  • Display structure with a flush appearance for a vehicle-based implementation
    Patent number: 10486632
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are structures and methods for assembling said structures to provide a glass-based and flush implementation of a display structure for a vehicle-based context. Employing the aspects disclosed herein, an implementer is provided a structure capable of passing head-impact tests, while prevent stray shard creation and providing an aesthetically superior design to convention implementation.
    Type: Grant

  • Automotive optical touch sensitive switch method
    Patent number: 7072533
    Abstract: The optical control having an optical source that uses a transmission medium to deliver energy to an optical detector. Upon physical contact with the transmission medium changes in the internal reflection of the transmission medium occur and reduce the amount of energy being delivered to the detector. The change in internal reflection causes a change in the state of the optical control.
