20120212133 | Lighting device for vehicles - A lighting device for vehicle lights is provided that includes, but is not limited to LEDs arranged in a combined parallel/series circuit. A first photodiode is used to recognize the lighting of a first LED and a second photodiode is provided to recognize the lighting of a second LED of the plurality of LEDs. | 08-23-2012 |
20130121011 | VEHICLE LAMP WITH LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE AS LIGHT SOURCE - A vehicle lamp having a housing and an illumination unit arranged within the housing is provided. The illumination unit comprises at least one light-emitting diode as light source. The at least one light-emitting diode is thermally coupled to a cooling element. The cooling element has a surface region arranged within the housing. On the surface region a decorative element is arranged. | 05-16-2013 |
20130127341 | LIGHTING DEVICE OF A VEHICLE - A lighting device of a vehicle is provided. The lighting device comprises a light fitting, which comprises a first and a second light source with different color locations. Furthermore, the lighting device has a first sensing module, which senses the actual value of the color location of the light fitting. In addition, the lighting device comprises a set value generator module which presets a set value for the color location of the light fitting, and a control module which reduces the difference between set value and actual value by means of an actuator module. Here, the set value of the color location of the light fitting is dependent on a driving situation of the vehicle or a personalized driving setting. | 05-23-2013 |
20130188374 | MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLAMP - A method for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle having a control means for performing the method are provided. The method includes automatically changing a light-related variable of the headlamp in a stationary state-driving state of the motor vehicle. | 07-25-2013 |
20130258696 | Light diffuser for a headlamp - A light diffuser for a vehicle headlamp having a plurality of light sources that each is arranged inside a reflector is provided. The light diffuser is capable of representing a light-dark boundary of the low beams generated by the light sources without interruption, and is capable of diffusely scattering the daytime running lights emitted by the light sources so as to generate a homogenous exit of light for the light sources. | 10-03-2013 |
20130334424 | NIGHT VISION SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A night vision system for a motor vehicle is provided. The night vision system includes an infrared-light-emitting LED assembly. The infrared-light-emitting LED assembly is adapted to emit a bundled infrared beam and has a deflecting means for periodically moving the infrared beam through a predefined solid angle range. The night vision system further includes a sensor responsive in a wavelength range of the infrared beam. | 12-19-2013 |
20140016334 | HEADLIGHT SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A headlight system is provided for a motor vehicle and includes, but is not limited to at least one light source and beam-forming apparatus for generating the main light beam with an essentially horizontal cut-off line and a marker light beam within a limited azimuth angle range above the cut-off line of the main light beam. The beam-forming apparatus are switchable between at least two stationary states that differ from each other in the progression of an upper cut-off line of the marker light beam. | 01-16-2014 |
20140177247 | EXTERIOR LIGHT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A LIGHT - A light is provided and a method is provided for manufacturing a light, with a carrier element, an illuminating device disposed on the carrier element with a circuit board and an illuminant mounted on the circuit board, and an optic. The one of the optics and the carrier element comprises at least one positioning element, which passes through an opening in the circuit board and engages in a recess in the other of the optics and the carrier element. | 06-26-2014 |
20140247613 | METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE LIGHTING RANGE OF A VEHICLE HEADLAMP - A method for adjusting the lighting range of a headlamp in a motor vehicle, is performed with the following steps. A first coordinateis acquired that corresponds to a position of the motor vehicle. At least one image of a camera connected with the motor vehicle is evaluated so as to acquire a second coordinate that corresponds to the position of an object on a roadway in the zone ahead of the motor vehicle. A reference angle is calculated for the motor vehicle from the first coordinate, the second coordinate and a height of the camera over the roadway. The lighting range of the headlamp is adjusted based on the reference angle. | 09-04-2014 |
