The connector configured to electrically connect with a cable connector. The second part including a ball housing portion receiving the ball pivot to form a ball joint.

Abstract: Camera for a motor vehicle configured to communicate with an electronic control unit of the motor vehicle comprises an imager integrated circuit configured to capture images from the motor vehicle; an illumination unit; a first mixer/splitter interface unit in electrical communication with the imager integrated circuit; a camera bidirectional signal port in electrical communication with the first mixer/splitter interface unit, said camera bidirectional signal port being configured to be electrically connected with an external power supply signal carrying data control signal for the imager integrated circuit; said first mixer/splitter interface unit being configured to split the data control signal from the external power supply signal; to provide the split data control signal to the imager integrated circuit, to provide a first input voltage from the split external power supply signal to the imager integrated circuit; to provide images data from the imager integrated circuit mixed with the external power supp

Abstract: Safety apparatus for indicating the usage state of a seat belt. The seat belt has a strap spooled from a retractor and being lockable to a buckle by a tongue. The apparatus has an indicator unit for mounting to an upper part of a seat. A lock indicator is provided on the indicator unit and, in use, is operably connected to the buckle for indicating a state when the tongue has been locked into the buckle. A strap indicator is provided for indicating a state when a spooled length of the strap exceeds a threshold corresponding to a predetermined minimum length of strap needed to secure a body with the seat belt. The lock indicator and the strap indicator are detectable by a camera.

Abstract: A system for detecting the face of a vehicle driver comprises an instrument cluster for the driver including a carrier and an dashboard directed towards the driver and covered by a glass, said dashboard being embedded in the carrier; an image capture device comprising a camera configured to capture sequential images of the driver's gaze; and a controller configured to analyze the driver's gaze; at least one intrinsic element of the instrument cluster defines a reflecting surface configured to directly reflect the sequential images of the driver's gaze such as a glossy plastic, a chrome-plated element, a display screen or the dashboard glass; the camera comprises a field of view oriented towards the reflecting surface so as to indirectly capture the images of the driver's gaze.

Abstract: The invention relates to a speaker assembly. In order to enable a cost-effective assembly of an electronic device with a speaker, the invention provides that the speaker assembly comprises: a base element having a surface, which is at least partially electrically conductive; a speaker associated with the base element; a cover element at least partially covering the base element and comprising a receiving section in which the speaker is at least partially received; a rubber-elastic mounting element interposed between the speaker and the cover element for retaining the speaker in the receiving section; and at least one connector element electrically connecting the speaker with the base element, which connector element is preloaded between the speaker and the base element.
