  • Publication number: 20220106037
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for autonomous vehicle operation for collision avoidance. One method involves identifying an autonomous operating mode and one or more settings associated with the autonomous operating mode prior to entering an autonomous collision avoidance mode in response to an output from a collision avoidance system, and after entering the autonomous collision avoidance mode, automatically restoring autonomous operation upon deactivation of the autonomous collision avoidance mode. For example, the autonomous operating mode may be automatically reinitiated based on the current vehicle status using the one or more settings in response to deactivation of the autonomous collision avoidance mode when it is determined that the autonomous operating mode is viable based on a relationship between a current vehicle status and the one or more settings associated with the autonomous operating mode.

  • Patent number: 9882170
    Abstract: The invention provides an organic light-emitting device (OLED) comprising: a transparent substrate; a first, transparent electrode layer arranged on said substrate; one or more organic light-active layers arranged on said first electrode layer; a second electrode layer arranged on said one or more organic light-active layers; and a discontinuous layer comprising discrete, randomly distributed nanometer-sized domains of a low refractive index material, arranged between said first electrode layer and said one or more organic light-active layers. The discontinuous layer of discrete, randomly distributed nano-sized domains increases the light extraction efficiency of the OLED.

  • Patent number: 9748486
    Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting device (OLED) comprising at least: a first electrode; a second electrode; an organic light emissive layer arranged between said first electrode and said second electrode; and an organic charge transport layer arranged between said first electrode and said emissive layer, wherein i) the charge transport layer is patterned or provided with a periodic surface structure on a surface of the charge transport layer facing the emissive layer, and/or ii) an alignment layer which allows for charge transport to the emissive layer is provided between said charge transport layer and said emissive layer, which alignment layer promotes alignment of the optical dipoles of molecules of said light emissive layer towards a common preferred direction of the molecular axes. The use of the patterned or structured charge transport layer and/or the alignment layer provides improved light out coupling from the OLED layer stack, i.e. increased external quantum efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20140025018
    Abstract: A needle mounting system and methods for mounting a needle assembly on a needle mount are disclosed. The needle mounting system includes a needle hub having protrusions extending radially inward. A needle mount has a plurality of slots to receive the protrusions. The slots have a first portion that defines a passageway substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the needle mount and a second portion substantially perpendicular to the axis. The needle hub and mount provide a method wherein a needle assembly may be mounted on an injection device without completely rotating the needle hub relative to the needle mount.

  • Publication number: 20120069599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a luminous window which can function both as a broad area light source and as a transparent window. The broad area light source is achieved by coupling light into a plate-shaped light guide, e.g. via the edges of the light guide, and extracting light from the light guide using geometric protrusions or diffraction gratings into a scattering layer which outputs the broad area light. The transparent window is achieved by switching the scattering layer into a non-scattering state, and possibly switching off the light source, so that light can propagate freely through the light guide and the scattering layer.

  • Patent number: 8059247
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device has pixels, and each pixel has a lower substrate and an upper substrate with a liquid crystal material in between. The each pixel also has an electrode structure between the lower substrate and the upper substrate. The electrode structure has electrodes, and each electrode has a polygon-shaped electrode surface and a plurality of electrode edges. The electrodes are arranged such that if an electrode edge is facing an electrode edge of an adjacent electrode then the electrode edge and the electrode edge of the adjacent electrode define a distance which is substantially constant along the entire electrode edge.
