An equipment inspection system receives data captured by a sensor of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The captured data describes a current state of equipment for servicing the AV. The equipment inspection system compares the captured data to a model describing an expected state of the equipment. The equipment inspection system determines, based on the comparison, that the equipment differs from the expected state. The equipment inspection system may transmit data describing the current state of the equipment to an equipment manager. The equipment manager may schedule maintenance for the equipment based on the current state of the equipment.

A vehicle assembly includes a panel or mounting location, a speaker or microphone disposed within the panel for generating or detecting sounds and a cover disposed over the speaker. The cover includes a plurality of openings for the transmission of sound and a corresponding plurality of blockers at each of the plurality of openings. Each of the plurality of blockers includes a front face that is spaced apart forward of a corresponding one of the plurality of openings for blocking water intrusion.

A receiving system for receiving at least one guided device, in particular an electric unit, in an instrument mount of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to an electric module, which comprises a receiving system and a guided device, as well as a motor vehicle, which includes a receiving system or an electric module. The receiving system includes a receiving unit for spatially receiving the guided device in the receiving system, as well as a guide for implementing a guided slide-in movement of the guided device, in particular the electric unit, into the receiving unit. The guide is fixed in relation to the receiving unit and defines a nonlinear movement path, so that the guided device may be oriented in a first spatial orientation on an outside of the receiving system facing a driver of a motor vehicle.

A vehicle (10) for a driver (14) of the vehicle (10) and a display device (16) are provided. The display device (16) includes a projection surface (18) extending in the horizontal and vertical direction and a projector (20) that is configured so as to project a projection (24) onto the projection surface (18). The projection surface (18) is curved in the horizontal direction and surrounds the driver (14) in the horizontal direction by at least one hundred degrees. A method for displaying a projection (24) on a projection surface (18) for a driver (14) of a vehicle (10) is also provided. The method includes: d) determining a viewing direction and/or head orientation (26) of the driver (14) towards the projection surface (18); and f) projecting the projection (24) onto the projection surface (18) in the viewing direction and/or head orientation (26) of the driver (14).

A system for remote interaction with a pointing means of an aircraft cockpit display system, equipped with HMIs, includes three layers: a lower layer configured so as to receive wired electric power supply and data exchange connections; an upper layer comprising a hand-rest knob, at least one physical interaction means configured so as to interact on the pointing means for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit, and a module with a touch-sensitive flat surface configured so as to interact on the pointing device for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit and arranged in the extension of the hand-rest knob; and an intermediate layer configured so as to make it possible to modify the position of the upper layer.

Examples relate to a method for determining distance information of an object using a Time of Flight (ToF) system and to a ToF system. The method includes emitting modulated light towards the object using a light source. The method includes measuring a reflection of the modulated light using a ToF sensor module. The reflection of the modulated light is generated by successive reflections of the modulated light by the object and by an additional reflective surface. The method includes determining the distance information of the object based on the measured reflection of the modulated light.

A housing assembly for mounting at least one electric component in a vehicle is provided as a three-dimensional form having an internal volume, a general material wall thickness, a top wall, a side wall, and a front wall surface presenting the at least one mounted electrical component to an operator in the vehicle, the form mountable at one side to a first installation point on a substantially vertical utility task vehicle (UTV) dashboard cover surface through an opening in the top wall and, and an elongated bracket fixed at one end to the inside wall of the side wall of the three-dimensional form, and at a second bracket end extending out from the side wall and below the three dimensional form mounted to a second installation point on the UTV dashboard.

A display device for the interior of a vehicle includes: (i) a display unit, which is designed for optical display of information and has a display element for this purpose and which can be or is arranged in a longitudinal extension direction of the vehicle behind a front row of seats, preferably on a roof lining of the vehicle; (ii) a movement unit, which is designed to move the display unit, in particular with the display element pivoted away from the roof lining of the vehicle, in the longitudinal extension direction, in particular controllably, between various working positions and/or to hold the display unit in a given working position; and (iii) a control unit which is designed to control the movement unit in such a way that the display unit and the display element are arranged at a predetermined first distance or first distance range from an element of the front row of seats.

A glass substrate includes a pair of main surfaces including a first main surface and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface; an edge surface arranged along a direction orthogonal to the pair of main surfaces; and a connecting surface arranged between the first main surface and the edge surface. The connecting surface has a plurality of pores. A difference between a 50% particle diameter of the pores in a portion 20 μm distant from the first main surface and a 50% particle diameter in a portion 20 μm distant from the edge surface is 10 μm or less.
