The electromagnetic pulse is delivered to the coating precursor material applied on a surface of an uncoated or precoated optical lens substrate. The at least one single electromagnetic pulse is applied from an electromagnetic source such as a flash lamp, a halogen lamp, a directed plasma arc, a laser, a microwave generator, an induction heater, an electron beam, a stroboscope, or a mercury lamp.

Abstract: A navigation system may include a processor programmed to receive, from a camera of the host vehicle, one or more images captured from an environment of the host vehicle, and analyze the one or more images to detect an indicator of an intersection. The processor may also be programmed to determine, based on output received from at least one sensor of the host vehicle, a stopping location of the host vehicle relative to the detected intersection, and analyze the one or more images to determine an indicator of whether one or more other vehicles are in front of the host vehicle. The processor may further be programmed to send the stopping location of the host vehicle and the indicator of whether one or more other vehicles are in front of the host vehicle to a server for use in updating a road navigation model.

The methods, and corresponding devices, may include identifying a plurality of features in a plurality of subsets of image data detailing the one or more occupants; tracking changes over time of the plurality of features over the plurality of subsets of image data; determining a state, from a plurality of states, of the one or more occupants based on the tracked changes; and triggering the vehicular action based on the determined state.

Abstract: An assembly for projecting a light beam includes a first sub-assembly for generating light rays, and a second sub-assembly comprising a converging lens. The first sub-assembly is arranged upstream of the second sub-assembly such that the light rays coming from the first sub-assembly are sent to the converging lens and such that the light rays emerging from the converging lens form the light beam. According to the invention, the projection assembly includes at least one connection system connecting the first sub-assembly to the second sub-assembly and allowing at least one translational movement of the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly relative to each other in a first longitudinal direction (X). Moreover, the connection system comprises a locking member that is movable between a first position in which the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly are motionless with respect to each other and a second position enabling the translational movement.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating a host vehicle. A processing device may be programmed to receive an image representative of an environment of the host vehicle; determine a planned navigational action for the host vehicle; analyze the image to identify a target vehicle travelling toward the host vehicle; determine a next-state distance between the host vehicle and the target vehicle that would result if the planned navigational action was taken; determine a stopping distance for the host vehicle based on a braking profile, a maximum acceleration capability, and a current speed of the host vehicle; determine a stopping distance for the target vehicle based on a braking profile and a current speed of the target vehicle; and implement the planned navigational action if the determined next-state distance is greater than a sum of the stopping distances for the host vehicle and the target vehicle.
