BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY
An improved brake light assembly is a brake light with a housing and internal light emitting diodes for attachment in the back window of a vehicle that illuminates when the brake pedal is depressed. When the Light Emitting Diodes are illuminated, the words “No Texting” are formed.
Ground projection device for a motor vehicle
Floor projection device for a motor vehicle for producing at least one floor projection, wherein the floor projection device has an illuminant and a projection means, wherein the illuminant is configured to generate and at least partially emit light onto the projection means, wherein the projection means is configured to project the light which is emitted by the illuminant onto the projection means, in a state of the floor projection device integrated into the motor vehicle, onto a carriageway as a floor projection to the side of the motor vehicle, wherein the floor projection comprises at least two light segments separated from one another, wherein the illuminant has for this purpose at least two individually controllable light sources, wherein each light segment is assigned at least one light source, wherein the projection means has a focal point or a focal line, wherein at least one of the at least two light sources is arranged offset relative to the focal point or focal line of the projection means, wherein a first portion of the light is emitted along a first beam direction, which is directed directly onto the projection means, wherein a second portion of the light is emitted in a second beam direction, which is not directed directly onto the projection means, wherein the floor projection device has absorption means and/or deflection means, which are configured to at least partially absorb and/or deflect the second portion of the light such that the second portion of the light does not reach the projection means.
Vehicle position guidance system and vehicle position guidance method
A vehicle position guidance system includes a terminal position measurement section, a vehicle position measurement section, a calculator, and a guide. The terminal position measurement section measures a position of a terminal carried by a user. The vehicle position measurement section measures a position of a parked vehicle. The calculator obtains a route using position information related to the terminal and position information related to the parked vehicle. The guide assists the user in entering the vehicle by selectively using a first guidance and a second guidance depending on whether a distance is long or short between the terminal and the parked vehicle on the route. The first guidance provides guidance to the position of the parked vehicle using the terminal. The second guidance provides guidance to the position of the parked vehicle through a notification using a vehicle on-board device of the parked vehicle.
Vehicle lamp
A vehicle lamp includes a lamp chamber, an automatic operation marker lamp unit, and a sensor device. The lamp chamber includes a lamp body and an outer lens, and the automatic operation marker lamp unit and the sensor device are integrated in the lamp chamber. The automatic operation marker lamp unit informs surroundings that a vehicle is being driven automatically, and a sensor device detects information around the vehicle.
VEHICLE ILLUMINATION DEVICE
In a vehicle door mirror device, a projection device projects a graphic from a graphic film. The projection device is inserted into a cap in a state in which a holding tube of the cap has been inserted into a through hole in a visor, and the holding tube is held between a peripheral face of the through hole and a protrusion portion of the projection device. The projection device is thus installed at the visor in a manner retained by the cap alone. This thereby enables easy installation of the projection device to the visor.
Light emitting system, a design element, a rear view device, a covering device, and a body component of a vehicle
A light emitting system includes at least one light pipe, at least one light source disposed at least partially within an interior of the system, at least one mask, and a lens substantially enclosing the interior of the system, the at least one light pipe, and the at least one light source, the lens having an inner surface, an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface and at least one of a continuous transparent or translucent coating on the outer surface.
ROAD SAFETY WARNING SYSTEM FOR PEDESTRIAN
Process for warning a road user of another road user's presence on another side of an object situated therebetween, including: detecting a first road user on a first exterior side of the object, detecting a second road user on a second exterior side of the object, different from the first side, the first and second road users being detected to be moving or ready to move relative to the object; and signaling detection of the second road user to the first road user when the first and second road users are detected concurrently. Warning system including means for carrying out same. Vehicle including such a warning system and/or configured to implement such a process. Computer program including instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute such a process. Computer-readable medium, including instructions of same.
Illumination apparatus having a coherent light source and diffraction optical device that has a plurality of diffraction zones and widens the width of the illumination zone
An illumination apparatus that illuminates an illumination zone having a first direction and a second direction crossing the first direction is provided with a light source to emit a coherent light beam, and a diffraction optical device to diffract the coherent light beam incident from the light source. The diffraction optical device diffracts the incident coherent light beam so that a width of the illumination zone in the second direction gradually becomes wider along the first direction of the illumination zone from a nearer side to the diffraction optical device.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELECTRONIC MODULE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE
A system includes a module mounted to an exterior of a motor vehicle, the module having a camera mounted within the module, an indicator mounted within the module for optically communicating information external to the motor vehicle, and a module control. The module control unit includes a first microcontroller connected to the indicator for commanding the indicator to communicate information, a first data transmission device connected to the first microcontroller, and a power supply connected to the camera and the indicator for supplying power to the camera and the indicator. An external electronic control unit is disposed in the motor vehicle external to the module. A connection link is connected to the module and the external electronic control unit interleaves both data communication and power.
Vehicle head lamp
Each of a pair of left and right vehicle head lamps includes a plurality of optical units in a lamp chamber. A variable light distribution type optical unit that changes a light distribution mode of a high beam depending on a surrounding state and a traveling state of a vehicle is disposed in a first vehicle head lamp on a passenger seat side, and a figure drawing optical unit capable of forming a desired figure on a road surface in front of the vehicle by emitted light is disposed at a position symmetrical to the variable light distribution type optical unit in a second vehicle head lamp on a driver seat side.
