Abstract: An apparatus can include a panel. The panel can couple with a tailgate of a vehicle. The panel can be configured to move from a first position relative to the tailgate to a second position to form a storage space. The storage space can be at least partially outside the vehicle.

Abstract: A center high-mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) system for a vehicle is provided. The CHMSL system includes a sensor, a primary CHMSL, a wireless secondary CHMSL, a vehicle wireless transceiver, and at least one processor coupled to the sensor, the primary CHMSL, and the vehicle wireless transceiver. The sensor is configured to generate sensor data, such as image data, proximity data, etc., associated with cargo loaded in a bed of the vehicle. The primary CHMSL includes a primary lamp. The wireless secondary CHMSL includes a secondary lamp, a battery, and control circuitry including a CHMSL wireless transceiver and a microcontroller. The processor is configured to facilitate, based on the sensor data, activation of the wireless secondary CHMSL. The processor is also configured to determine, based on the sensor data, whether the primary CHMSL is blocked or not blocked.

Abstract: A lamp for a vehicle includes brackets designed to break in response to a force, or load, to the lamp. Based in part on the breaking of the brackets, the lamp may move relative to the vehicle. As a result, when a pedestrian provides the force, the impact by the lamp to the pedestrian is reduced, thus decreasing the likelihood of injury to the pedestrians. A lamp may further include one or more clips that secure to a front end module of the vehicle. In the event of impact to the lamp, the clip(s) promote movement of the lamp relative to the vehicle. A lamp may further include a damper designed to absorb energy from the force to the lamp.

Abstract: A system is provided. The system can include a lens. The lens can include a carbon nanotube layer. The carbon nanotube layer can be configured to thermally couple with a heating element.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to light output that can include light that is outside the visible spectrum to enhance a driver's awareness of the environment. Such light can be output, and reflections thereof can be captured to perform object detection. Outputs can be provided by a display or other output device of the vehicle to supplement and enhance the view of the environment. Such light output and detection can be provided with or in the absence of light that is within the visible spectrum, thereby allowing the driver and/or an autonomous system to avoid excessive reflection of visible light. Aspects of the disclosure can help to improve illumination by a vehicle and provide additional outputs to help a driver and/or an autonomous system safely operate the vehicle.

Abstract: Particular embodiments may provide a control system for a vehicle, which may include and memory coupled to the processors. The memory may include instructions executable by the processor. The processors may be operable when executing the instructions to receive signals from a mobile device which may be associated with a user and may also be wirelessly connected to the vehicle. The signals may be received by sensors of the vehicle. The processors may be further operable when executing instructions to identify a lighting mode for illuminating an area associated with a device location. The processors may be further operable when executing instructions to determine illumination fields and lighting properties based on the lighting mode and the device location. The processors may be further operable when executing instructions to control operation of lights of the vehicle in accordance with the illumination fields and the lighting properties.

Abstract: The apparatus having a light fixture is provided. The apparatus can include a collimator. The collimator can be coupled with the light fixture. The collimator can adjust light produced by a light source from a first path to a second path. The apparatus can include a film. The film can conceal at least a portion of the light source.

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes obtaining, for a particular integrated (IC) design, register transfer level (RTL) code and unified power format (UPF) settings, generating an RTL feature array from the RTL code, arranging features based on a UPF into a UPF feature array, generating, by a processor, a combined feature array for the particular IC design by combining the RTL feature array and the UPF feature array, comparing the combined feature array for the particular IC design with another combined feature array, and reporting differences, based on the comparing, between the combined feature array and the other combined feature array to identify changes in at least one of the RTL code and the UPF settings that resulted in a change in a number of power violations.
