Abstract: The present invention relates to a module for a motor vehicle for emitting at least one light beam with a cut-off profile along an optical axis. The module includes first and second optical collectors adapted to collect light emitted by respective first and second light sources, and redirects the light toward a focal region. At least one of the collectors extends in the direction of the focal region in order to reflect some of the light emitted by the other collector so as to define the cut-off profile.
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for determining an eyeglass prescription for an eye, in particular through the use of a non-transitory computer readable medium.

Abstract: An optical measurement system includes an optical sensor assembly for measuring an object located beneath the optical sensor assembly. A deployment mechanism is pivotally connected relative to the optical sensor assembly that moves a secondary measurement aid, such as a touch sensor, between a deployed position and a retracted position. When in the retracted position, the secondary measurement aid does not inhibit movement of the optical sensor with respect to the object being measured.
Abstract: This invention discloses methods and apparatus for providing a variable optic insert into an ophthalmic lens. A liquid crystal layer may be used to provide a variable optic function and in some examples, an alignment layer for the liquid crystal layer may be patterned in a cycloidally dependent manner. The patterning may allow for a polarization dependent lens in some examples. An energy source is capable of powering the variable optic insert included within the ophthalmic lens. In some examples, an ophthalmic lens is cast-molded from a silicone hydrogel. The various ophthalmic lens entities may include electroactive liquid crystal layers to electrically control optical characteristics.

Abstract: Determining three-dimensional structure in a road environment using a system mountable in a host vehicle including a camera connectible to a processor. Multiple image frames are captured in the field of view of the camera. In the image frames, a line is selected below which the road is imaged. The line separates between upper images essentially excluding images of the road and lower images essentially including images of the road. One or more of the lower images is warped, according to a road homography to produce at least one warped lower image. The three-dimensional structure may be provided from motion of a matching feature within the upper images or from motion of a matching feature within at least one of the lower images and at least one warped lower image.
Abstract: The invention proposes a device and a method which make it possible to manage the light fluxes emitted respectively by fixed and mobile parts of a light device for a motor vehicle. It is noteworthy that the management of the light fluxes takes into account the relative position between the different parts of the light device.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a rear lighting and/or signaling device, notably for a motor vehicle, comprising a light source, a transmission surface and means for distributing at least a part of the light from the source on the transmission surface, the distribution means comprising a matrix of micromirrors that can each be driven according to at least two different inclination positions. Another source is present and a mode of operation allows the illumination of a part of the micromirrors by the source and another part by the source.
Abstract: Filter holder (10) having a tubular overall shape and made of an elastic material, an annular groove (40) being formed on the interior surface of the filter holder.
Abstract: A viewing aid includes a camera, a viewing surface within a field of view of the camera, a memory, a display, and software programmed to track a tracking element within the field of view. Viewing material is placed on the viewing surface. The camera, viewing surface, and material all remain substantially stationary. The camera captures and stores an initial image of the material in the memory. The software then tracks the location of a tracking element within the field of view then maps the location to a portion of the initial image in memory using an X-Y coordinate system, and/or identifies character elements of the material adjacent the tracking element then maps the character elements to corresponding character elements of the initial image in memory. An enhanced image is then displayed on the display corresponding to the mapped portion of the initial image.
Abstract: A reticle unit equipped with an optical apparatus such as a riflescope includes: red and green light sources radiating red light and green light; a disc-like shaped reticle substrate that has a diffraction grating formed at substantially the center of a surface having substantially circular shape; and red and green mirror members converge light radiated from the red and green light sources, make incidence on the reticle substrate from corresponding side surface portions of the reticle substrate to illuminate the diffraction grating so as to emit first order diffracted light reflected and diffracted by the diffraction grating along a normal direction of the diffraction grating.
Abstract: An optical element has a substrate body made from transparent plastic and a coating having multiple layers. The coating includes a hard lacquer layer adjoining the substrate. The coating has a diffusivity ensuring the absorption of water molecules passing through the coating in the substrate and the release of water molecules from the substrate through the coating from an air atmosphere on that side of the coating facing away from the substrate with a flow density which, proceeding from the equilibrium state of the quantity of water molecules absorbed in the substrate in an air atmosphere at 23° C. and 50% relative humidity, brings the setting of the equilibrium state of the quantity of water molecules absorbed in the substrate in an air atmosphere at 40° C. and 95% relative humidity within an interval not more than 10 h longer than for setting this equilibrium under corresponding conditions with an identical uncoated substrate.

Abstract: A light module for a motor vehicle comprising: a light guide with an input face and at least two branches each extending from the input face according to a specific length and a specific section; at least one light source arranged at the input face of the light guide, the input face being adapted to couple light rays emitted by the light source in the light guide; wherein the two branches are contiguous over a part of their length from the input face to a determined point of separation, the two sections of the branches overlapping over a zone of intersection which is present from the input face to the determined point of separation. The two sections are substantially constant along the branches from the input face over a length greater than or equal to the length of the branches between the input face and the determined point of separation.
