Abstract: A lighting apparatus for vehicles, comprising a light source and comprising an optical unit for generating a specified light distribution, wherein the optical unit has an optical element with a light entry surface for coupling in light emitted by the light source and with a light exit surface, disposed at a distance from the light entry surface, for coupling out the light that has been input coupled at the light entry surface and guided along the principal light guiding direction within the optical element, wherein the optical element is embodied as a layered body with a plurality of layers, wherein at least a number of the layers respectively have sections of materials with different refractive indices.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for crawling feedback sources and generating a product improvement recommendation. In an embodiment, a Product Optimization Crawler and Monitor (POCM) system may crawl feedback comments from different sources such as an Internet source or a customer feedback database. The POCM system may apply artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and constraint modeling techniques to the feedback comments to identify product features as well as a feedback category corresponding to the product feature. The feedback category may include a positive, negative, or neutral feedback category. Using this information, the POCM system may generate a summary of the feedback from different sources and/or generate product improvement recommendation. The product improvement recommendation may include suggesting that a component from a first product be replaced with a similar component from a second product.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a semiconductor-based processor coupled to form logic circuits. The logic circuits provide a combined localization and personalization (LPN) web service to a computer application, receive a call from the computer application for recommendations to localize and personalize a computer application for a particular user, prepare a recommendation on which one or more reusable application logic modules to attach to a core logic of the computer application to localize and personalize application for the particular user.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a semiconductor-based processor coupled to form logic circuits. The logic circuits provide a localization (LPN) web service to a computer application having business analytics functions, for a recommendation on how to localize the business analytics performed by the computer application to target a specific group of consumers, prepare a recommendation on reconfiguring the business analytics logic of the computer application to perform business analytics localized to target the specific group of consumers, and provide the recommendation to the computer application to set up a localized (LPN) computer application to perform business analytics targeting the specific group of consumers.

Abstract: A system includes a memory and a semiconductor-based processor coupled to form logic circuits. The logic circuits provide a combined localization and personalization (LPN) web service to a computer application, receive a call from the computer application for recommendations to localize and personalize an application user interface (UI) for a particular user, prepare a recommendation on which features and UI elements to include in a localized and personalized application UI (LPN UI) for the particular user, and return the recommendation to the computer application to set up the LPN UI.

Abstract: A method, implemented at least in part by a computing device, for provisioning multilingual content, may include receiving by the computing device, a selection of a language-agnostic artefact, the language-agnostic artefact including programming code for displaying a user interface with a text field. An input string designating at least a portion of a text label associated with the text field may be received. A multilingual artefact may be retrieved based on the received input string, from a plurality of available multilingual artefacts. The retrieved multilingual artefact may include a plurality of translations of the input string into a plurality of human languages. An association record identifying an association between the language-agnostic artefact and the multilingual artefact may be created.

Abstract: A signal lamp for vehicles, specifically motor vehicles, has a housing in which at least one light source is positioned, and a light guide from which light is directed in a predetermined light exit direction, whereby the light guide is structured as a long stretched-out light-release element that extends at least in areas along an edge of a housing and/or of a reflector.
