A system such as a vehicle, an appliance, or a mobile phone can include an assembly featuring a decorative layer and a transparent display module. The decorative layer can include ink applied to a substrate. The transparent display module can be mounted to the decorative layer and include an array of pixels disposed behind an outer cover glass. The assembly can be configured such that when the display module is in a first mode, the decorative layer is visible from the cover glass and through the pixel array.

A state of a driver is detected more quickly. A state detection device according to an embodiment is provided with a first solid-state imaging device (200) provided with a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, the first solid-state imaging device that detects, according to a light amount incident on each of the pixels, occurrence of an event in the pixel, and a state detection unit (12, 15, 16) that detects a state of a driver on the basis of the occurrence of the event detected by the first solid-state imaging device.

A first filter transmits a portion of incident light that has a first dominant wavelength. A second filter transmits a portion of incident light that has a second dominant wavelength different from the first dominant wavelength. An illuminance detector detects a first illuminance of light transmitted through a first filter and a second illuminance of light transmitted through a second filter. A controller adjusts the luminance of an image display on a display device according to the first illuminance and the second illuminance detected by the illuminance detector.

The invention relates to a dynamic signaling system of the evolution of the braking maneuver that has visual proportionality with respect to the loss of speed of the vehicle, with fixed or programmed response sensitivity of the system in each braking maneuver, which enables visual proportionality and dynamic unambiguous representation of the variation of speed of the vehicle during braking. It can be applied with advantages to any type of vehicle, with an electric or hybrid combustion engine, with manual or automatic transmission. The system can be applied to both brake lights and the third brake light (high-mount brake light) indistinctly or jointly, further reinforcing the dynamic effect of attention and the transmission of information.

An electrical passenger car, the electrical passenger car including: at least two electrically driven motors; motor control electronics; sensors; and wheels, where the wheels include a first wheel and a second wheel, where the second wheel has a radius at least 7% greater than a radius of the first wheel, and where the motor control electronics control the at least two electrically driven motors to provide a greater torque to the second wheel than to the first wheel.

The application relates to a wheel with a sound absorption device, wherein the sound absorption device is arranged in a wheel air chamber to reduce acoustic resonance, the sound absorption device comprises two resonance sound absorption structure units which are connected in parallel, a first sound absorption frequency band of a first resonance sound absorption structure unit and a second sound absorption frequency band of a second resonance sound absorption structure unit are adjacent to each other or partially overlap with each other, and the resonance frequency of the wheel air chamber is contained at the adjacent part of the first sound absorption frequency band and the second sound absorption frequency band or in the overlapping area of the first sound absorption frequency band and the second sound absorption frequency band.

A light refraction member includes an incident surface on which planar light is incident, a plurality of refractors that refract the planar light, and an emitting surface from which the planar light refracted by the plurality of refractors is emitted as emitted light. The plurality of refractors are provided side by side in a first direction on at least one of the incident surface and the emitting surface, and each of the plurality of refractors has an area in which a direction in which the planar light is refracted changes along a second direction intersecting the first direction.

A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

An energy-store floor assembly for an electrically drivable passenger car, the energy-store floor assembly having a floor assembly, on the bottom side of which an energy storage device of an electric drive of the passenger car is fixed. Lateral side receptacles, in the region of which a separate fastening point is located to which the energy storage device can be fastened, are positioned on the floor assembly. A modular system for manufacturing such an energy-store floor assembly is provided.

A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.
