A slide device includes an upper rail to which a slide seat for a vehicle is attached, a slide rail to which the upper rail is slidably attached, a light emitter, and an attachment portion that attaches the light emitter to the upper rail. The attachment portion is attached to the upper rail such that the light emitter is arranged outside the slide rail. According to the slide device, since the attachment portion is attached to the upper rail such that the light emitter is positioned outside the slide rail, the light emitter does not move inside the slide rail to which a large amount of grease is applied, and a decrease in communication performance can be prevented.

An illuminated door sill plate contains: a base and a removable cover. The base includes an elongated case, a waterproof plate, a PCB having a light-emitting diode (LED), a light guide plate, and at least one changeable battery. The elongated case has a light emitting portion, multiple engagement portions, at least one first receiving orifice, and at least one battery cover. The removable cover includes an elongated body connected with a nameplate, and the nameplate has a light transmission portion formed on center of the nameplate in multiple character shapes and configured to transmit lights, an elongated groove formed on center of a top of the elongated body, and multiple hooks extending from two long sides of the elongated groove and engaged with the multiple engagement portions so that the base is connected with or removed from the removable cover.

An air duct system comprising an air duct having a main body, a visible light source, and one or more photovoltaic devices. The main body of the air duct defines a passageway having a reflective inner surface. The visible light source is configured to generate visible light, where the visible light source directs the visible light along the reflective inner surface of the air duct. The one or more photovoltaic devices are disposed along the reflective inner surface of the air duct, where a portion of the visible light generated by the visible light source is converted into electrical power by the one or more photovoltaic devices.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to adjust device control information. The example apparatus comprises a light drive waveform generator to obtain metadata corresponding to media and generate device control information based on the metadata, the device control information to inform a lighting device to enable consecutive light pulses; an effect engine to apply an attack parameter and a decay parameter to consecutive light pulses corresponding to the device control information, the attack parameter and the decay parameter based on the metadata to affect a shape of the consecutive light pulses; and a color timeline generator to generate color information based on the metadata, the color information to inform the lighting device to change a color state.

A lighting apparatus includes a light emitting diode, in which the light emitting diode includes an n-type nitride semiconductor layer, an active layer located on the n-type nitride semiconductor layer, and a p-type nitride semiconductor layer located on the active layer. The light emitting diode emits light that varies from yellow light to white light depending on a driving current.

A lighting device is disclosed. In various embodiments, the lighting device includes an optical system; a plurality of light sources arranged in a matrix, the plurality of light sources including a first plurality of light sources configured to irradiate a first region of the optical system with a first light color, a second plurality of light sources configured to irradiate a second region of the optical system with a second light color; and a processor configured to control interaction of the first plurality of light sources and the second plurality of light sources with a third plurality of light sources and to control mixing of the first light color and the second light color.

Light bar assemblies configured to be mounted to a rim of a steering wheel of a vehicle are disclosed. The light bar assemblies can include components of a driver monitoring system. The light bar assembly includes two shells defining or surrounding the rim and a wrapping surrounding the two shells. A portion of the wrapping is tucked into a slot disposed between the two shells forming a slit. A lens is disposed within the slit and pinched by the wrapping to prevent leakage of light around the lens.

A luminous laminated automotive glazing with diodes peripherally on a diode carrier facing the edge face of the interior glass equipped with a recess, a profiled bead and a protective adhesive strip between the diode carrier and the bead.

In an interior member (1) for a vehicle, a lens (18) extends along a light guide member, and is provided with a groove (26) receiving the light guide member therein, a first engaging portion (21) provided on a wall that defines the groove, and a second engaging portion (22) provided on a wall that defines the groove, and the interior member main body is provided with a first engaged portion (34) engaged by the first engaging portion, and a second engaged portion (35) engaged by the second engaging portion, the lens being resiliently deformable so as to bring the walls defining the groove toward each other.

The disclosed subject matter generally relates to a lighting device including at least two optical output modules for jointly providing transformable output light. The transformable output light is transformable a diffuse light output and a light output that has higher contrast than the diffuse light. Accordingly, the inventors realized that an enhanced user experience for vehicle occupants is provided by a lighting device that can seamlessly transform its output light between diffuse light to more high contrast light. For example, a vehicle interior component may be illuminated with a diffuse light when it is in one state, e.g. when it is not used. In a second state, when the component is used or intended to be used, it may be illuminated with a high contrast light to provide the user with more helpful assist light.
