Patent number: 11904759Abstract: A vehicle headlamp system includes a vehicle supported power and control system including a data bus. A sensor module can be connected to the data bus to provide information related to environmental conditions or information relating to presence and position of other vehicles and pedestrians. A separate headlamp controller can be connected to the vehicle supported power and control system and the sensor module through the bus. The headlamp controller can include an image frame buffer that can refresh held images at greater than 30 Hz speed. An active LED pixel array can be connected to the headlamp controller to project light according to a pattern and intensity defined by the image held in the image frame buffer and a standby image buffer can be connected to the image frame buffer to hold a default image.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Ronald Johannes Bonne, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj

Patent number: 11854384Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources improves the ability of a human or automated motor vehicle driver to identify and avoid pedestrians. The one or more light sources may provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on a road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object or pedestrians along the portion of the road surface. The one or more light sources may project images on the ground or on other surfaces. The light source may be carried by a pedestrian or on personal transport used by a pedestrian. The light sources may be stationary and provide lighting for a pedestrian street crossing.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Michael Camras, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj

Publication number: 20230392986Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for determining range of an object using a single camera. Specifically, an approach to utilizing a computing device to capture range-related information from an object (also called a “target”) using illumination parallax and spectral analysis of corresponding images is disclosed herein. To achieve illumination parallax, a series of illumination events may be performed in sequence, such that the target is sequentially illuminated with different ranges of electromagnetic radiation. Information regarding the target can be computed, inferred, or otherwise determined through analysis of images captured in conjunction with the illumination events.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Dan Allen, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj

Patent number: 11145794Abstract: Light Emitting Devices (LEDs) are fabricated on a wafer substrate with one or more thick metal layers that provide structural support to each LED. The streets, or lanes, between individual LEDs do not include this metal, and the wafer can be easily sliced/diced into singulated self-supporting LEDs. Because these devices are self-supporting, a separate support submount is not required. Before singulation, further processes may be applied at the wafer-level; after singulation, these self-supporting LEDs may be picked and placed upon an intermediate substrate for further processing as required. In an embodiment of this invention, protective optical domes are formed over the light emitting devices at the wafer-level or while the light emitting devices are situated on the intermediate substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Lumileds LLCInventors: Salman Akram, Jyoti Kiron Bhardwaj
