  • Patent number: 11293799
    Abstract: A sensing device includes an aperture structure having an aperture and imaging optics configured to direct polychromatic light toward the aperture. The imaging optics separates the light according to spectral range longitudinally along a first axis The aperture substantially transmits a spectral range of the light and substantially blocks other spectral ranges of the light. An optical detector is arranged to receive the spectral range of the light that is transmitted through the aperture. The optical detector generate an electrical output that corresponds to a centroid of the spectral range of the light.

  • Publication number: 20210146897
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a braking assembly of a motor vehicle, in which a first hydraulic braking system is operated as a function of a target deceleration. A second electromechanical braking system can be activated for decelerating the motor vehicle. It is proposed that a braking force of the second braking system is dependent on an actual deceleration.

  • Patent number: 9353932
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) light bulb includes a base and at least one support structure coupled to the base. The support structure is formed into a shape that defines contours for a luminous surface and an open volume. The LED light bulb includes least one LED assembly comprising two or more electrically connected LEDs. The LED assembly is attached to and in physical contact with the support structure along a length of the support structure to form the luminous surface. The support structure has openings between neighboring segments of the LED assembly.
