    摘要: The invention relates to an arrangement including an LED pixel matrix and a driver circuit for controlling the LED pixel matrix, wherein each LED pixel is formed from a dipole made up of two LEDs connected anti-parallel. The LED pixel matrix includes at least one row and multiple columns of the dipoles forming the LED pixel, and the dipoles are connected with a first connection to a shared line. The shared line is connected to a node between a second connection of a first controllable switch assigned to the rows and to a first connection of a second controllable switch assigned to the row. A first connection of the first switch assigned to the row is connected to a first connection of the arrangement, and a second connection of the second switch assigned to the row is connected to a second connection of the arrangement.

    摘要: An appearance light module for motor vehicle headlamp comprises at least one light source and one secondary optical element. The secondary optical element has an intake geometry with an entry surface for the light generated by the at least one light source, and an emission geometry with an exit surface for the light passing through the entry surface of the intake geometry. The exit surface of the emission geometry can be seen from outside the motor vehicle when the headlamp is installed in the motor vehicle. The appearance light module is not suitable for generating a low beam light distribution or a high beam light distribution. The appearance light module has no primary optical element, and the light from the at least one light source reaches the entry surface of the secondary optical element without being reflected and without passing through a refractive or diffractive optical element.

    摘要: A motor control system determines an operating point for controlling an electric motor in an electric system that includes a battery and an electronic control unit. The motor control system includes a calibrator having an input for receiving a battery voltage of the battery, a motor speed, and a requested torque of the electric motor. The calibrator calculates a modified speed based on the received battery voltage, motor speed and requested torque. An operating point controller has an input for receiving a fixed battery voltage reference, the modified speed and the requested torque. The operating point controller determines the operating point for controlling the electric motor based on the received fixed battery voltage reference, the modified speed, and the requested torque.

    摘要: A method for operating a light-based driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, wherein via at least one headlight of the motor vehicle, a light distribution is projected onto the roadway in front of the motor vehicle. The light distribution produces a lane marking, the width of which is essentially equal to the vehicle width of the motor vehicle and the course of which corresponds to a predicted lane course when the motor vehicle is driving. The method steps are carried out continuously when driving through a curve: predicting the lane course when driving through the curve, determining the point of intersection of the inner lane boundary with the light field limitation of a light field projectable onto the roadway when driving through the curve, setting a distal boundary of the lane marking, and projecting a light distribution onto the roadway in front of the motor vehicle.
