Abstract: A driver monitoring camera comprises an optical sensor configured to take an image of a driver of a vehicle, an inclination sensor configured to determine an inclination of the driver monitoring camera with respect to a vehicle coordinate system and a processor configured to determine a pose of the driver in a driver monitoring camera coordinate system from the image and configured to transform the pose of the driver in the driver monitoring camera coordinate system to a pose of the driver in the vehicle coordinate system using the determined inclination.

Abstract: A display unit including a liquid crystal layer, a plurality of optical layers and an imaging device. The imaging device is aligned to a portion of the display unit, the portion configured to transmit more than 10% of light rays to the imaging device. A method of assembling the same is also provided.

Abstract: An imaging device suitable for a motor vehicle and a method of providing the same is disclosed herein. The imaging device has an optical assembly arranged using a plurality of lenses and an image sensor to convert light rays received by the optical assembly. Specifically, the optical assembly comprises of a plurality of lenses stacked together. The optical assembly and image sensor are aligned using an active alignment process with six degrees of freedom in a x, y and z-axis, which determines a position of the optical assembly relative to the image sensor.

Abstract: A communication device and method are presented. The device is in a network of devices of different groups. The device contains a push-to-talk (PTT) button, a channel selector, and a keyboard containing hard or soft keys. The channel selector selects an initial frequency at which to receive and transmit, dependent on the group to which the device belongs. The device transmits when the PTT button is pressed. If a multiple PTT function is activated by software in the device, at least some of the keys are used to select a new transmission frequency. The device receives at the initial frequency independent of the transmission frequency. The multiple PTT function can be activated by a dedicated soft or hard key or a key on the keyboard that serves multiple functions. The frequency selection provided by the keys is dependent on the channel and the device group.
