A badge is provided herein. The badge includes a substrate attached to a housing. The housing includes a viewable portion. A light source is operably coupled with an optic. A reflective member is further disposed within the badge. A first portion of an excitation light emitted from the light source is directed through the optic toward a first portion of the viewable portion. A second portion of the excitation light is reflected by the reflective member towards a second portion of the viewable portion.

A self-contained illuminated sign for mounting on a vehicle is disclosed. The sign includes a front panel, a rear panel situated opposite and substantially parallel to the front panel in spaced relation therefrom to define a space therebetween, and a light source comprising a plurality of LEDs. The light source is positioned between the front and rear panels and is configured to emit light that emanates from the front panel. The front panel is thus backlit to display indicia. A system for supporting a self-contained illuminated sign on a vehicle is also disclosed. The system includes the sign and a separate mounting frame mountable on a vehicle. The mounting frame is configured to removably receive the sign and, when the sign is received in the mounting frame, to surround a perimeter of the sign while permitting visibility of the front display area. Related methods are also disclosed.

A display device and a housing of the display device are provided. The housing of the display device includes a reflective cover. The reflective cover has a plurality of segments formed on a front side of the reflective cover and a plurality of segment structures correspondingly formed on a rear side of the reflective cover. At least one of the segment structures has a notch formed thereat. Positions of the notches of the at least two adjacent ones of the segment structures are not opposite to each other.

Problem addressed: how to decrease the loss of visual quality in an image that appears when this image is placed behind a semitransparent photovoltaic sheet or film. Solution: on the one hand, increase the luminosity of the image by depositing a white-coloured or metallic or reflective layer on the side of the photovoltaic cells that is turned towards the image; and on the other hand, by modifying the luminosity, the contrast, and the colour saturation of the image.

A container system includes a first container for holding first contents; a resonant surface disposed on or within the container; and an excitation device for providing an excitation to the resonant surface. Excitation of the resonant surface provides a resonant response, which defines information about a property of the container.

A reflector device includes a reflector element having a reflection surface that reflects light waves incident on the reflection surface. The reflector element has a predefined shape and a rear side situated opposite the reflection surface. The reflector device has a shell element having a depression to receive the reflector element. The reflector element is mounted in the depression such that the reflection surface of the reflector element faces away from the depression. The reflector device has a covering element having a transparent portion, through which the reflection surface of the reflector element is visible. The covering element is arranged against the shell element to form a container for the reflector element.
