  • Patent number: 10161588
    Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight lens for a vehicle headlight for a motor vehicle headlight wherein the headlight lens includes a optionally press-molded body of transparent material, including at least one light entry face and at least one optically effective light exit face, wherein the particularly monolithic body comprises a light tunnel which, via a bend, forms a transition into a light passage section for imaging the bend as a bright-dark-boundary.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9732924
    Abstract: The invention relates to a headlamp lens for a vehicle headlamp, in particular a motor vehicle headlamp. The headlamp lens comprises a body made of a transparent material and having at least one light inlet surface and at least one optically effective light exit surface. The body comprises a light tunnel which transitions into a light-conducting element while making a bend for imaging the bend as a light-shadow line. The body further comprises an orientation structure for orienting the headlamp lens in a vehicle headlamp and/or for orienting the headlamp lens towards a light source for irradiating light onto the light inlet surface.

  • Patent number: 9719649
    Abstract: Techniques for encoded data processing which allow for continuous data processing as encoded data changes. Data is decomposed into one or more blocks with each block containing at least one data record. At least one data record within a given block is encoded with a first encoding process selected from one or more encoding processes. The first encoding process is associated with the given data block. Techniques evaluate whether or not to implement an encoding change for a given block when updating a given data record in the given block. Responsive to the evaluation, the given block is re-encoded with a second encoding process. Responsive to the re-encoding, the association of the given block is updated. A map is formed to convert the given data record encoded with the first encoding process to the second encoding process so as to preserve comparative relationships of the given data record.

  • Patent number: 9719647
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp comprising first second light sources and first and second lens. Each lens comprising a precision-molded, one-piece, element of a transparent material. Each one-piece element comprising a light tunnel and a light-conducting part having an optically effective light exit surface. The first lens light tunnel comprises an optically effective, light inlet surface and transitions into a light-conducting part while making a first bend for imaging the first bend as a light-shadow line by means of light coupled in or irradiated onto the light inlet surface. The second lens light tunnel comprises a second optically active, light inlet surface and transitions into a second light-conducting part while making a second bend for imaging the second bend by means of light coupled in or irradiated onto the light inlet surface, the second bend (substantially) being a variant of the first bend mirrored on a straight line.

  • Patent number: 9664352
    Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight lens for a vehicle headlight, in particular for a motor vehicle headlight, wherein the headlight lens has an, in particular blank-pressed, integral body which is composed of a transparent material and has at least one light entry surface and has at least one optically active light exit surface, characterized in that the integral body comprises a light tunnel which merges with a bend in a light conduction part for forming the bend as a light/dark boundary, wherein the radiation power of the light which enters the headlight lens through the light entry surface and exits from the light exit surface (for forming the bend as a light/dark boundary) is at least 80% of the radiation power of the light which enters the headlight lens through the light entry surface.
