  • Patent number: 8710744
    Abstract: An automotive lighting system (20) is described with a signal emitting device (30) installed in a lamp socket (18). The lamp socket (18) is connected to a lighting connection (16) of a vehicle (10). The signal emitting device (30) emits a signal if the lighting connection (16) is energized. A lighting module (24) is connected to an electrical power supply (28) of the vehicle (10). The lighting module (24) comprises a receiver (42), a control unit (45) and a light source (22). The control unit (46) is disposed to operate the light source (22) in a first mode if a signal is received in the receiver, and in a second mode if the signal is not received.

  • Publication number: 20130175925
    Abstract: To satisfy the need for refitting the lighting of a vehicle without the need to modify the controlling system of the vehicle, the present invention proposes a lighting system which comprises an electrical element (110), configured to consume the received power and incapable of emitting light; a light source (130); and a controller (120), configured to receive a first signal indicating the working status of the electrical element (110) and control the light source (130) generating a first light and a second light, respectively, based on the first signal. By utilizing the signal indicating the working status of the electrical element (110), which element is used to replace another automotive lamp, the controller can control the light source (130) to mimic said another automotive lamp while performing its original function.

  • Publication number: 20120172177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (10) for supporting a user to do a set of exercises, the system comprises a first subsystem (11) for providing audio/video content associated with said set of exercises and a second subsystem (12) for supporting the user's body when the user does said set of exercises. The invention proposes a device (100) for controlling the system and the method thereof. The device (100) comprises a first unit (101) for acquiring previously determined data (310) comprising at least one of information relating to said set of exercises and characteristics of said user, a second unit (102) for adjusting a parameter of said first subsystem (11) according to said data (310) and a third unit (103) for adjusting a parameter of said second subsystem (12) according to said data (310). With the help of the controlling device (100), parameters of the system (10) can be adjusted automatically without interaction with the user.

  • Patent number: 8005639
    Abstract: A system and method (“utility”) for automated testing using a compact framework is provided. The utility includes a plurality of functionalities that include development of a test module, development of a test flow, and execution of a test flow. Each of these functionalities may be separated by the compact framework, such that automated testing functions may be divided into individual roles. The individual roles may include test developer, test flow designer, and test flow executor. The utility may also include an authenticator that is operable to determine the individual role of a user (e.g., using a GUI), and to provide the functionality that corresponds to that role. The utility may provide one or more displays that provide real time data feedback. Further, the utility may be operable to generate customized test results reports that enable a user to analyze the performance of one or more devices under test.
