Abstract: A host vehicle system includes a blind-spot warning system providing an indication to the host vehicle a target vehicle entering a blind-spot. The system includes a vehicle bus receiving various vehicle control signals, magneto-resistive sensors receiving proximity information as a function of magnetic field variations, a smart algorithm controller analyzing bus signals and sensor signals, and various vehicle collision systems such as passive restraints, optical light guides, and audible warnings operating in response to a threat from a target vehicle.

Abstract: A host vehicle system includes a lane change system providing an indication to the host vehicle a target vehicle entering a destination lane. The system includes arrays of magneto-resistive sensors on both sides of the vehicle receiving proximity information as a function of magnetic field variations, a vehicle bus receiving various vehicle control signals, a smart algorithm controller analyzing bus signals and sensor signals, and various vehicle collision systems such as passive restraints, optical light guides, and audible warnings operating in response to a threat from a target vehicle.

Abstract: Manganese-and-magnesium-coactivated strontium sulfide phosphors are both photoluminescent and cathodoluminescent. The incorporation of small amounts (5 to 1000 ppm) of magnesium into manganese-activated strontium sulfide phosphors shifts the CIE emission color coordinates from about x = 0.323 and y = 0.650 for the magnesium-free phoshor to about x = 0.370 and y = 0.611, for the maximum amount of incorporated magnesium.
