Provided is a beam-steering mechanism, comprising a lens and a light source positioned in a focal plane of the lens. One of the light source and the lens moves relative to the other of the light source and the lens. The light source outputs a light beam at the lens which forms an illumination spot on a surface from the light beam. The illumination spot moves in a direction in response to a movement of one of the light source and the lens.

A light diverting system for diverting light from a headlamp assembly of a vehicle includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A light diverting apparatus includes an actuator communicatively coupled to the processor and a light diverting member comprising a reflective surface configured to reflect light from a light source. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and adjust a position of the light diverting member using the light diverting apparatus based on the user instructions.

A cancellation device for an automotive feature on a vehicle includes a lever configured to be manually moved relative to the vehicle from a first, neutral position to a second, non-neutral position to actuate the automotive feature. The cancellation device also includes a detent pawl coupled to the lever such that the detent pawl moves with the lever, a detent spring configured to bias the detent pawl, a centering spring configured to bias the lever back to the first, neutral position, and a magnet configured to generate a force to hold the lever in the second, non-neutral position.

An adaptive light beam unit attachable to a vehicle including: At least one light engine assembly, wherein the at least one light engine assembly includes at least one light engine, the at least one light engine includes at least one light source and at least one reflector adapted to reflect light emitted from the at least one light source to form a light beam; At least one sensor for measuring angle of rotation of the vehicle; At least one motor connected to the at least one light engine assembly for changing a projection angle of the light beam; At least one controller operatively connected to the least one light engine assembly and the at least one sensor, whereby the at least one controller receives information on the angle of rotation of the vehicle, and drives the at least one electrical motor to maintain or alter the projection angle of the light beam such that a desired lighting positioning is obtained based on a pre-determined scenario.

A remotely controllable headlight assembly for use on a vehicle, the assembly comprising a circuit board including a plurality of LEDs including at least a first low beam LED, a first high beam LED and at least one additional LED, optic elements supported adjacent the LEDs on the circuit board, a processor and a remote communication module coupled to the processor, the remote communication module configured to receive commands from a wireless device, wherein the commands instruct the processor to illuminate the at least one additional LED, wherein the processor controls the at least one additional LED based on the received wireless commands.

The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp system for matching two images projected on a road surface in a case where one image is output in a divided manner by a left lamp and a right lamp in image projection on the road surface by vehicle lamps.

A method and system for controlling exterior lights on a vehicle. The method includes receiving an input indicative of a desired mode of operation of the exterior lights from a user-selectable input device. The user-selectable input device includes an on-setting, an off-setting, and an automatic-setting. The method further includes receiving sensor data indicative of a level of visibility outside the vehicle, comparing the sensor data to a threshold, and generating, by an electronic processor, a notification indicative of an improper positioning of the user-selectable input device when the sensor data indicates that the level of visibility is less than the threshold and the user-selectable input device is positioned in the off-setting.

The present invention relates to a work lighting (100) for a machine (200) for generating an adaptive working illumination, comprising a plurality of lighting means (10) arranged in the form of a light-emitting matrix (20) to generate the working illumination, and at least one central adjusting unit (60, 70, 80) for separately adjusting the working illumination of the individual lighting means (10) in the light-emitting matrix. The invention further relates to a machine (200) having a work lighting (100) according to the invention.

A vehicle lamp includes: a light source unit including at least one light source configured to generate light; a lens that is arranged closer to a front of the vehicle lamp as compared to the light source unit, the lens configured to transmit the light generated by the light source unit; and a shield that is arranged between the light source unit and the lens, and configured to receive the light generated by the light source and allow at least a portion of the received light to pass therethrough, wherein the shield includes a plurality of pixels having respective light transmittances that are configured to be variably controlled, and wherein each of the plurality of pixels is configured to allow independent control of respective light transmittances.

Provided is a beam-steering mechanism, comprising a lens and a light source positioned in a focal plane of the lens. One of the light source and the lens moves relative to the other of the light source and the lens. The light source outputs a light beam at the lens which forms an illumination spot on a surface from the light beam. The illumination spot moves in a direction in response to a movement of one of the light source and the lens.
