Abstract: Interior panels for an interior of a vehicle, vehicles, and methods for making interior panels for an interior of a vehicle are provided. In one example, the interior panel includes an outer covering having a first surface exposed to the interior and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. The second surface has a pattern formed therein that is covered by the first surface. A board assembly is disposed proximate the second surface and has a third surface facing towards the second surface. The board assembly includes a light source that is generally aligned with the pattern. An adhesive layer is disposed between the second surface and the third surface and couples the second surface and the third surface together. When the light source generates light, the light passes through the adhesive layer and the pattern to produce an illuminated pattern on the first surface.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a lens that can shape light emerging from a light emitting diode (LED). The emergent light from the LED can be substantially centered around an LED axis. An incident surface of the lens can be positioned to face the LED. The incident surface can include a concave portion. The concave portion can be substantially smooth, so as not to substantially scatter light that strikes the concave portion. The concave portion can be substantially centered around a concave portion axis that is non-coaxial with the LED axis. The incident surface can include a scattering portion, positioned away from the concave portion, which can be textured so as to scatter light that strikes the scattering portion. An exiting surface of the lens can optionally include a generally planar portion that at least partially surrounds a substantially smooth convex portion.
Abstract: An evacuation slide to provide an egress path from an exit of an aircraft. The evacuation slide includes one or more slide lanes. One or more jump targets and indicators are positioned along each of the slide lanes to visually inform persons how to enter a ramp of the slide. Lights illuminate one or more sections of the slide to further provide visual guidance on how to enter the ramp.

Abstract: A door lock illumination device connected to a door, the door lock illumination device including a main body, a key hole disposed on at least a portion of the main body to receive a key therein, and an illumination unit disposed within at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the key hole receiving the key.
Abstract: A marine communication system allows drivers to communicate by the use of lights to indicate their status, direction of motion, or speed. A detector determines the position of the throttle in the boat and sends a signal to a light with a corresponding pattern of emission. One pattern indicates forward motion, another a neutral motion, and yet another a reverse motion.
