    摘要: An automated driving enabled vehicle includes a travel controller, an automated driving indicator lamp, and a lamp controller. The travel controller controls travel of the vehicle while switching a travel control state between automated driving and manual driving. The automated driving indicator lamp is switched on perceptibly from outside the vehicle on the occasion of the automated driving. The lamp controller makes a control to switch on the automated driving indicator lamp to indicate that the travel control state is the automated driving, during execution of the automated driving in which the travel controller controls the travel of the vehicle by the automated driving. The lamp controller changes, during the execution of the automated driving, a lighting state of the automated driving indicator lamp in response to a change in the travel control state or a change in travel environment, or both.

    摘要: A method for operating an optoelectronic semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a first optoelectronic semiconductor chip for generating, for example, blue light, an optional second optoelectronic semiconductor chip for generating, for example, green light, and a third optoelectronic semiconductor chip for generating, for example, red light. The semiconductor device also includes a driver unit which supplies the semiconductor chips with current during operation. The third semiconductor chip is operated on the basis of a temperature-brightness characteristic curve stored in the driver unit. The temperature-brightness characteristic curve is configured for a minimum color location deviation over an intended operating temperature range, relative to at least one reference color location.

    摘要: A variable geometry light source and related method for illumination comprises a dense array of micro light emitting diodes (LED) incorporated within a printed circuit board and controlled by an incorporated microcontroller. The microcontroller receives user input and causes the dense array to illuminate according to the input. A tunable lens operates to focus the LED illumination toward one or more specific target subjects creating a variable geometry light projection. The microcontroller is configured with instructions which cause the dense array to produce a variety of shapes, intensities, and color temperatures tailored to the individual installation. The microcontroller causes the dense array to create a light projection suitable for illumination of a subject as well as a dynamic projection animated for a communication to the viewer.

    摘要: A system for capturing person-related accident data in a vehicle, comprising at least one camera for capturing image data of at least one vehicle occupant, the camera being designed as a high-speed camera, a circular memory for storing the captured image data, and a control unit, which is designed to receive an accident commencement signal. The control unit controls the circular memory and/or the camera in such a way that the storing of the image data is ended at the end time, the end time lying after the receipt of the accident commencement signal by a predefined time interval. The person-related accident data comprise at least the image data stored in the circular memory.
