A method by which the position of a display panel or of a vehicle can be determined by broadcasting a message from a beacon associated with the display panel or the vehicle, receiving the broadcast message at a consumer device, determining the position of the consumer device when the message is received, and taking that position to be the position of the display panel or of the vehicle. If this is done with multiple messages and/or multiple consumer devices the position of the display panel or of the vehicle can be determined as a function of time.

A panel includes a first layer that is exposed to an exterior. The panel further includes a second layer that is located inward from the first layer. The panel further includes an intermediate layer that is located between the first layer and the second layer. The panel further includes a mask layer that is located between the first layer and the second layer. The mask layer has an opening that extends therethrough. The panel further includes a conceal layer that is located between the first layer and the second layer. The conceal layer is configured to change states to obscure the opening relative to the exterior.

A placard tool including a shaft having a distal end spaced from a proximal end, the shaft including a longitudinal axis A. A handle is positioned at the proximal end of the shaft. An elongated member is positioned at the distal end of the shaft. The elongated member includes a first end and an opposite a second end. The elongated member is offset in a first direction B from the axis A of the shaft defining an unequal length of the elongated member with reference to the axis A on the second end in comparison to the first end. The elongated member is offset in a second direction C from the axis A of the shaft positioning the elongated member on one side with reference to the axis A.

A pixel-technological display field for displaying changing motifs is attached to the outside of at least one component of a utility vehicle structure or is structurally integrated in to the at least one component. The display field has a multiplicity of separately controllable display pixels. In an embodiment the display field is self-luminous and produces a light emission that is less than +0.5 cd/m.sup.2 in comparison to an averaged, relative ambient light. In an embodiment the display field protrudes from an outer surface of the at least one component by less than 15 mm.

Please replace the Abstract of the Disclosure with the following paragraph: Provided is a vehicle projection device capable of properly displaying an image even when a door is opened. The vehicle projection device includes an opening and closing detection sensor that senses an opening and closing state of doors of a vehicle, a side mirror projector that performs a desired first projection display on an outer surfaces of the doors, and a control unit, and the control unit executes a variable projection process for changing a display state of the first projection display by the side mirror projector, based on a sensing result of the opening and closing state by the opening and closing detection sensor.

A cover finish assembly according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a cover part of which a front portion is covered with leather and in which an insertion hole is formed, a cap part which is inserted into the insertion hole from a front surface of the cover part and corresponds to an edge shape of the insertion hole, and an insertion part inserted into the cap part from a back surface of the cover part after the cap part is inserted into the insertion hole so that a front portion of the insertion part is exposed, and the cap part may be disposed between the cover part and the insertion part to finish a boundary of a cover part.

The digital placard is a sign for use with an intermodal freight container. The digital placard visibly displays hazard warnings from the intermodal freight container. The digital placard visibly displays a hazard warning image selected from one or more hazard warning images that are consistent with the hazard warning images required by the CMCSA regulations. The digital placard incorporates a frame structure and a display circuit. The display circuit mounts in the frame structure. The display circuit is an electric circuit that displays the hazard warning image selected from the one or more hazard warning images. The frame structure mounts on the intermodal freight container such that the selected hazard warning image is visible from the environment.

There is provided a badge adapted for a vehicle that includes a first portion formed from a first injection molded process of light transmissive material and a second portion formed from a second injection molded process of plateable material. The plateable portion provides a chrome exterior of trim. The first portion provides a light-through decoration where the light transmissive material is back lit with at least one lighting element.
