A charging system for wirelessly charging a smart device positioned over the charging system with a charger connectable to an electrical power source for charging the smart device, like a smartphone, and can be inserted inside a furniture through an opening located at its top surface; a fixing element compatible with the opening and affixed to the charger for maintaining the charger fixably engaged inside the opening below the top surface; and a removable cap for capping the fixing element. When the removable cap is made of a transparent material, the charging system is configured to provide an advertising message presented on a support affixable to the bottom surface of the transparent cap, the message being then visible through the transparent cap.

A vehicle is a movable body capable of traveling in a driver-operated mode and traveling in a driverless mode, and includes an advertisement display device and a controller. The advertisement display device is configured to switch between a first state to provide an advertisement outside of the vehicle and a second state to provide no advertisement outside of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control the advertisement display device to enter the first state during traveling in the driverless mode.

A status indicator device that is mountable to an object includes a flag that rotates between positions that expose indicators to provide an indication of a status of the object. The status indicator device includes a base upon which indicators are disposed. The indicators may be, e.g., stickers, decals, etc. that provide the status of the object. A flag is rotatably mounted to the base by an axis that is perpendicular to the base, so that the flag rotates with respect to the base within a plane that is parallel to the base. The flag rotates between two different positions at which different indicators are exposed. One or more flag stops may be used to stop the rotation of the flag at the desired position. A handle on the flag may be used to rotate the flag and may be configured to lock the flag in a desired position.

A plate carrier for carrying a license plate includes: a carrier body; two guide rails that are arranged on the carrier body and extend so as to be mutually parallel, and between which the license plate can be pushed in an insertion direction in order to be arranged on the plate carrier, the license plate being held between the guide rails when arranged on the plate carrier; and at least one resilient latching element that is arranged on the carrier body and that can be deformed elastically when the license plate is being arranged on the plate carrier, and that secures the license plate on the carrier body against movement in the insertion direction when the license plate is arranged on the plate carrier.

A media includes a frame and an e-paper display recessed relative to a portion of the frame.
