  • Publication number: 20220266653
    Abstract: A vehicle comprising an LED headlamp including a lens and an LED light source. A heating element is provided at the lens. A control module is in communication with the heating element. A temperature sensor that is configured to generate a signal indicative of an outside temperature is in communication with the control module, and a speed sensor that is configured to generate a signal indicative of a vehicle speed is in communication with the control module. Upon receipt by the control module of the signal indicative of the outside temperature that is less than a predetermined temperature and upon receipt by the control module of the signal indicative of the vehicle speed that is greater than a predetermined vehicle speed, the control module is configured to activate the heating element.

  • Publication number: 20140091600
    Abstract: An overslam bumper comprising a coupling device, a base member fixed to the coupling device, a striking member defining a striking surface for receiving a load exerted thereon, and a linking member connecting the base member and the striking member. The overslam bumper is configured such that upon receipt of the load at the striking surface, the load is transferred through the striking member to the linking member to an extent that the linking member will deflect, and upon deflection of the linking member, the striking member is operable to abut the base member.
