    Abstract: An input knob for use with a touch screen device includes stationary and moveable members. The stationary member adheres to a touch screen of the device. The moveable member moves relative to the stationary member, and is secured to the surface via the stationary member. The moveable member produces touch events on the touch surface as bits of data in response to movement of the moveable member. The moveable member may include a rotary encoder. The stationary member may include conductive pads in contact with the surface and in selective contact with a conductive mass of the moveable member. The moveable member may be ring-shaped, removeable and repositionable with respect to the surface, and/or constructed of or coated by dielectric materials. The knob may lack a direct hardwired electrical connection to or through the surface. A display system includes the touch screen device and knob.

    Abstract: A method for determining a driving route of a vehicle includes accessing a map database describing a road network of intersecting roads, the map database having a structure including of a plurality of road section data of at least a single road. The method also includes assigning attributes corresponding to an automated driving mode of the vehicle to the road section data associated with the map database. The method also includes determining an automated driving route for the vehicle from a predetermined position to a predetermined destination based on the attributes relating to the automated driving mode of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A system for a vehicle may include a laser driver configured to produce a laser. The system may also include phased array optics provided at an output of the laser driver. The phased array optics may receive the laser. As such, the phased array optics may be within a pathway of the laser. The system may further include a controller configured to control the laser driver and the phased array optics to provide a variable field of vision pattern for a vehicle.

    Abstract: A system and method for highly automated driving of a vehicle to detect and classify pedestrians and traffic signs and other vehicles are provided. The system includes an on-vehicle camera for receiving image data. A location determining module is also on the vehicle to determine a location of the vehicle and a vehicle memory unit on the vehicle storing at least one particularized convolutional neural networks to process the image data. A vehicle processor is communicatively coupled to the vehicle memory unit and the camera and the location determining module and is configured to collect vehicle location data with the location determining module. The vehicle processor is also configured to process the image data using the at least one particularized convolutional neural network based the vehicle location data and environmental conditions around the vehicle to detect and classify pedestrians and traffic signs and other vehicles.

    Abstract: A system includes a switch-mode power supply for drawing low and constant current from a power source. The switch-mode power supply may charge an energy storage element with low and constant current. In a normal condition, a current driver may cause the illuminator to emit electromagnetic radiation as a plurality of flashes. In the normal condition, the system may include an average power that is less than or equal to a threshold value associated with the illuminator. In a fault condition, the illuminator may continuously emit electromagnetic radiation, at low current. In the fault condition, the switch-mode power supply may supply low and constant current to the illuminator. Similarly, in the fault condition, the system may include an average power that is less than or equal to a threshold value associated with the illuminator.

    Abstract: A head up display may include a combiner having a semi-transparent mirror to reflect light projected by a head up display light source. A dimmable element may be disposed adjacent to the combiner and opposite the semi-transparent mirror. The dimmable element may be configured to reduce the transmission of light reflected by the combiner through the dimmable element. The dimmable element may include a control system configured to reduce the transmission of light reflected by the combiner according to a plurality of light transmission reduction steps and may include a feedback control system configured to adjust the transmission of light through the dimmable element based on at least a light sensor and a light source measuring light transmission through the dimmable element.

    Abstract: A user interface and a method for the inputting and outputting of information in the vehicle includes an image generation unit which generates a projected image. A means for gesture recognition is arranged as a means for detecting an input, and that a means for view detection and following is arranged such that the recognition of the viewing direction and an association of the viewing direction of the driver with an area in the vehicle is carried out. Information about this area is generated in the viewing direction in the form of a projected image and is displayed floating over the area. Recognition of gestures of the driver is carried out. Upon a coincidence of a position of a hand of the driver, detected by the gesture recognition, with the projected image or a component of the projected image, a signal is generated by the central control unit and outputted.
