Systems and methods for providing solar-generated power to a display unit mounted to a vehicle are provided. One or more mounting supports connect a housing for an electronic display to the vehicle. A solar energy harvesting device is secured to an upper portion of the vehicle and is electrically connected to the electronic display.

Provided is a digital billboard for vehicle. The technical gist of the present disclosure is that it can be installed in various vehicles such as buses and trucks, and can deliver advertisement contents to more citizens while driving, so that advertisers can quickly deliver advertisement contents or achieve advertising purpose, thereby maximizing the effect expected by advertisers. As a vehicle provided with a digital billboard travels, advertising contents can be imprinted in the minds of people due to dynamic visibility. In doing so, it is possible to easily achieve purposes intended by advertisers. In the event of a malfunction of the billboard, it is possible to easily replace the digital billboard firmly fixed in a sliding manner in an advertisement frame.

An emblem (30) (vehicle decorative part) includes a decorative main body (31) and a heater (55). The decorative main body (31) is configured to be attached to a vehicle at a front side in a transmission direction of millimeter waves from a millimeter wave radar to decorate the vehicle and has a millimeter wave transparency. The heater (55) has a heating element (57) that emits heat when energized. At least a part of the heating element (57) is located in a irradiation region (Z1) of the millimeter waves in the heater (55). As a millimeter wave attenuation reducing configuration that reduces attenuation of the millimeter waves passing through the heater (55), the heating element (57) is incorporated in the heater (55) in a condition where an area proportion of an area of a section of the heating element (57) that occupies the irradiation region (Z1) to an area of the irradiation region (Z1) is set such that an attenuation amount of the millimeter waves is less than or equal to a permissible value.

A light-emitting emblem includes a light-emitting element, a reflector to reflect light emitted from the light-emitting element, a housing that houses the light-emitting element and the reflector, and a cover including an emblem on a surface thereof and a light-emitting portion on the surface to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be extracted therethrough, the cover being attached to the housing so as to cover the light-emitting element and the reflector. The light-emitting element is disposed such that an optical axis thereof is directed to the cover. The reflector includes two side walls facing each other with the light-emitting element positioned therebetween and extending from the housing side toward the cover, and an opening outlined by end portions of the two side walls on the cover side. Light emitted from the light-emitting element is reflected at an inner surface of the reflector and guided to the light-emitting portion.

A radar cover is disposed on a path of a radio wave of a radar unit for detecting a surrounding situation of a vehicle. The radar cover includes, a plate-like transparent member having a housing recess recessed toward a front and formed on a back surface thereof, a colored core housed in the housing recess in a state of being in contact with a bottom surface of the housing recess, and a support member bonded to the back surface of the transparent member. In at least a portion of a region forming the housing recess when viewed from a front side of the transparent member, the depth of the housing recess is set to be larger than the thickness of the colored core, and a portion of the support member is filled in a region where the colored core is not disposed in a space surrounded by the housing recess.

A hood ornament mounting system is provided. The system includes a ring member having a keyed structure, including dentations, along an internal perimeter of the ring member, and a pair of through channels formed along an outside perimeter of the ring member at opposite regions. Additionally, the system includes a base member with a pair of recesses formed at opposite regions along a perimeter of the base member. The base member includes a bottom surface configured to contact a surface of an automobile and a top surface dimensioned to fit within the internal perimeter of the ring member. The base member has grooves on the perimeter to accommodate the dentations. A locking pin is seated in each of the pair of recesses. The locking pin is configured to lockingly interact with the keyed structure.

Provided are a computer program products, systems, and methods for directing a system to control an intensity of light emanating from a display positioned within a vehicle to display content to be viewed from outside of the vehicle. The system determines whether the system is operating in a first mode or a second mode based on at least one vehicle operating condition. A light level within the vehicle is sampled more frequently during the second mode than during the first mode. A determination is made as to whether a threshold change in the sampled light level occurs when in the second mode, and an intensity of the display is adjusted in response to the occurrence of a threshold change.

Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of cast vinyl film and, more particularly, to a method and system to provide a repositionable translucent cast vinyl film with an air egress adhesive layer. In one aspect, a method includes mixing a solvent based polyvinyl chloride (PVC) organosol with a stabilizer and an additive to get a desired shade of pellucid tint of a translucent thermoplastic stretch wrap film. Further, the method includes casting the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) organosol onto a film carrier and moving the film carrier through a plurality of ovens at varying temperatures to care into a solid film. The cured solid film is laminated to an air-egress liner casted with a solvent-borne acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive to provide ease of installation. The adhesive includes an air release patterning to allow escape of air from back of the film while repositioning the film around a complex shaped surface.
