Abstract

An electro-optic control apparatus includes a common driver in conductive connection with a plurality of electro-optic elements at a first terminal. Each of the electro-optic elements is connected to a dedicated driver at a second terminal. The dedicated drivers are separated from the common driver over an electro-optic medium of each of the plurality of electro-optic elements. The electro-optic medium of each of the electro-optic elements is configured to vary in light transmittance in response to a voltage difference between the common driver and the corresponding dedicated driver.

Abstract

An electroacoustic transducer includes a diaphragm and a voice coil configured to generate a magnetic field in response to an electrical signal. A receiver magnet rotatable relative to the diaphragm about a pivot axis is configured to pivot about the pivot axis in response to the magnetic field generated by the voice coil. A lever arm is coupled to an end of the receiver magnet and rotatably fixed to the receiver magnet, the lever arm couples the receiver magnet to the diaphragm. Rotation of the lever arm about the pivot axis causes the diaphragm to vibrate and produce sound waves.

A first aperture extends through the sidewall perpendicular to the central axis and a receiving member rotatably coupled to the housing and includes a protrusion that extends along the central axis and an aperture spaced from the central axis. A cable has a first end that extends through the first aperture of the housing and is fixedly coupled to the receiving member and a second end fixed relative to the housing. A knob is rotatably coupled to the housing and is configured to engage the receiving member such that rotation of the knob causes the receiving member to rotate. A locking element engages with the sidewall of the housing, and is configured to disengage the sidewall in response to a manual rotation of the knob by a user.

Abstract

A rearview assembly includes a mount, having a ball joint portion, and a main unit including a housing with a socket that receives the ball joint portion such that the main unit is articulable on the mount by rotation about three perpendicular axes. First and second magnets are positioned within the housing and are spaced apart to define a rotationally asymmetric combined magnetic field. First and second sensors are positioned within the housing are spaced apart so as to be collectively operably associated with the combined magnetic field, with articulation of the main unit on the mount causing movement of the first and second sensors with respect to the first and second magnets. A processor determines a rotational position of the main unit in relation to the mount about the three axes based on a combination of the magnetic field information from the first sensor and second sensors.

Abstract

A coating material includes a polymer binder, and particles having a hardness of at least 10 GPa and mixed with the polymer binder. The particles have a nominal diameter less than 1 millimeter and are suspended in the coating material prior to application to a surface. The coating material can be applied to a surface of a substrate, whether it is planar or non-planar. The coating material can also be applied uniformly or non-uniformly across the surface when it is desired. The coating material can further be incorporated in the ballistic core stack of a ballistic protection article. The coating material enhances the performance of the article against high-velocity ballistic threats or the like, using the same or similar defeat principles as thick ceramic plates/tiles.

Abstract

An asymmetrically reflective member is disclosed. This asymmetrically reflective member may be utilized in a rearview assembly to hide an imager disposed there behind. The member may comprise a substate and an asymmetric transflective coating. The substate may have a first side and a second side. The asymmetric transflective coating may be associated with the substrate. Additionally, the asymmetric transflective coating may have a transflective layer, a plurality of dielectric layers, and one or more absorptive layers interleaved with the plurality of dielectric layers. Further, the member may have a first side and a second side. The reflectance of the first side may be substantially greater than the reflectance of the second side.

Abstract

A monitoring system includes an imaging module that captures image data associated with a vehicle cabin and an electro-optic assembly configured to switch transmission states upon an applied voltage. A control system is in communication with the imaging module and the electro-optic assembly. The control system is configured to receive the image data from the imaging module and detect a presence of light value in the image data that exceeds a threshold value and is proximate the eyes of a vehicle occupant and determine an origin of the presence of light value through the electro-optic assembly by detecting a presence of a shadow in proximity to the eyes of the vehicle occupant. The control system applies a voltage to reduce transmission of the electro-optic assembly and lower the presence of light directed towards the eyes of the vehicle occupant to a value below the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract

A mirror assembly includes an electro-optic assembly that has a front element substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The electro-optic assembly further has a second element substrate having a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface, the second and third surfaces facing each other to define a gap. A first electrode is coupled to the second surface and a second electrode is coupled to the third surface. An electro-optic medium is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. The mirror assembly further includes a heating assembly that has a heating trace distributing warmth along an area of the heating assembly, a first conductive trace, and a second conductive trace. A first conductive intermediary electrically couples the first conductive trace to the first electrode and a second conductive intermediary electrically couples the second conductive trace to the second electrode.

Abstract

An electrochromic device, system using, and method for, which may pre-activate a buffer is disclosed. The electrochromic device may comprise a first substrate, a second substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, and an electrochromic medium. The second substrate may be disposed in apart relationship with the first substrate. The first and second electrodes may be associated with the first and second substrates, respectively. The electrochromic medium may be disposed between the first and second electrodes. Further, the electrochromic medium may comprise electrochromic materials and a redox buffer. Each of the electrochromic materials and the buffer may be operable between activated and deactivated states. The electrochromic device may be configured to apply a voltage to substantially pre-activate the buffer and hold the buffer in this state prior to substantially activating the electrochromic materials, thereby decreasing the response time of the electrochromic device upon activation.

Abstract

An electro-optic assembly includes a front substrate that has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A second substrate has a third surface and a fourth surface opposite the third surface. The second and third surfaces face each other to define a gap with a cell spacing. A first electrode is coupled to the second surface, and a second electrode is coupled to the third surface. An electro-optic medium is located between the first electrode and the second electrode. A conductor assembly is electrically coupled to the first electrode and defines at least one space containing a first conductive intermediary. A seal retains the electro-optic medium in the gap.
