A control unit (10) for an apparatus (12), the control unit (10) comprising a component-carrying member (14; 114; 18; 118) provided with at least one electronic component (30, 32, 34, 36, 38; 60, 62; 74, 78) configured to provide a function of the apparatus (12); wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit (10). The control unit is provided with an injection moulded layer (22; 22′) encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component (30, 32, 34, 36, 38; 60, 62; 74, 78).

A hat holder device for securing a billed hat to a surface. The hat holder device includes an upper wall attached to a lower wall, forming a bill pocket therebetween configured to slidably and removably secure a bill of the billed hat therein. The upper wall is attached to the lower wall by two attachment blocks, or enclosed stitching, and the upper wall is attachable to the surface by any suitable means, including clips, straps, and the like. The hat holder device is useful for securing the billed hat to a visor of a vehicle, a headrest of the vehicle, a backpack, an interior wall of a building, an exterior wall of the building, or any other surface.

Provided are a smart window, a sliding smart window, a smart window for a vehicle, a sun visor for a vehicle, a smart window device, and a head-mounted smart window device which have maximized user convenience.

A sun visor assembly used in a vehicle is disclosed. The sun visor assembly comprises a sun visor having at least one light intensity sensor for detecting sunlight or light intensity entering the vehicle. The sun visor further comprises a microprocessor for receiving a signal indicating detection of the light intensity entering the vehicle from the light intensity sensor. The sun visor further comprises at least one motor operatively coupled to the microprocessor. In response to the signal, the microprocessor instructs the at least one motor to position the sun visor to block the sunlight or light intensity sensor entering the vehicle.

Disclosed are a vehicle control method and an intelligent computing apparatus for controlling a vehicle. By obtaining action information of a driver, when a change in a gaze of a driver is recognized, displaying an image related to a direction different from a direction of the changed gaze of the driver through a display related to the direction of the gaze of the driver when a change in a gaze of a driver is recognized, it is possible to effectively assist the driver in driving by providing a lot of information related to a driving obstacle factor, and the driver can easily observe the information related to the driving obstacle factor. At least one of a vehicle, a user equipment, and a server of the present disclosure may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, and a device related to a 5G service.

A sliding thin visor for a vehicle comprising a pivot rod and a first and second shell being engagable to form a visor body. The visor comprises a rail extending from a surface of the first shell and a carrier slidably positioned in the visor body, wherein that carrier is engaged with the rail. The visor also may comprise a detent assembly having a generally mailbox shape attached to the carrier. The thin visor generally has a width of approximately seventeen to eighteen millimeters and allows for a clean small profile ergonomically designed visor to be arranged within a vehicle.

A remotely operated sun visor includes a first rotational mechanism, a second rotational mechanism, a sun visor body, a controller unit, and a power switch. The first rotational mechanism and the second rotational mechanism are perpendicularly positioned of each other in such a way that the first rotational mechanism is internally positioned along the sun visor body and the second rotational mechanism is internally positioned across the sun visor body. The sun visor body being torsionally connected to the first rotational mechanism so that the sun visor body can be rotated up and down, about an automobile windshield. The sun visor is torsionally connected to the second rotational mechanism so that the sun visor body can be rotated from the windshield to the side windows, about an automobile A-pillar. The first rotational mechanism and the second rotational mechanism are electrically connected to the power switch through the controller unit.

A control unit for an apparatus, the control unit comprising: a component-carrying member provided with at least one electronic component configured to provide a function of the apparatus; wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit; and a laminate encapsulation layer encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component. Optionally, the control unit comprises a second member which defines a user-interaction surface.

The present invention relates to vehicle accessories. Currently available vehicles, for example automobiles, cars, trucks and the like comprise a front visor configured to shade the driver and/or a passenger sitting in a front seat and protect them against dazzling light, for example sun rays.
