  • Publication number: 20160114730
    Abstract: An inside mirror assembly of a vehicle, the assembly having an improved structure capable of implementing reflective surfaces of a day mode and a night mode according to light reflectivity. The mirror assembly has a simplified mechanism for operating a tilting reflective plate by adopting two pivot shafts to it. The tilting reflective plate is prevented from vibrating, and play is prevented using the tensile force of a spring.

  • Publication number: 20150168299
    Abstract: An integrated sensor apparatus of a vehicle is provided that includes a light emitter that is configured to emit a light source having an area of a predetermined range or greater to a first region of a windshield. A light receiver is configured to receive the light source emitted by the light emitter and reflected from the first region of the windshield and an external light source incident from the exterior to the windshield. Further, a light guider is configured to be attached to the windshield to guide the light source emitted by the light emitter to be reflected from the first region of the windshield and arrive at the light receiver. An image sensor is configured to sense a plurality of image patterns from the light source reflected by the first region of the windshield and the external light source incident into the windshield from the exterior.

  • Patent number: 8843270
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a wiper motor control system for a vehicle, which precisely controls the speed of the wiper motor to improve the wiper performance. The present disclosure implements a wiper motor control method in a new form, which precisely controls a speed of the wiper motor for each section through a scheme of improving a plate structure of the wiper motor and monitoring a state of a parking switch, and thus reduces a noise generated in an operation of a wiper device and increases the wiping performance through a differentiated speed for each section, which generally improves the wiper performance. More specifically, the present disclosure implements a smart ECW (Electric Control Wiper) control module inputting a remote control by a wireless transmitter, so that a driver can wirelessly control a wiper before getting into a vehicle, which makes the driver feel convenience and induces the driver to safely drive.
