Abstract: This invention relates to a backlight panel for a panel display device, comprising a light pipe, at least one source of illumination and a diffuse reflector. The light pipe has a first boundary surface comprising a first substantially planar surface interrupted by a first pattern of discrete surface relief features for extracting light from the light pipe and for directing said extracted light at the diffuse reflector, and a second boundary surface comprising a second substantially planar surface interrupted by a second pattern of laterally elongate surface relief features, each comprising an inclined surface angled towards the light source for directing light internally reflected from the second boundary surface towards the first boundary surface at a correspondingly lower angle of incidence. The areal density of the first pattern varies across the first side and generally increases along the transmission direction.

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly for cooling of air includes a blower, an air duct and a heat exchanger integrated in a coolant circuit designed to allow coolant to flow therethrough and air to be applied to it. Heat from the air is transferred to the vaporizing coolant. The blower is arranged upstream of the heat exchanger in the airflow direction so that waste from the blower heats the air before reaching the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is designed as tubular heat exchanger with tubes arranged in rows having a double-row design. A method for operating a climate control system for a combined refrigeration system and heat pump operation for cooling and for heating, and a method for identifying and prevention of icing of the evaporator of the climate control system are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of forming a control panel include providing an electrically conductive substrate having a front surface. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the front surface of the substrate. A first electrode layer is disposed on a front surface of the first dielectric layer, wherein the first dielectric layer electrically isolates the first electrode layer from the substrate. The first electrode layer is in electrical communication with a switch circuit adapted to detect a change in a capacitance of the first electrode layer. A substantially transparent film can be provided to cover the electrode. The front surface of the substrate is a decorative surface substantially visible through the first dielectric layer, the first electrode layer, and the film.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a heads up display system for a vehicle interior that includes a light modifying panel configured to cyclically transition between a substantially light transmissive state that facilitates light passage through the light modifying panel and a partially reflective state that facilitates light reflection toward a occupant of a vehicle. The heads up display system also includes a pulsating light source configured to cyclically project an image onto the light modifying panel, and a controller configured to control the pulsating light source and the light modifying panel so that the image is projected onto the light modifying panel while the light modifying panel is in the partially reflective state.

Abstract: A system for adjusting a heads-up display (HUD) is disclosed herein. The system includes a forward looking light sensor receiver to logarithmically receive a first light information from a forward looking light sensor; and an adjuster to adjust a luminance of the HUD based on the first light information. A method or process may be employed in a similar fashion. The adjuster may be implemented by employing a lookup table, or by employing analog values to perform a transformation relied upon for the adjustment.

Abstract: A temperature door for an air handling system of a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system includes a first surface defining a sealing perimeter and a pivoting structure coupled to the first surface and defining an axis. The first surface is configured to pivot about the axis in the housing of the air handling system. A sealing lip is disposed about the sealing perimeter of the first surface and is adapted to engage a corresponding sealing surface of the housing of the air handling system. A pivoting of the first surface about the axis from a sealed position causes a progressive disengagement of the sealing lip from the sealing surface beginning in a location proximate the axis while at least a portion of the sealing lip remains engaged with the sealing surface at a location spaced from the axis.
