One embodiment of exhaust component (30) contains a shield (40). The shield being opaque allows indefinite designs to be cut out. These designs are illuminated by illumination assembly (36), which enhances cutouts (44), thereby allowing them to remain visible under all conditions. Another embodiment of the exhaust component without the shield contains illumination modules (58). These modules illuminate the exhaust component's mouth (32) through base (22) or outer wall (34), and this allows the shape of the exhaust component to be the design feature. The illumination of the mouth both enhances the shape and allows it to remain visible under all conditions. These embodiments can occur alone or together for both maximal design enhancement and additional visibility of the vehicle thereby increasing safety.

A vehicle access indicator (VAI) that allows a parked vehicle to display a placard showing a message and/or symbol indicating that the parked vehicle transports persons with limited mobility or a large object such as a wheelchair or infant car seat. The VAI comprises an elongated member with the placard at a distal end and securing means. The securing means allow the VAI to be removably or permanently attached to and extend outward from a side of a parked vehicle thereby indicating that minimal extra space is required between the parked vehicle and any other vehicle that parks next to the parked vehicle. Positioning means allow the elongated member and placard to extend perpendicularly straight outward from the side of a vehicle, raised upward or downward, or side-to-side from 0 to 90 degrees.

A mobile product manufacturing demonstration, apparatus and method is intended to cut through the clutter and rise above the noise of typical marketing language and tactics, replacing the same with demonstrable, real-world demonstrations of how a producer is making a difference in terms of environmentally conscious manufacturing and good environmental stewardship. The mobile product manufacturing demonstration, apparatus and method includes a vehicle for transportation between rural townships and urban centers which itself is preferably battery powered, hydrogen powered, or powered by some other environmentally friendly mechanism. On board is a plurality of display stations which allow the public to interact with and/or manipulate materials used in the recycling and/or manufacturing process. Thus, the consumers will be able to see, hear, and feel (through touch and/or manipulation) how the products are made from recycled or recyclable materials.

A vehicle banner assembly for displaying a banner on a vehicle includes a panel is comprised of a magnetic material to magnetically engage a ferromagnetic door of a vehicle. A pair of engagements is each coupled to the panel. Each of the engagements engages an upper edge of the door of the vehicle to retain the panel at a selected location on the door. A banner is coupled to the panel to facilitate the banner to be displayed on the door of the vehicle.

An illuminated-marking system for a lamp assembly includes one or more markings illuminated by an organic light emitting diode (OLED) panel. The markings may include an ink composition printed directly onto the OLED panel. A process for printing the ink composition includes printing one or more desired ink compositions onto the OLED panel.

A system for capturing and analyzing first-party data of a user. The user's first party data is received from a mobile software application and a self-driving vehicle equipped with digital content screens and intelligent sensors for capturing data. The data source shared between the vehicle and the software application would be owned by the same provider. Privacy concerns surrounding user data would be minimal because the provider would have exact sources for the data and approved usage rights directly from the user. The user first-party data will give the provider improved insights into that consumer's interests and needs, allowing the provider to provide digital content to the user personalized digital content on the digital content screens of the self-driving vehicle. The data collected from the user in or near the self-driving vehicle may be used to target the user on the provider websites, social media, or the mobile software application.

An advertising wing hitch frame connector is described. Embodiments of the connector include a first attach and detachable arm and a second attach and detachable arm each adapted to couple to an object. In one instance, the object may be a frame including a plurality of adjustable legs. In another instance, the object may be a modified trailer hitch.

A graphic, includes a substrate and a printed pattern disposed over the substrate. The substrate is configured to attach to a mounting surface, and is transparent. The printed pattern exposes a nonprinted pattern. The printed pattern is a geometric projection of a graphic design on the mounting surface from a first viewpoint, and the nonprinted pattern is a geometric projection of a transparency design on the mounting surface from a second viewpoint.

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.
