  • Publication number: 20220144187
    Abstract: A trailer-camera system for a vehicle coupled to a trailer. The system includes a first plurality of cameras configured to capture a video image including a region of interest surrounding the trailer, a second plurality of cameras configured to capture a video image including a region of interest surrounding the vehicle, and an electronic processor. The processor is configured to receive images from the first and second plurality of cameras and determine a trailer angle. The processor is further configured to generate a first 360-degree image view of an area surrounding the trailer based on an image stitching of the first plurality of images, generate a second 360-degree image view of an area surrounding the vehicle based on an image stitching of the second plurality of images, and generate a combined 360-degree image view from the first and second views based on the trailer angle.

  • Publication number: 20170038083
    Abstract: A humidifier for treating humidified air with germicidal light is provided. The humidifier includes a water reservoir, an atomizer to atomize a supply of water, and an ultraviolet light source to expose the atomized water to germicidal light. The ultraviolet light source extends vertically within a cylindrical channel to irradiate the atomized water dissipating upwardly from the atomizer. The water reservoir can include a carbon filter and a hardness-removing module for removing containments and metal oxides from the water supply. A control panel indicates the remaining useful life of the ultraviolet light source, the carbon filter and the hardness-removing module based on historical humidifier usage and water quality levels.
