Abstract: A window control system includes a switch and a motor controller. The switch is manipulated by an operator and transmits signals based on the manipulation. The motor controller receives signals from the switch, determines a preset position from the signals, and commands a motor to move a window to the preset position. The preset position is one of at least three preset positions either programmed by a manufacturer or customized by the operator.

Abstract: An electronic meter cluster system for a vehicle. The system includes a display screen and a meter control module configured to control the display screen. For example, the meter control module is configured to control the display screen to display a meter for conveying information to a driver of the vehicle, the meter including numerals and a pointer needle. The meter control module arranges the needle relative to the numerals to convey information to the driver. Based on a change in the information being conveyed to the driver, the meter control module is configured to modify at least one of sharpness of the numerals, size of the numerals, one or more colors of the display, brightness of the needle, and length of the needle.
