  • Patent number: 11339940
    Abstract: A lighting module for an automotive vehicle. The module comprises a support, for example made by a heat dissipation device, and a printed circuit board accommodating at least one light source of a first type. The printed circuit board is housed on the support. The lighting module proposes allowing light sources of a second type, generating, for example, a different amount of heat, to be housed so that the rays arising from the two types of sources may be coupled into one and the same light guide, while efficiently dissipating the heat generated by each of the types of light sources.

  • Patent number: 11178736
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic assembly for an automotive lighting device. The inventive electronic assembly comprises a first group of light source connections and at least one jumper where each jumper is arranged to bypass a first spare light source connection belonging to the first group of light source connections by putting its first and second terminals in electrical contact. Hence when in operation, the first spare light source connection does not receive any light source. The first group of light source connections are intended to receive light sources which are used for the same lighting function. The invention also relates to a lighting device that includes such an electronic assembly with a method that includes manufacturing such a lighting device.

  • Patent number: 10232210
    Abstract: The present device generally relates to a portable and configurable exercise apparatus. The apparatus has a main aim unit and a removable foot unit. The main arm unit has a first hand grip and a second hand grip separated by a main telescoping shaft wherein pulling the first grip away from the second grip requires resistance and, therein develops strength. The device is configurable so as to allow the user to select the desired resistance. The removable foot unit may be temporarily inserted over the first or the second hand grip so that a user may place his/her feet (either standing, sitting or squatting) over the first or second hand grip and may pull upward with the remaining hand grip to exercise alternative muscles. The first and the second hand grip may rotate with respect to the main body shaft to allow alternative exercises.
