VEHICLE LAMP
A vehicle lamp includes: a lamp body having a front opening; a front cover attached to the lamp body to cover the front opening and configured to form a lamp chamber with the lamp body; a lamp unit including at least one light emitting element mounting portion having a heat dissipation portion, and disposed in the lamp chamber; an air blower configured to generate, in the lamp chamber, an air circulation flow including a cooling flow sent in a forward direction toward the heat dissipation portion and an intake flow returning to the rear, and an air blower support member configured to support the air blower so as to dispose the air blower behind the lamp unit in the lamp chamber, and to form an intake space through which the intake flow passes below the cooling flow.
Vehicle Built-in Electric Jack System
A vehicle built-in electric jack system, including a plurality of electric jacks capable of lifting a vehicle. The plurality of jacks operates using a 12-volt power supply. The plurality of jacks are telescopic jacks. Each jack is made from a plurality of cylinders. The cylinders are apportioned such that each cylinder for a jack fits inside of the previous cylinder. Each of the plurality of jacks has a minimum of one light placed on the jack. The light is directed toward the wheel well of the vehicle. The jacks and lights are attached to a controller. The controller is located inside of the vehicle such that the jacks and lights can be operated while the user is inside of the vehicle cab. Further, each jack has a rocker switch located thereon that can control the jack to which it is attached.
Control apparatus for driving a laser diode
A control apparatus for driving a laser diode comprises an output connection for connecting the laser diode, a regulation device for generating an output signal, a detector device which is designed to determine a regulation variable when the regulation device provides the output signal and the laser diode is connected to the output connection. The control apparatus furthermore comprises a computer device for providing a control signal for the regulation device, wherein the computer device provides the control signal independently of the regulation variable. The regulation device is designed in such a way that it generates a level for the output signal depending on the control signal and the determined regulation variable.
Application of electrochromic polymers as color and opacity light filters
