MOONROOF ACCESSORY PANEL
This disclosure describes a moonroof accessory panel. The moonroof accessory panel may be a structure that may be removably attached to a moonroof area of a vehicle. The moonroof accessory panel may be used to hold a drone associated with the vehicle such that the drone may take-off from and land on the moonroof accessory panel. The top of the moonroof accessory panel may also be accessible from the cabin of the vehicle such that a user may place the drone on top of the moonroof accessory panel while inside the cabin. The moonroof accessory panel may also be used for other purposes beyond holding drones as well.
DEFLECTOR STRUCTURE FOR SUNROOF DEVICE
Provided is a deflector structure for a sunroof device, including: a thin cloth member that extends in a tensioned state to smooth a drive airflow when a roof panel is opened, and is folded when the roof panel is closed; a housing section that houses the folded thin cloth member; a reinforcement member that is arranged on a lower side of a front portion of the roof panel to reinforce the roof panel; and an upper holder that is fixed to an upper end portion of the thin cloth member, and is housed together with the thin cloth member into the housing section when the roof panel is closed.
Sunshade For A Roof In A Vehicle, Vehicle Including The Sunshade, Method For Sun Shading In A Vehicle
A sunshade for a roof in vehicle, a vehicle, and a method for sun shading in a vehicle are provided. The sunshade includes a freely positionable sunshade element for the partial blocking of sunlight, which by sliding in a translucent opening in the roof can be positioned in such a manner that dazzling a person in the vehicle by sunlight irradiating through the opening can be prevented.
Moodroof for augmented media experience in a vehicle cabin
In various embodiments, a moodroof media application provides media content into a vehicle cabin. In operation, the moodroof media application determines at least one state associated with the vehicle cabin based on sensor data from at least one sensor. The moodroof media application then receives media content associated with the at least one state. The moodroof media application further causes visual content associated with the media content to be displayed on at least one display surface positioned on a ceiling of the vehicle cabin.
VEHICLE AND ROOF CONSTRUCTION INCLUDING A DISPLAY DEVICE FOR USE THEREIN
A vehicle having a roof construction, comprises a panel fitted in an opening in the fixed roof of the vehicle, and a headliner on the interior side of the fixed roof for hiding the fixed roof and stationary frame from view. At least one display device is capable of showing images from its display screen to occupants in the vehicle. A drive system is provided for moving the display screen at least into a storage position, and into an operational position in which the display screen is visible for occupants in the vehicle. The display screen is flexible and is moved, in its storage position, at least substantially into a cavity above the headliner and is thus substantially hidden from view.
Magnetic header design
A vehicle arrangement is provided including a vehicle body having at least a partially open top and transverse window with a ferromagnetic frame, a flexible membrane sunscreen cover for at least a portion of the vehicle. A magnetic member connected with the sunscreen cover holds an end of the cover with the window frame.
Method of wirelessly powering and controlling a dimmable device
A window apparatus of a vehicle includes a movable panel that selectively encloses an exterior opening of the vehicle. The movable panel includes an electro-optic apparatus configured to adjust in transmittance. A wireless connection interface includes a vehicle-side coupling module and a panel-side coupling module. The vehicle-side coupling module is in connection with a support frame of the vehicle forming an opening that receives the movable panel. The vehicle-side coupling module is aligned with an interface surface of the movable panel. The wireless connection interface communicates power or electrical signals from a transmission unit of the vehicle-side coupling module to a reception module of the panel-side coupling module.
AUGMENTED MEDIA EXPERIENCE IN A VEHICLE CABIN
Techniques for an augmented media experience in a vehicle cable include a first display surface positioned on a ceiling of the vehicle cabin, a second display surface positioned on the ceiling of the vehicle cabin, a memory storing a media application and a processor coupled to the memory. The first display surface is movable relative to the second display surface. The processor, when executing the media application performs the steps of deploying the first display surface to a deployed position where the first display surface is positioned between a first glass panel in a ceiling of the vehicle cabin and an interior of the vehicle cabin and displaying media content in the vehicle cabin using the first display surface and the second display surface.
METHOD OF WIRELESSLY POWERING AND CONTROLLING A DIMMABLE DEVICE
A window apparatus of a vehicle includes a removable panel that selectively encloses an exterior opening of the vehicle that includes an electro-optic apparatus. The electro-optic apparatus is configured to adjust a transmittance of the window. A wireless connection interface is in connection with an interface surface of the removable panel, wherein the wireless connection interface communicates power and/or electrical signals from the vehicle to the electro-optic apparatus.
MAGNETIC HEADER DESIGN
A vehicle arrangement is provided including a vehicle body having at least a partially open top and transverse window with a ferromagnetic frame, a flexible membrane sunscreen cover for at least a portion of the vehicle. A magnetic member connected with the sunscreen cover holds an end of the cover with the window frame.
