  • Publication number: 20240131985
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a central light control unit and a plurality of interior light modules, each of which includes a single light source or a plurality of light sources. The motor vehicle also includes a data bus via which the central light control unit and the interior light modules are coupled to one another. The central light control unit is configured to transmit control commands to the interior light modules in order to trigger motor vehicle interior lighting effects, wherein control information, which is included in the control commands and includes at least one color value and one brightness value for the interior light modules, is created based on runtime-variable input data. The runtime-variable input data is based on current ambient conditions of the motor vehicle and/or variable data sources of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9894810
    Abstract: In one example, a data center may be built in modular components that may be pre-manufactured and separately deployable. Each modular component may provide functionality such as server capacity, cooling capacity, fire protection, resistance to electrical failure. Some components may be added to the data center by connecting them to the center's utility spine, and others may be added by connecting them to other components. The spine itself may be a modular component, so that spine capacity can be expanded or contracted by adding or removing spine modules. The various components may implement functions that are part of standards for various levels of reliability for data centers. Thus, the reliability level that a data center meets may be increased or decreased to fit the circumstances by adding or removing components.
