Device for a bicycle
A device 1 for a bicycle, the device comprising: an elongate member 2, the elongate member 2 having a first end 2a arranged to be connected to the handlebar of the bicycle and a second end 2b arranged to extend freely; at least one light source 6 arranged to illuminate at least a part of the elongate member 2; wherein the elongate member 2 is flexibly resilient such that, if a force causes the elongate member 2 to move from a first configuration to a second configuration, the elongate member 2 will return to the first configuration once the force is removed; wherein the elongate member 2 is of a length so as to extend outwardly beyond an end of the handlebar.
VEHICLE LIGHT
A vehicle light, wherein light to be emitted by a base light source which is offset with respect to an emission surface is first conducted radially outwards in targeted manner and is then reflected in an axial direction with respect to the emission surface, uses light-conducting bodies, which are spaced apart from a deflection mirror, or a light-conducting space, which extends first radially and then axially, to obtain as light-intensive, uniform and directional light emissions as possible.
Closing Device with Electrical Contact
A closing device for releasably connecting two parts includes a first closing part which has a first engaging projection, and a second closing part which has a second engaging projections. The first closing part and the second closing part can be attached to each other in order to close the closing device and, in a closed position, are interconnected mechanically by the first engaging projection and the second engaging projection is in engagement with each other in a positive locking manner in the closed position. A magnetic device acting between the first closing part and the second closing part is designed to assist the attaching of the first closing part and the second closing part to each other by providing a magnetic attraction force. The first closing part has at least one first electrical contact element and the second closing part has at least one second electrical contact element.

Vehicle lamp tool and method for controlling vehicle lamp tool
A vehicle lamp tool providing a controller which calculates the luminance distribution of light distribution pattern, an optical device which generates light distribution pattern in an illuminatable area D and a first driving circuit which drives the optical device. The controller transmits a first light distribution correction signal for correcting the inclination of a current light distribution pattern to the first driving circuit if the inclination angle of a vehicle with respect to vertical direction indicated by a detection signal received from a vehicle height sensor is equal to or less than a threshold value. The first driving circuit transmits a first correction driving signal based on the first light distribution correction signal to the optical device. The optical device drives an LD and a light deflector to correct the current light distribution pattern.

Systems and methods for illumination control and distribution during a vehicle bank
A bank angle of a vehicle can be accurately calculated using yaw axis data and roll axis data, and based on the calculated bank angle, vehicle illumination optics can be controlled to maintain a pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics to be generally horizontal. The calculated bank angle may be zeroed when the yaw axis data equals zero. The improved pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics illuminates a more natural field of view for the vehicle driver during a bank.
