Abstract: A sensor thawing device, applied to a vehicle, discharges high-temperature air in a target direction, which is any one of left, right, down, and up directions, to an air discharge duct extended from a molding box coupled to a radiator grill, heats outside air introduced into a heat source line with a heat source including a heating wire to convert the outside air into high-temperature air, supplies the high-temperature air to an air distribution box, moves the air discharge duct in the target direction by forming the air pressure with a part of the high-temperature air by using an air pressure actuator, and supplies the air discharge duct with the remaining high-temperature air through a moving duct.

Abstract: A license plate holder includes a frame defining a central opening to permit display of indicia on license plate display region(s) of a license plate and defining frame display region(s) adjacent the central opening. A transmissive substrate includes one or more connectors to removably connect the transmissive substrate to a license plate base. In an assembled state with the transmissive substrate removably connected to the license plate base via the connector(s) and the frame interposed between the transmissive substrate and the license plate base, a central region of the transmissive substrate is positioned in front of the central opening and the license plate display region(s) and a peripheral region of the transmissive substrate is positioned in front of the frame display region(s).

Abstract: A license plate cover system includes a base plate defining a first surface configured to face a vehicle. A second surface of the base plate is configured to face away from the vehicle. A side surface of the base plate connects the first surface with the second surface. The base plate includes protrusions extending from the side surface. A cover plate defines a first surface configured to face the second surface of the base plate. A second surface of the cover plate is configured to face away from the base plate. An inner side surface connects the first surface of the cover plate with the second surface of the cover plate. The cover plate includes recesses configured to receive the protrusions therein. The cover plate is configured to be removably coupled with base plate by securing the protrusions in corresponding recesses of the plurality of recesses.

Abstract: A license plate frame is defined by a frame structure that includes a top member, a first side member, a bottom member and a second side member connected to one another for pivotal movement with respect to one another. In response to pivoting movement of the top member relative to the first and second side members and pivoting movement of the bottom member relative to the first and second side members, the frame structure is moved between a first orientation wherein the frame structure has an overall rectangular shape and a second orientation wherein the frame structure has a folded overall linear shape.

Abstract: A lighting system enables a lighting pattern to be displayed on a vehicle when the vehicle is in motion. A lighting pattern may include lights that fluctuate (with respect to luminosity) or lights that stay on at the same luminosity. The length of time that a light, such as an LED lamp, is powered on may vary. Similarly, the amount of time between two adjacent lights are powered off and powered on may also vary. As such, the lighting sequence is flexible and can be customized so that all lights are not on for the same length of time and the time between two lights being powered may vary. A vehicle front alert system allows for improved perception of speed of an approaching vehicle, human, or object.

Abstract: A license plate assembly includes a backing and a flexible license plate. The flexible license plate includes plural layers, including a licensing-information layer, in which ink is deposited in the form of alphanumeric characters on an underlying one of the plural layers, the alphanumeric characters providing license information. The flexible license plate optionally includes one or more holograms, and/or watermarks, and/or QR-codes. The flexible license plate is disposed on the backing, which extends beyond the perimeter of the flexible license plate, defining a marginal region. In some embodiments, plural indices are disposed in the marginal region to facilitate alignment of flexible license plate during installation thereof on a motor vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for IR readable transmissive and reflective displays are disclosed that do not suffer from a mirror-like appearance or undesirable dimming of the display due to sequential stacks of polarizers. The disclosed systems and methods use available IR LEDs in addition to, or in place of, visible light LEDs. An illuminator or integrator, which is a lightguide, is designed to maintain the polarization state of the light. The display can use a regular visible light, front polarizer and hence does not suffer from brightness reduction caused by an IR capable polarizer. A digital license plate application comprising a reflective liquid crystal display with a front light, which includes polarized IR illumination, is also disclosed.
