摘要:
An imaging system for a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view exterior of a vehicle with the field of view being in a forward direction of travel of the vehicle. The camera is operable to capture image data and an image processor is operable to process the image data. A control, responsive to the image processor, is operable to provide at least (a) an adaptive forward lighting function for at least one forward facing light of the equipped vehicle, (b) a lane departure warning function and (c) a traffic control signage function. The control may provide the traffic control signage function at least in part by recognition of a geometrical organization present in the forward field of view of the camera. The adaptive forward lighting function may provide adjustment of a beam direction of the at least one forward facing light of the equipped vehicle.

A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes an imaging device having a field of view forward of a vehicle and an image processor operable to process image data captured by the imaging device. The vehicle includes a control system operable at least in part to control the speed of the vehicle. The control system may reduce the speed of the vehicle responsive at least in part to a detection of a curve in the road ahead of the vehicle via processing by the image processor of image data captured by the imaging device. The control system may control the speed of the vehicle to a reduced speed for traveling around the detected curve in the road, and may increase the speed of the vehicle to above the reduced speed when the vehicle is traveling along a straighter section of road after the curve in the road.

摘要:
An electronic control for automobile headlights utilizing a spherical sensor comprised of a metal ball surrounded by a fluid encapsulated in a spherical sensor, which is connected to the spherical sensor system. Computer controlled unit is positioned on and close behind the headlight so that the metal ball cooperate with sensors within the spherical sensor system to make the headlight go so as to follow the car during turns.

A dampened light apparatus for a pivotal boom on a back hoe or the like including a support for securement to a boom. A well housing is mounted on the support, and a crank arm is pivotally mounted on the support. An electric light is mounted on the crank arm together with an electric current conducting means carried by the light, the arm and the support. A dampening blade is connected to and extending radially from the arm and extending into a liquid in the well housing for movement therein so that when pivotal movement of the boom causes relative pivotal movement between the support and the arm the blade moving through the liquid dampens the pivotal movement of the arm and the light thereon.
摘要:
The motor vehicle is provided with headlamps mounted on a common cross rod which is angularly sprung by means of a tilting system including a lever secured to the cross rod. The headlamps are normally urged into an extreme downwardly tilted position by means of a manually operable device. In one form, the manually operable device takes the form of a solenoid having an operating rod which engages lever attached to the cross rod. The solenoid is electrically connected with a manually operable headlamp lighting switch. The arrangement is such that when the solenoid is de-energised, the operating rod thereof urges the lever into an extreme position in which the headlamps are tilted downwardly. When the headlamp lighting switch is operated to illuminate the headlamps, the solenoid attracts the rod and so releases the lever secured to the cross rod so that tilting of the headlamps can be effected by the headlamp tilting mechanism.In another embodiment, the headlamp lighting switch has an operating rod which is attached to one end of a cable whose other end passes slidably through an aperture in the lever connected with the cross rod and which is operable to move the lever into a position corresponding to an extreme downward tilt of the headlamps when the lighting circuit to the headlamps is opened, but is arranged to release the lever for movement under the action of the headlamp tilting system when the lighting circuit of the headlamps is closed.
