Abstract: Detecting off-zone crashes involving a vehicle using lateral acceleration values detected at locations within the vehicle. In one example method, an electronic processor receives a first acceleration value at a centerline of the vehicle from a first acceleration sensor of at least two acceleration sensors. The electronic processor also receives a second acceleration value at the centerline of the vehicle from a second acceleration sensor of the at least two acceleration sensors. The method also includes deriving, with the electronic processor, an approximate yaw acceleration at the centerline of the vehicle based on the first acceleration value and the second acceleration value. The method also includes comparing, with the electronic processor, the approximate yaw acceleration to a threshold and initiating, with the electronic processor, one or more actions in response to the yaw acceleration exceeding the threshold.

Abstract: A system includes one or more channel members used to vent a headlight housing. An aperture is included in the upper part of the housing that allows for the circulation of hot air out of the headlight internal chamber. At an outlet of the channel member, a hydrophobic membrane can be used to allow the venting of hot air while preventing condensate from the environment into the system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for thermally distributing hot air generated in a vehicle headlamp. A channel is defined between different chambers in the headlamp to allow for air circulation, thus reducing hot spots inside the housing around light sources which might compromise internal structures or devices.
