Patent number: 9937793Abstract: An interactive activation system having a base with a display module that projects two or more icons. The display module is connected to the base. A case is connected to the base and covers the display output module. The case has one or more apertures that aligned with the display output module in a manner that allows the two or more icons to be projected through the one or more apertures. An output screen is connected to the case and has at least one reflective surface that is positioned relative to the one or more apertures of the case. This allows the two or more icons projected by the display output module to be reflected by the reflective surface of the output screen toward a viewing zone.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Oscar Herrera-Morales, Luis Gutierrez-Valdez, Hiram Aburto-Crespo

Publication number: 20160085332Abstract: A touch sensitive holographic display system includes a transparent screen having a rear side and a front side. A projector is configured for creating a holographic image at the front of the screen by projecting an image towards the rear side of the screen. The projector is located at the rear side of the screen. A touch sensor is configured for sensing a touching of the holographic image at the front side of the screen. An electronic controller is connected to the projector for controlling the projector and is connected to the touch sensor for receiving an indication that the holographic image has been touched. By touching the image, which can be an icon, a user can control or access a function of an automobile.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2014Publication date: March 24, 2016Inventors: OSCAR HERRERA-MORALES, LUIS GUTIERREZ-VALDEZ, HIRAM ABURTO-CRESPO

Patent number: 8893820Abstract: A drive system for releasably interconnecting a motor shaft of a rotary hand held power tool and an input shaft of an attachment device that is mounted thereon includes an elongated flexible drive shaft and an elongated output shaft. The flexible drive shaft is connected to the input shaft of the attachment device and includes an outer end portion with a non-circular cross-section configured to engage a complementarily shaped cavity of an output shaft operatively attached to the power tool motor shaft. The elongated output shaft is operatively connected to the motor shaft of the power tool. The output shaft defines a generally cylindrical outer configuration along its length and includes a rearward mounting portion for attachment to the motor shaft and an intermediate portion having the complementarily shaped cavity for receiving the flexible drive shaft.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josh Barhitte, Hiram Aburto, Ernesto Candia, Andy G.
