Abstract: A heat transfer device for integrating with a backlight unit for an edge-lit motor vehicle display apparatus includes an anterior capillary tube operable to integrate with a rear side of the backlight unit, the anterior capillary tube further operable to dissipate heat from an anterior of a backlight unit of a motor vehicle display. The heat transfer device further includes a posterior capillary tube operable to be positioned away from the backlight unit, the posterior capillary tube further operable to dissipate heat from a posterior of a backlight unit of a motor vehicle display. The heat transfer device further comprises a phase changing medium operable to fluidly transfer between the first capillary tube and the second pillar tube during a heat transfer process, where the phase changing medium is operable to phase change between a gaseous state and a liquid state during the heat transfer process.

Abstract: A dual graphic label for an input element of a control device for selectively displaying a first graphic information and a second graphic information includes a first light source, a second light source, an optical masking shield, a light conducting body, and a display face. The optical masking shield has a light blocking surface with a light permeable area in a shape of the first graphic information. The light conducting body has a surface with a light diffusion area in a shape of the second graphic information. The first light source emits a first light ray and the second light source emits a second light ray. The optical masking shield is arranged between the first light source and the light conducting body, and the light conducting body is arranged between the display face and the optical masking shield.

Abstract: A motion detecting device has a stationary plastic sensor carrier. The stationary plastic sensor carrier has two sensor carrier sections and an insulation section. The carrier section has a first plastic material and the insulation section has a second plastic material. The insulation section extends between two adjacent sensor carrier sections. The sensor carrier sections and the at least one insulation section are integrally formed by a plastic molding process. Plated metal sensing surfaces are provided on the surfaces of the sensor carrier sections. Surface electrode contacts connect the plated metal sensing surface electrodes with a PCB and define at least one capacitive area between at the plated metal sensing surface electrodes. A plastic knob element is movably arranged on the plastic sensor carrier, such that the insulating plastic separator sections and the plated metal sensing surface electrodes are at least partly covered by the knob element.
