    摘要: A monitoring circuit and a method for function monitoring is disclosed where the device includes the input being connected with a first subassembly that detects a frequency range of the status signal, with the first subassembly being connected with a second subassembly to implement a logical signal combination. The second subassembly is connected with a third subassembly generating a delayed output signal. The method compares a frequency fsw of the status signal with a lower first cutoff frequency f1 and an upper second cutoff frequency f2. When the frequency fsw of the status signal is located within the predetermined frequency range, the functional reliability signal is provided with a first voltage level, and when the frequency fsw of the status signal is located outside of the predetermined frequency range, the functional reliability signal is provided with a second voltage level that is different from the first voltage level.

    摘要: A light device, especially a signal lamp, for motor vehicles, comprising a carrier housing covered by a translucent cover, and an inner chamber in which at least one primary optical assembly is housed, and comprising a planar light guide to guide the light generated by a lighting unit. The light guide surface comprises a front output surface to emit light rays out of the light device and an input surface to bind light rays produced by the lighting unit. The light guide surface includes, on its side facing away from the front output surface, at least one reflective surface configured to direct light rays to, and through, the output surface out of the planar light guide to create, on the front output surface, an output light region with a light intensity which differs from light intensity shown by places adjacent to the region on the front output surface.

    摘要: The invention relates to an optical system comprising two rows of light sources (1a, 1b) formed by LEDs. In each case, the entire row of light sources (1a, 1b) is arranged on one side of a double-sided printed circuit board (2) and each source (1a, 1b) in each row is associated with its own reflector (3a, 3b), whereby in front of the two rows of reflectors (3a, 3b) is arranged one optical filter (4), which is common to the two rows of reflectors (3a, 3b) and on whose output surface are provided pads (5) which are divided into two groups (51, 52), whereby each group (51, 52) is adapted to refract the light beams (6a, 6b) from the respective row of light sources (1a, 1b) to the direction (x) of illumination after these beams (6a, 6b) have been reflected from the respective row of reflectors (3a, 3b) associated with the respective row of the light sources (1a, 1b) and after these reflected beams (6a, 6b) have passed through the filter (4).

The body is adapted to emit light rays generally within angle (ω) of diffusion from the optical axis (x), and comprises a transitional surface that is, in its profile towards the emitting surface, inclined towards the longitudinal axis of the profile. The ratio of inclination height (a) and inclination length (b) of the transitional surface is defined as: a b = tg ⁢ ⁢ ( 1 2 ⁢ arc ⁢ ⁢ sin ⁡ ( sin ⁢ ⁢ ω n ) )

    摘要: The optical system comprises at least one pair of adjacent light-guides (1a, 1b) of a longitudinal shape the surface of which comprises a shell (8) that connects two ends (6) of a light-guide (1a, 1b), and at least one pair of light sources (3), associated with the ends (6) of the light guides (1a, 1b) at the same side of the light guides (1a, 1b), to emit light rays (10) and to ensure their propagation in the direction from the end (6) of the light-guide (1a, 1b) further into the light-guide (1a, 1b) body. Either of the pair of the light-guides (1a, 1b) is equipped in its rear part with optical elements (2) to reflect light rays (10) to its longitudinal exit surface (7a) located on the shell (8) for their exit from the light-guide (1a,1b). The light-guides (1a, 1b) of the said pair of adjacent light-guides (1a, 1b) are located with respect to each other in such a way that in the exit direction of the light rays (10) from the exit surface (7a) one of the light-guides (1a, 1b) acts as the front one (1a) and the other as the rear one (1b) while the rays (10) exiting the rear light-guide (1b) enter the front light-guide (1a) through its shell (8) and exit the front light-guide (1a) via its longitudinal supplementary exit surface (7b) that creates, together with the exit surface (7a) of the front light-guide (1a), the complete exit surface (7). The light sources (3) of the pair of the light-guides (1a, 1b) are time-controlled in such a way that the required dynamic light display is achieved on the complete exit surface (7).
