    摘要: Systems and methods provide technology for a tunable vehicle window system to adjust a view for a window. The technology includes a window assembly comprising a tunable optical metamaterial deployed on a surface of a window, the tunable optical metamaterial including a transparent electroactive substrate having disposed thereon an optically active particle array, the optically active particle array including resonators having elongated members arranged in two or more orientations. The technology includes a controller to receive a signal from a photosensor indicative of a condition of incoming light to the vehicle, determine a change in a view for the window assembly based on the received photosensor signal, and control a voltage applied to the substrate to selectively expand or contract the substrate within a plane substantially parallel to the window surface and in a manner to adjust the view for the window assembly according to the determined view change.

    摘要: A vehicle includes one or more low load devices and a plurality of magnetic sensors operable between a misalignment detection mode for measuring a magnetic field of a power transmitting pad and obtaining magnetic field data, and a power receiving mode for wirelessly transmitting energy from the power transmitting pad to the one or more low load devices. The vehicle also includes one or more processors and one or more memory modules including a computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive the magnetic field data from the plurality of magnetic sensors, and estimate a lateral misalignment of the plurality of magnetic sensors with respect to a magnetic axis of the power transmitting pad.

    摘要: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to controlling display attributes within a visual interface for enhancing stimuli and responses of a user. In one embodiment, a method includes selecting display attributes related to a first layer of an image and a second layer of the image, and the first layer includes a symbol, the second layer represents a background of the symbol, and the image is associated with an interface to control a component. The method also includes oscillating, at first multiple of a frequency, between first values of the display attributes representing colors that are different for displaying the first layer, and the colors changing by a duty cycle associated with the first multiple of the frequency. The method also includes oscillating, at a second multiple of the frequency, between second values for displaying the second layer in parallel with the first layer until detecting a selection associated with the interface.
