    Abstract: A digital imaging system and method of image data processing are provided. The system includes a main lens configured to focus light from a field of view for a plurality of depths of field and project a plurality of intermediary images representing the depths of field. An image sensor assembly is in a spaced relationship with the main lens and includes a light sensors grouped into sensor sub-arrays. An intermediate microlens array is disposed between the main lens and the image sensor assembly and includes intermediate micro lenses adjacent to and abutting one another to focus the intermediary images onto one of the sensor sub-arrays from a different perspective than another adjacent micro lens. A control unit captures and stores image data associated with the intermediary images and creates a three-dimensional depth map. The control unit also calculates distance information of objects to detect a gesture or obstacle.

    Abstract: A vehicle system to produce audible sound includes at least one auxiliary motor to mechanically operate of a vehicle component based on a control signal and to produce an audible sound without mechanically operating the vehicle component, and a controller to output a motion control signal to control operation of the at least one auxiliary motor and to output an auditory control signal to actuate the at least one auxiliary motor to produce the audible sound. A waveguide is provided in communication with the at least one auxiliary motor and in sonic resonance with sound produced by the auxiliary motor to amplify and/or to modify the audible sound.

    Abstract: A motor vehicle light assembly includes a housing; a light source disposed in the housing, and a light-transmissive lens operably attached to the housing. A heater member is disposed between the housing and the light-transmissive lens. The heater member is configured to radiate heat emitted from the light source, with the heater member being routed to direct the radiated heat onto the light-transmissive lens to regulate the temperature of the light-transmissive lens to inhibit fogging, frosting and icing of the light-transmissive lens.
