Embodiments of thermally and chemically strengthened glass-based articles are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the glass-based articles may include a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t), a first CS region comprising a concentration of a metal oxide that is both non-zero and varies along a portion of the thickness, and a second CS region being substantially free of the metal oxide of the first CS region, the second CS region extending from the first surface to a depth of compression of about 0.17•t or greater. In one or more embodiments, the first surface is flat to 100 μm total indicator run-out (TIR) along any 50 mm or less profile of the first surface. Methods of strengthening glass sheets are also disclosed, along with consumer electronic products, laminates and vehicles including the same are also disclosed.

A pneumatic shade includes a plurality of slats, a plurality of first fold members, and a plurality of second fold members. Each slat is elongated and includes and spans laterally between opposite longitudinal edges. Each of the first- and second-fold members are elongated and co-extend longitudinally with the slats. Each first fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of the respective adjacent slats. Each second fold member is attached to longitudinal edges of respective adjacent slats and are alternatingly orientated with respect to the first fold members such that each slat spans laterally between a respective first fold member and second fold member. Each of the first fold members and the second fold members are adapted to move between a folded state and an unfolded state upon application of pressurized air.

A working machine includes a machine body an operator seat mounted on the machine body, a front working device swingable upward and downward, the front working device being provided forward of the operator seat and on one side in a machine-width direction eccentric with respect to a central portion of the operator seat, and a front guard provided forward of the operator seat. The front guard includes a first frame member provided forward of the operator seat and on the one side, and a second frame member provided forward of the operator seat and on another side opposite to the one side, the first frame member includes a main rod portion defining upper and lower portions of the first frame member, extending between the upper and lower portions of the first frame member, and provided rearward of the front working device, and the main rod portion is formed to be positioned in a machine fore-and-aft direction closer to the operator seat than the second frame member.

A sensor-cleaning apparatus includes an upper piece, a lower piece fixed to the upper piece, a plurality of inserts inserted into the upper piece, and a plurality of nozzles. The upper piece and the lower piece form a tubular segment that is elongated along an arc of a circle and encloses a chamber. Each nozzle is formed of the upper piece and one of the inserts. Each nozzle includes a deflection surface and a tunnel from the chamber to the deflection surface, and each tunnel is partially formed of the upper piece and partially formed of the respective insert.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for use in a vehicle, comprising determining a distance of a predetermined gesture from a reference location within a vehicle, and initiating an operation responsive to the gesture, wherein a mode of the operation is determined based upon the distance of the gesture from the reference location.

A shade arrangement for vehicles, in particular for a side window of a car door, the shade arrangement including a roll up blind web that is movable from a pulled in position into a shading pulled out position; a winding shaft at which the roll up blind web is attached with a first edge; a pull out profile at which the roll up blind web is attached with a second edge; a first drive which actuates the winding shaft for rolling up the roll up blind web; a lifting rod which is removably attachable at the pull out profile; a second drive through which the lifting rod arranged at the pull out profile moves the roll up blind web in a linear motion between the pulled in position and the pulled out position.

An automated sunshade assembly includes a cylinder positioned within a dashboard of a vehicle has the cylinder extending along a windshield of the vehicle. The cylinder has a slot extending into an interior of the cylinder and the slot being directed toward the windshield. A rod being rotatably disposed within the cylinder and a pair of drive units each of the drive units engages the rod for rotating the rod in a first direction or a second direction. A shield is rolled around the rod and the shield extends outwardly through the slot in the cylinder such that the shield is directed toward the windshield. The shield being driven upwardly to cover the windshield and the shield is retracted into the cylinder for storage. Furthermore, the shield is comprised of an opaque material to inhibit sunlight from passing into the vehicle from the windshield when the shield covers the windshield.

A drive device for a shade for vehicles, the drive device comprising a slider that is movable between a first position and a second position; a rope at which the slider is attached and configured to move the slider between the first position and the second position; a rod mounted at the slider and supported by the slider along a movement path of the rod; a deflection device that deflects the rope coming out of the slider in a first direction into a second opposite direction and that is arranged laterally from the movement path of the rod; a housing in which the deflection device is arranged; a support or guide tube in which the slider is movable and which is arranged at the housing; and a return device which displaces the rope that is deflected into the opposite direction in a direction towards the movement path of the rod.
