  • Device and method for detecting the sparkle effect of a transparent sample arranged in front of an image source
    Patent number: 11467435
    Abstract: A device for detecting a sparkle effect of a transparent sample arranged in front of an image source, to which also a first polarizer having an optical axis of polarization is associated, wherein the detection device includes an imaging system, and wherein the transparent sample, the first polarizer and the imaging system are arranged along an optical path originated from the image source. The detection device includes a second polarizer, arranged between the transparent sample and the imaging system, having an optical axis of polarization directed at ninety degrees with respect to the optical axis of polarization of the first polarizer.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of manufacture of a component for a motor-vehicle interior
    Patent number: 10315345
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a component for a motor-vehicle interior with an associated film in which an electronic circuit is integrated with at least one proximity sensor includes the step of thermoforming the film on a mold element and the step of injection of plastic material in a mold cavity in such a way as to obtain a component for interior of motor-vehicle comprising a body of substantially transparent plastic material associated to the film. The component includes one or more proximity sensors for activating a functional component of the motor-vehicle.
