The device comprises a direction indicator arranged to indicate a desired light direction for one or more light sources, and a control unit arranged to read the indicated light direction from the direction indicator and, on the basis of the reading information, adjust one or more light sources to the indicated light direction by one or more drivers connected to the control unit. A method is for regulating the light direction of at least one light source on a movable means of transport. A use of a hand-held wireless pointing device is for regulating the light direction of at least one light source arranged on a movable means of transport. | 03-12-2015 |
| 20150146449 | VEHICLE LIGHT APPARATUS - A vehicle light apparatus is described herein that can be used to increase the visibility profile of a vehicle. The apparatus includes a base adapted to connect to a vehicle frame; a power supply; and an elongated light source supported by the base and coupled to the power supply. The elongated light source can extend above the vehicle frame with respect to a surface the vehicle is to traverse thereon. The elongated light source can also be configured to move upon experiencing pressure (e.g., from a rider's leg) and, upon removal of said pressure, return to its original position. | 05-28-2015 |
| 20160090022 | LIGHT-DEVICE MOUNTING STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE - A light-device mounting structure of a vehicle includes a headlight unit including a lamp housing accommodating a light source. Support shafts are provided in the lamp housing and are supported in a light cover. In the light-device mounting structure, the support shafts are covered with support-shaft protective members. The support-shaft protective members are engaged non-rotatably relative to the support shafts. The light cover has fitting holes, and the support shafts are fitted into the fitting holes through the support-shaft protective members. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160090032 | VEHICLE VISOR AND LIGHT ASSEMBLY - A vehicle sun visor is provided that includes a visor body having a first side and a second side, and a vanity and lighting assembly located on the visor body. The assembly includes a lighting device located on the visor body. The lighting device is configured to provide a vanity light for a vanity mirror and is further configured to provide a dome light. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160090033 | FLEXIBLE LIGHTING SYSTEM AND COMPONENT ILLUMINATED BY THE SYSTEM - A flexible lighting system includes a printed circuit board, a flexible multiple electrical conductor strip, a light source, and a flexible light conductor. The light source is mounted on the flexible multiple electrical conductor strip and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board by the flexible multiple electrical conductor strip. The flexible light conductor is mounted on the flexible multiple electrical conductor strip to conduct light from the light source. A component, such as, a gauge can have a display with a graphical element that is illuminated or backlit by the flexible light conductor. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160114720 | VEHICLE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM WITH ADAPTIVE LIGHT DISTRIBUTION - An adaptive headlight system for a vehicle uses an adaptive headlight controller which controls one or more headlights so as to illuminate a scene visible to a vehicle driver. The controller causes the headlights to generate a frame-region within the scene which outlines an object detected by an object-detection system carried by the vehicle. The frame-region is illuminated at a reduced level relative to the areas of the scene inside and outside the frame-region, thereby creating a dark/light contrast, visible to the driver, between the frame-region and the scene. If the object-detecting system indicates that the object is a living being, the frame-region is located to cover a head of the living being so as to avoid visually dazzling the being. | 04-28-2016 |
