditioner includes a seat on which an occupant sits, a seat temperature adjustment device that adjusts a temperature of a conditioned gas, a blower that supplies the conditioned gas to the seat, a seat covering layer provided on a surface of the seat and facing the seated occupant, and a flow channel provided on an underside of the seat covering layer that pass the conditioned gas that is introduced by the blower. The vehicle seat air-conditioner is adapted to convey heat of the conditioned gas to an occupant side by directly blowing out a portion of the introduced conditioned gas to the occupant side, and to perform heat exchange with the occupant side via the seat covering layer by circulating a portion of a remainder of the conditioned gas through the flow channel.

The present invention discloses guide blades of an axial flow fan shroud for guiding the air blown by an axial flow fan in an axial direction, and more particularly, to a guide blade structure capable of preventing the backflow of high temperature heat from an engine room toward a condenser. A guide blade 35 of an axial flow fan shroud 30 comprises: a leading edge 37 for introducing the air blown by an axial flow fan 10 including a number of blades 12; a trailing edge 39 extended from the leading edge 37 to downstream; and an air flow guide surface 38 for guiding the blown air between the leading and trailing edges 37 and 39, wherein if a first outlet area a is defined by at a radius r from a root in the total length R of an angle of projection Aout of the guide blade 35 and a second outlet area b is defined by the remainder, the angle of projection Aout increases as approaching a tip with respect to an axial line in the second outlet area b.

An air conditioning apparatus for a vehicle includes a front air-conditioning unit for adjusting a temperature of air blown toward a front seat side in a passenger compartment, and a rear air-conditioning unit for adjusting a temperature of air blown toward a rear seat side in the passenger compartment. In the front air-conditioning unit, a ratio between an amount of air passing through a front heater core and an amount of air bypassing the front heater core is adjusted by an air mixing door, and the temperature of air blown toward the front seat side in the passenger compartment is adjusted by the rotation of the air mixing door. On the other hand, in the rear air-conditioning unit, a flow control valve for controlling a flow rate of hot water flowing into a rear heater core is provided, and the temperature of air blown toward the rear seat side in the passenger compartment is adjusted by the flow control valve. Thus, the air conditioning apparatus has a downsized rear air-conditioning unit while preventing air-conditioning capacity for the passenger compartment from being lowered.

Disclosed are CMOS device and CMOS inverter. The CMOS device includes a substrate having active lines extending in a first direction and defined by a device isolation layer, the substrate being divided into an NMOS area, a PMOS area and a boundary area interposed between the NMOPS and the PMOS areas and having the device isolation layer without the active line, a gate line extending in a second direction across the active lines and having a first gate structure on the active line in the first area, a second gate structure on the active line in the second and a third gate structure on the device isolation layer in the third area. The electrical resistance and parasitic capacitance of the third gate structure are smaller than those of the NMOS and the PMOS gate structures. Accordingly, better AC and DC performance of the CMOS device can be obtained.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for manufacturing a Fin Field-Effect Transistor. When a fin is formed, a dummy gate across the fin is formed on the fin, a spacer is formed on sidewalls of the dummy gate, and a cover layer is formed on the first dielectric layer and on the fin outside the dummy gate and the spacer, then, an self-aligned and elevated source/drain region is formed at both sides of the dummy gate by the spacer, wherein the upper surfaces of the gate and the source/drain region are in the same plane. The upper surfaces of the gate and the source/drain region are in the same plane, making alignment of the contact plug easier; and the gate and the source/drain region are separated by the spacer, thereby improving alignment accuracy, solving inaccurate alignment of the contact plug, and improving device AC performance.

An air conditioner for a vehicle uses a hybrid compressor (4) including a first compression mechanism driven by a first drive source (2) and a second compression mechanism driven by a second drive source (5), and a single discharge port connected to the first and the second compression mechanisms. The operation of the hybrid compressor is controlled by a controller (15) in accordance with a control mode. The controller has a first operation mode in which the first compression mechanism alone is driven, a second operation mode in which the second compression mechanism alone is driven, a third operation mode in which the first and the second compression mechanisms are simultaneously driven, and a fourth operation mode in which the first and the second compression mechanisms are simultaneously stopped. Depending upon various conditions, the controller selects, as the control mode, one of the first, the second, the third, and the fourth operation modes.

Substitute fluorocarbons (HCFC and HFC) for chlorofluorocarbons are replaced with a hydrocarbon refrigerant which is a natural refrigerant to render the elimination of chlorofluorocarbons with the hydrocarbon refrigerant as a natural refrigerant possible. Thus, the substitute fluorocarbons are diminished and energy saving in refrigerators or air conditioners is attained. A hydrocarbon mixture refrigerant is provided which contains propane and has a saturated vapor pressure at 7 DEG C of 0.3-1 MPa and a saturated vapor pressure at 35 DEG C of 0.6-2.2 MPa. It may further contain n-butane, isobutane, and ethane. The hydrocarbon mixture refrigerant preferably has a boiling point of -20 DEG C or lower.
