  • Publication number: 20230234510
    Abstract: A rear-view mirror system comprises a mounting assembly arranged outside a motor vehicle, and a first image acquisition unit at least partially received within the mounting assembly configured to acquire a captured image from the exterior of the vehicle. A display device is provided inside the vehicle for displaying to a user a displayed image derived at least in part from the captured image. An electronics carrier comprises an electronic control unit (ECU) connected to the first image acquisition unit so as to generate an image signal for the display device to show the displayed image. The ECU is arranged, together with the electronics carrier, at least partially within the mounting assembly.

  • Patent number: 11694448
    Abstract: A camera monitoring system for motor vehicles is provided. An image capturing device is provided on a mounting assembly of the vehicle for an exterior field of view (FOV) of the vehicle extending sideward and rearward outside the vehicle and encompassing a portion of the exterior part of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) is connected to the image capturing device to obtain a captured image. An electronic display device is connected to the ECU and is located inside the vehicle and to be used by a driver. A gesture detector is configured to obtain at least one position of at least one part of the driver's body. The ECU is configured to adjust the FOV based on the obtained position and the display device is configured to display the adjusted FOV in a displayed image region, which can be moved within the captured image.

  • Patent number: 11473672
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly includes a shift lever, a folding device, and a fold interlock device. The shift lever is adapted to move between park and gear positions. The shift lever includes a base structure and an arm pivotally engaged to the base structure about a first axis. The folding device is adapted to pivotally move the arm with respect to the base structure about the first axis and between deployed and stowed states. The fold interlock device is adapted to move between locked and released positions, and includes a locking member adapted to abut the arm in a circumferential direction with respect to the first axis when in the locked position to prevent movement from the deployed state to the stowed state, and to circumferentially clear the arm when in the released position to enable actuation of the folding device from the deployed state to the stowed state.

  • Publication number: 20210284081
    Abstract: A camera assembly for motor vehicles comprises a housing with at least one opening for receiving a connector-adapter, an image sensor connected to an electronics carrier provided within the housing, and an insulating member within the housing defining at least a first and second chamber. The electronics carrier is intersected by the insulating member preventing matter from passing from the first chamber to the second chamber. The assembling method comprises deposition of insulating material within the housing to form an insulating member and fitting of the electronics carrier within the housing such that the electronics carrier is intersected by the insulating member.

  • Publication number: 20210122299
    Abstract: The motor vehicle camera assembly includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and an attaching mechanism for attaching the first and second housing parts together defining an inner space for receiving at least an electronics carrier. The attaching mechanism is configured such that, when the first and second housing parts are attached to each other, the first housing part contacts at least one portion of a first surface of the electronics carrier and the second housing part contacts at least one portion of a second surface of the electronics carrier. The first housing part may be coupled to the second housing part with the electronics carrier being tightly sandwiched there between.

  • Patent number: 10941852
    Abstract: A shift lever assembly includes a structural support, a shift lever, an autopark device, a folding device, and an interlock device. The shift lever includes a base structure and an arm. The base structure is pivotally engaged to the structural support about a first axis for movement between a park and gear positions. The arm is pivotally engaged to the base structure about a second axis for movement between deployed and stowed states. The autopark device is carried between the structural support and the base structure to effect movement between the park and gear positions. The folding device is carried between the arm and the base structure to effect movement between the deployed and stowed states. The interlock device is supported by the base structure, is adapted to operable interface between the autopark device and the arm, and is configured to move between locked and released positions.
