An energy harvesting vehicle includes a plurality of vehicular panels, and an energy canopy. The energy canopy is connected to at least two of the plurality of vehicular panels configured for generating electrical energy. The energy canopy includes a predetermined number of surfaces configured for receiving incident light, the incident light being received for a plurality of time durations. At least one of the predetermined number of surfaces includes a solar unit configured for harvesting the incident light. A predetermined number of solar units are positioned on a portion of the predetermined number of surfaces. The predetermined number of surfaces are connected in one of a series connection and a parallel connection with each other. The one of the series connection and the parallel connection between the predetermined number of surfaces are configured for improving an energy conversion efficiency of the energy canopy, through enhanced harvesting of the incident light.

The present disclosure refers to a base assembly of an exterior rear view device. The base assembly is configured to be mounted to a vehicle in a way that moveably supports a head assembly of the exterior rearview device. The base assembly comprises: a camera with a lens, a cleaning system with a nozzle for dispensing cleaning fluid onto the lens, a base frame, a base cover that comprises a plurality of cover pieces, and a camera cradle.

An electrical power module and transport refrigeration system. The electrical power module is used for an apparatus powered by a battery or/and a fuel, has a working mode and includes: a DC buck module configured to step-down a DC at least provided by the battery to a low-voltage output DC for output, or/and a DC boost module configured to step-up a low-voltage input DC provided by the apparatus powered by the fuel to a high-voltage DC for output; and a control module connected to a transport refrigeration unit, and configured to, in the working mode, control the operation of the DC buck module or/and the DC boost module.

A method of determining a target path according to a source electronic control unit (ECU) mounted on a vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining state information of a plurality of paths connecting the source ECU with a destination ECU, selecting the target path for target data from among the plurality of paths based on the state information, and transmitting the target data to the destination ECU through an ECU located on the selected target path, the state information including information about at least one of power consumption of an ECU located on the paths, a temperature of the ECU located on the paths, a latency of the paths, and a transmission success rate of the paths.

A jump starter device can include sensors to measure data of a vehicle coupled to the jump starter device. The jump starter device can include a controller configured to process the load data to determine the status of the load, such as the conditions of the vehicle connected to the jump starter.

A system and a method for charging a mobile device in a vehicle are provided. A method, performed by an electronic device, for controlling a wireless charging device in a vehicle includes: identifying at least one mobile device in the vehicle; obtaining state information of the identified mobile device; obtaining state information of the vehicle; and controlling power of a plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on a state of the mobile device and a state of the vehicle.

A power supply control device controls power supply to a load through a power supply switch. A driving circuit switches on or off the power supply switch. When the driving circuit switches the power supply switch from off to on, a waveform value regarding the current waveform of a current that flows through the load is output by a waveform value detection unit to a microcomputer. The microcomputer determines power supply control conditions regarding control of power supply to the load based on the waveform value that is input from the waveform detection unit.

An electronic board includes a board, and includes on the board: a power input part inputting power output from an in-vehicle power supply; a drive circuit driving a drive source; a controller controlling driving of the drive source performed by the drive circuit; and a drive command signal input part inputting a drive command signal transmitted from outside. The electronic board further includes on the board: a drive command signal detection circuit capable of detecting the drive command signal, and controlling whether to supply the power input to the power input part to the controller based on whether the drive command signal is detected.
