  • Method for identifying the activation of the brake lights of preceding vehicles
    Patent number: 7952490
    Abstract: An image processing method for detecting the activation of brake lights of vehicles driving in front, which do not emit an additional or a changed modulated signal during the braking procedure, has been presented. For this purpose, an image sensor or an image sensor system is aligned to a point in front of the vehicle, the camera images are fed into a memory and a motor vehicle driving in front is identified by means of a pattern recognition method on the image; in addition, following the detection of the vehicle, image areas are determined which contain brake lights to a high degree of probability.

  • Housing comprising a locking device for fixing the same to a carrier plate
    Publication number: 20050169725
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening device (23, 60, 30, 70) for the fastening of a housing (20) on a carrier plate (10), whereby the fastening device consists of a fastening means (23, 30) and a means (60, 70) for the expanding or spreading-open of the fastening means, the housing, the carrier plate, and the fastening means respectively comprise an opening (21, 13, 27, 34), the means for the spreading-open is introduced into the opening of the fastening means and remains there, and the fastening means grips behind the carrier plate in the opening thereof, and whereby the introducing of the fastening means and of the means for the spreading-open into the opening of the carrier plate occurs from the same side of the carrier plate, and the turning of the means for the spreading-open effectuates the fixing of the housing in radial and axial direction on the carrier plate.
