Patent number: 11604457Abstract: The present invention discloses a smart counting method and system in manufacturing, specifically in custom clothing or fabric manufacturing. The smart counting method and system uses a camera to feed real-time image data of a working platform where a worker takes a unfinished clothing or fabric, processes the clothing or fabric, and puts the finished clothing or fabric in a finished pile to a processing unit. The processing unit automatically starts a new work order and counts the number of finished products in this work order by using computer vision techniques.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Inventors: Tyler Compton, Bryce Beagle, Alexander Thiel, Xintian Li

Patent number: 11603976Abstract: A motor vehicle headlamp that includes a housing in which at least one main light source is arranged. Detachably attached to an external lens of the motor vehicle headlamp is at least one front housing, which has a light-guiding element and lamps for coupling light rays into the light-guiding element. The light rays are coupled out of the light-guiding element through an output structure. Further additional lamps that can give off light rays are arranged side by side in front of the external lens. The light rays given off by the lamps pass through the external lens and the front housing in the direction of an outside environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2022Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventor: Alexander Thiel

Patent number: 10752162Abstract: A headlight system for a vehicle is enabled for a bending light function. A first light module generates a conventional asymmetrical dipped headlight with an upper first light/dark boundary on the driver's side of a central axis. A second light module has a matrix of light-emitting diode units. A control unit actuates light emissions of the individual light-emitting diode units separately. A bend-detection unit detects the radius of a curve in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The light-emitting diode units have at maximum two horizontal lines, and they generate an emission characteristic with a lower second light/dark boundary below the first light/dark boundary of the dipped headlight, an upper third light/dark boundary above the first light/dark boundary of the dipped headlight, and a lateral fourth light/dark boundary on the side of the light emissions of the second light module the faces the driver's side.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Karl-Wilhelm Gutjahr, Alexander Thiel
