Abstract: A sensor detects dirt and/or rain having a transmitter unit (12, 112) and at least one receiver unit (16, 116) as well as a test surface (22, 122), an accumulation (30, 32) on the test surface (22, 122) being detectable by a light beam (24, 26; 124, 126), which is emitted by the transmitter unit (12, 112) and absorbed by the receiver unit (16, 116). The transmitter unit (12, 112) has at least two transmitters (114), at least one of which comprises two or more locally closely adjacent transmission sources (114a, 114b, 114c, 114d), one receiver (18, 118) of the receiver unit (16, 116) being associated with each transmitter (114). The receiver (18, 118) have one or more individual receivers, at least one of the transmitters (114) being implemented for the purpose of emitting at least two different wavelengths, which are detectable by the associated receiver (18, 118).

Abstract: The invention is based on a sensor device having at least one transmitter unit situated inside a sensor body, a receiver unit associated with the transmitter unit and situated inside the sensor body, and an end face that is situated between the transmitter unit and receiver unit and constitutes a boundary surface of the sensor body. According to a first aspect of the invention, it is possible to achieve a compact embodiment with low requirements for assembly-related production tolerances if the transmitter unit and/or the receiver unit is/are comprised of an injection molded part with an incorporated radiation transmitter and/or radiation receiver. According to another aspect of the invention, a radiation transmitted from the transmitter unit to the receiver unit essentially travels in a beam path outside the sensor body. The invention also relates to a use of a sensor device and a vehicle light.

Abstract: 1. Headlight system for vehicles, preferably for motor vehicles 2.1 The headlight system has an adjustable headlight and a device to record the road layout. The device has an imaging sensor with an image processing device and a control device and sends signals [concerning] the images/data determined via the imaging sensors by means of the image processing device and to the control device to actuators or lamps of the headlight to change the direction of the emitting beam [sic]. 2.2 In order for any change in direction of the emitting beams to occur already before the change in direction, the image processing device generates a signal from the images/data determined by the imaging sensor, which permits prediction of the road layout and which is fed to the light control device. It sends signals to the actuators for an anticipatory direction change of the light beams of the headlight. 2.3 Such a headlight system is used in motor vehicles.
