Apparatus are provided for a sensor platform. The sensor platform includes a sensor mount adapted to receive a sensing device, and a first articulation system that has a first rotational axis. The sensor platform includes a second articulation system that has a second rotational axis, and the second rotational axis is different than the first rotational axis. The sensor platform includes a base that supports the first articulation system, the second articulation system and the sensor mount. The first articulation system and the second articulation system are independently movable to define two degrees of freedom for positioning the sensor platform.

Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a movement of a sensor platform. The method includes receiving a desired position of the platform from a source. The desired position includes a first coordinate value and a second coordinate value. The method includes, based on the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value, calculating, by a processor, a first value associated with a first axis of rotation of the platform and calculating a second value associated with a second axis of rotation of the platform. The method includes outputting, by the processor, one or more control signals to at least one motor associated with the platform to move the platform based on the first value and the second value.

According to a vehicle display system, a mobile terminal apparatus includes: a primary-screen-view display section that displays an output screen-view generated with execution of an application on the mobile terminal apparatus as a primary screen-view; a conversion section that converts the primary screen-view into a secondary screen-view complying with a vehicle apparatus; a manipulation layer generation section that generates a manipulation layer to manipulate the application; a state layer generation section that generates a state layer indicating a state of the mobile terminal apparatus; and a transmission section that transmits the secondary screen-view, the manipulation layer, and the state layer to the vehicle apparatus. The vehicle apparatus includes a secondary-screen-view display section that displays the manipulation layer and the state layer on the vehicle apparatus itself together with the secondary screen-view.

A device for mounting an audio speaker in a vehicle includes a clip and a pin. The clip includes an engaging plate, a first engager provided on a first side of the engaging plate, a first lock provided at an end of the first engager on an side opposite to the engaging plate, a second engager provided on a second side that is opposite to the first side of the engaging plate, and a second lock provided at an end of the second engager on a side opposite to the engaging plate. The pin includes a shaft and the first engager has a concave portion that receives the shaft of the pin.

A vehicle interior component includes an interior component body arranged along a vehicle body member with a face thereof exposed to a vehicle room and a display unit arranged at the interior component body to perform displaying for a passenger. The display unit includes a light source to radiate light to the interior component body from a back face side thereof, a transmissive section to perform displaying to be visible from a front face side of the interior component body by being transmissively illuminated with light from the light source as being formed by thinning a region of the interior component body, and a reinforcing member arranged on the back face side of the interior component body to reinforce the transmissive section.

Present systems and methods are directed to a ride system that includes a personal electronic device (PED) holding system for a ride vehicle. The PED holding system includes a lock that is configured to move from an unlocked configuration to a locked configuration to lock a PED of a passenger of the ride vehicle to the ride vehicle during a ride cycle. The PED holding system also includes a charging system that is configured to charge an energy storage component of the PED during the ride cycle.

The present invention relates to a head-up display device with reflection sheet, the only component left on the windshield after being detached is a simple transparent sheet by using the detachable structure, so as to reduce line-of-sight obstruction for drivers to get a better field and quality of view, to thereby improve driving safety.
