Title: Jae Woo Yu: Inventor in Automotive Grip Detection
Introduction
Jae Woo Yu is an inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan, associated with Autoliv Development AB. His patent work addresses steering-wheel grip detection and the identification of potential sensor failures.
Latest Patents
Yu is credited with 1 patent: “Grip Detection Device, Failure Determination Method, and Program.” The invention describes a steering-wheel hands-on detection device with a core metal, a shield electrode separated from it by an insulator, and an outer sensor electrode separated from the shield by another insulator. A control unit measures the sensor electrode’s capacitance while the shield electrode and core metal are short-circuited, then uses that value to determine whether a failure has occurred.
Career Highlights
Yu’s listed patent reflects work on sensing systems that can detect a driver’s contact with a steering wheel while also assessing whether the detection system is functioning properly. This approach is relevant to automotive applications where reliable grip detection is important.
Collaborations
The patent information associates Yu with Autoliv Development AB. The available details identify the company connection but do not specify additional collaborators.
Conclusion
Jae Woo Yu’s patent focuses on combining steering-wheel grip sensing with a method for determining sensor failure, highlighting his contribution to automotive detection technology.
