  • Publication number: 20220055540
    Abstract: A camera mirror system for a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view. The camera has a lens that is configured to focus light on an image capture unit and a filter switch that are each arranged in an optical path provided between the lens and the image capture unit. The filter switch has an infrared (IR) filter that is movable into and out of the optical path in response to a IR filter command A display is in communication with the camera and is configured to display the field of view. An IR light-emitting diode (LED) is configured to illuminate the field of view in response to an IR LED command. A controller is in communication with the image capture unit, the filter switch and the IR LED. The controller is configured to provide the IR filter command and the IR LED command in response to a limited-use night vision condition based upon a factor other than an amount of atmospheric light.

  • Patent number: 6397916
    Abstract: The invention relates to a folding door with a door leaf (4) which is movable between a closed position and an open, folded position, in which the door leaf (4) is folded about folding lines between opposite side edges (5) of the door leaf. A plurality of guide members (110-118) are connected to the side edges (5) in a spaced-apart relationship along the same, and two side frames (1) are extended adjacent to a respective side edge (5). Each side frame (1) defines at least a first and a second guide groove (68, 69), which are juxtaposed transversely of the side frame. The guide members comprise, at each side frame (1), a first set of guide members running in the first guide groove (68) only, as well as a second set of guide members running in the second guide groove only (69).
