  • Lighting assembly and illumination system having a lighting assembly
    Patent number: 11994272
    Abstract: A lighting assembly includes an upper mount having a pan gear and a plurality of indicator flanges. A lower mount is operably coupled to the lower mount and includes a pan motor and a tilt motor. A printed circuit board is operably coupled to the upper mount and includes a plurality of sensors. At least one sensor is selectively and operably coupled with the plurality of indicator flanges of the upper mount. A light module is operably coupled to the lower mount and includes a tilt gear operably coupled to the lower mount. A controller is operably coupled to the printed circuit board, the pan motor, and the tilt motor and is configured to rotate the lower mount and the light module via the pan motor and is configured to tilt the light module via the tilt motor.

  • System and method for display fault monitoring
    Patent number: 11263986
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle comprises a pixel array comprising a plurality of display elements. The device further comprises at least one test element and a controller. The controller is configured to selectively activate the display elements of the pixel array via a plurality of control signals and identify the activation of the at least one test element in response to at least one of the control signals. The controller is further configured to identify a display fault of the display device by comparing the at least one control signal communicated to the at least one test element to a diagnostic signal communicated from the at least one test element.
