Stationary control knob having proximity sensors
A vehicle input knob assembly is provided that includes a stationary knob located in a vehicle and having an outer peripheral surface with a plurality of radial extending surfaces such as ribs and a plurality of proximity sensors located proximate to the knob to detect a user rotating a hand around the knob. The assembly also includes a controller generating a control signal based on the detected rotation of the hand. The knob may further include proximity sensors on a front surface for added user input.
Multiposition Ground/Earth Terminal Block for Electrical Receptacles
An electrical receptacle assembly comprising a housing defined by a first compartment and a second compartment removably securable to each other by means of fasteners. The first compartment has an operative sidewall defining a first opening and an operative base defining a second opening, wherein the first opening has hourly graduations with a corresponding first securing formation for each graduation on the operative front face of the sidewall facing the outside of the first compartment. A sleeve formation extends from the sidewall defining the first opening and surrounding the graduation. A terminal block configured to be securely fitted within the first opening. The terminal block has second securing formations complementary to the first securing formations on the first opening to enable the terminal block to be rotatably mounted in the first opening corresponding to a desired voltage rating.
VEHICULAR DISPLAY DEVICE
A vehicular display device includes: a decoration panel that includes a base, the base including one surface thereof configured as a design surface and an opening formed therein, and the decoration panel being provided at an interior in a vehicle; a diffusion member that is configured to block the opening of the base; and a sheet member that includes a light transmission type screen portion, the light transmission type screen portion including a light transmitting portion and a light shielding portion mixed therein, the light transmitting portion being configured such that light that has been irradiated from a side of another surface of the base to be diffused by the diffusion member is transmitted, and the light shielding portion being configured such that the light cannot be transmitted, and the sheet member being provided on the design surface such that the light transmission type screen portion covers the diffusion member.
TOP-CONTACTED REFLECTIVE SHEET DEVICE
The present invention relates to a top-contacted reflective sheet device, which is consisted of a base, a reflective sheet and a shaft group, and an angle adjustment module is further included. By the composition of above elements, a level and a flip angle of the reflective sheet is provided to be adjusted easily, and a top end of the reflective sheet could be fixed on a windshield of a vehicle to thereby remove shakes, so that a user may easily adjust the direction of the reflective sheet to obtain an optimal viewing angle, to thereby improve driving safety.

Speedometer drive system and method
A speedometer system is disclosed that replaces reliance on the feedback from a vehicle transmission and instead tracks the vehicle speed from an external source. In some embodiments, a global positioning unit (GPS) is connected to a microcontroller that drives an electric motor to turn and display a speed for an improved speedometer reading. The speedometer system further including a calibration unit that allows for the manipulation of the electric motor to display a predetermined calibration speed on the speedometer.
