  • Publication number: 20240426445
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lighting module includes a housing which is made of a housing part and a circular or elliptical outer part secured thereto. The outer part is at least partly translucent and closes off the housing from the outside. The motor vehicle lighting module additionally has a plurality of light beam-emitting light sources which are received in the housing. The housing is equipped with a light guide system into which the light sources emit the light beams. The housing is additionally equipped with a facet body with an upper part, a girdle, and a lower part. The upper part of the facet body adjoins the outer part, and the lower part protrudes in the direction of the housing part. The light guide system additionally includes a first light guide and a second light guide.

  • Patent number: 12092285
    Abstract: A lighting device includes lens which delimits the inner region of the lighting device and is configured so that light exits outwards from the inner region. The lighting device includes one or more light sources in the inner region to emit a first light radiation in a first wavelength range, the lens being non-transparent to the first light radiation. The inner region also includes one or more elements, each of which contains a photoluminescent phosphor, the element(s) being arranged to be illuminated by the first light radiation. The photoluminescent phosphor is configured to emit a second light radiation in a second wavelength range, based on the first light radiation illuminating the element(s), the second light radiation at least partly exiting through the lens which is transparent to at least a part of the second light radiation.

  • Patent number: 11498434
    Abstract: A vehicle device includes at least one calculating logic, at least one electric and/or electronic functional unit, and at least one stored buffer energy source, which is operatively connected to the calculating logic and the functional unit and which is configured to at least partially buffer and/or stabilize a vehicle electrical system voltage of a vehicle electrical system in a normal operating state for supplying power to the functional unit. The vehicle device further includes at least one monitoring unit which is configured, in at least one malfunctioning state, in which the vehicle electrical system voltage drops below a voltage limit value and/or a gradient of the vehicle electrical system voltage exceeds a gradient limit value, to at least partially limit the energy intake of the functional unit and to enable an at least temporary power supply of the calculating logic by the stored buffer energy source.
