Publication number: 20260148466Abstract: An animation system receives a curve network is bound to a rest pose of an animated object. The animation system receives an initial keyframe and a destination keyframe of the curve network. The initial keyframe represents a corresponding starting pose of the animated object and the destination keyframe represents a corresponding destination pose of the animated object. The animation system generates a sequence of intermediate curve networks representing poses of the object between the initial keyframe and the destination keyframe. The animation system generates the sequence of intermediate curve networks by interpolating from the initial keyframe to the destination keyframe using the curve network. The animation system then renders the initial keyframe, the sequence of intermediate curve networks, and the destination keyframe to generate an animation of the object from the initial keyframe to the destination keyframe.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2024Publication date: May 28, 2026Inventors: Jean-Marc Thiery, Tamy Boubekeur, Stephanie Wang, Qingnan Zhou, Jeremie Dumas, Giorgio Gori, Patrick Schmidt

Patent number: 12584602Abstract: Illumination device for a motor vehicle headlight. The device has a light source, a light-permeable body (LPB), a light injection element for injecting light from the light source into the LPB, and a projection device. Light from the light source forms a light distribution with a cut-off line formed by a screen edge of a screen device, which is formed by a boundary surface of the LPB. A sign light light source (SLLS) and a further sign light light injection element (SLLIE) associated with the SLLS are provided. The SLLIE forms the light emitted by the SLLS into a third light beam and directs the third light beam onto the boundary surface, which re-enter the LPB and are projected by the projection optics device as a sign light light beam into a region of the light distribution lying above the cut-off line and are displayed as sign light light distribution.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2024Date of Patent: March 24, 2026Assignee: ZKW Group GmbHInventors: Christian Knobloch, Patrick Schmidt, Daniel Seitl

Patent number: 12326232Abstract: A lighting device for a vehicle headlamp includes a plurality of light sources; a first lens element (FLE) downstream of the light sources; and a second lens element (SLE) downstream of the FLE. A light receiving surface (LRS) of the FLE is formed by a main-area and a sub-area. The light sources and LRS are distanced to each other whereby a first fraction of light is emitted towards the sub-area and a second fraction is emitted towards the main-area. The light sources, FLE, and SLE are configured to create a complete or partial, preferably adaptive, high beam light distribution with two sections. The sub-area and main-area are configured to refract impinging light, wherein refraction of light by the sub-area and main-area is such that a first intensity maximum of a first section is vertically lower in front of the lighting device than a second intensity maximum of the second section.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2024Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: ZKW Group GmbHInventors: Christian Knobloch, Markus Danner, Patrick Schmidt
