    摘要: An inventive rearview mirror assembly is disclosed in which a microwave antenna is mounted so as to receive transmissions from one or more satellites through the front windshield of the vehicle. The microwave antenna may be tuned to receive satellite transmissions from a position identification system constellation of satellites, such as GPS or GLONASS. Additionally, the microwave antenna may be tuned to alternatively or additionally receive transmissions from at least one communication satellite, such as a CD radio satellite. In addition to the inventive rearview mirror assembly, an inventive electrical control system is disclosed that may be used as a navigation system, an electrochromic rearview mirror control system, a head lamp control system, a tire pressure monitoring and display system, a temperature sensing and display system, a vehicle compass system, a vehicle data recorder system, and/or a vehicle odometer verification system. In each of the above systems, new parameters are made available by the microwave antenna to perform control operations not previously performed.

    摘要: A control system for a plurality of electrochromic elements, for example, used in automobiles, to control the glare of the IEC elements used as a rearview mirror (20) as well as the OEC elements (24, 26) used as sideview mirrors (24, 26). The IEC element and each of the OEC elements is provided with an individual drive circuit (21, 22). The drive circuits for the OEC's elements may be customized to account for various factors such as the type of curvature as well as the size and shape. Since individual drive circuitry is provided for the IEC elements and each of the OEC elements, the reflectance of each of the electrochromic elements (20, 24, 26) can be relatively accurately controlled by way of glare signal from inside the automobile.

    摘要: A vehicle having instrumentation indicative of parameters associated with the operation of the vehicle, which instrumentation includes variable intensity light emitting elements whereby the instrumentation will be appropriately displayed to the vehicle operator. A light sensing control system is provided for sensing varying light level conditions and generating corresponding electrical signals indicative of the varying light levels. The control system is responsive to the electrical signals and effective to vary the intensity of the light emitting elements over a range as a function of the varying light levels so that the instrumentation will remain visible to the vehicle operator, but not at a distracting brightness to the vehicle operator, during variable light level conditions. Another feature of the invention is the provision of a control for adjusting the intensity of the light emitting elements independently of glare causing light levels.
