  • Publication number: 20170227759
    Abstract: A display screen arrangement is for use in a motor vehicle and includes an electronic display screen. A pair of optical elements are slidably mounted over the display screen and are movable in opposite lateral directions.

  • Publication number: 20170213323
    Abstract: A method of validating a design for a graphical user interface of a motor vehicle includes creating a tentative design, and/or a few drafts or prototype for the graphical user interface. A blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is produced. The blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is tested for readability and whether the overall GUI design is suited to be perceived at a glance. If it is determined that the blurred version of the tentative graphical user interface design is not readable or understandable, then the graphical user interface is redesigned and the producing and testing steps are repeated for the redesigned graphical user interface. After the blurred graphical user interface design has been determined to be readable, then a higher fidelity graphical user interface is made.

  • Publication number: 20170213098
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a camera directed generally toward a driver seat of the vehicle. The camera captures images within a passenger compartment of the vehicle. A text recognition module is communicatively coupled to the camera and recognizes text characters in the captured images. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the text recognition module and interprets the recognized text characters as text information, categorizes the text information, and enters the text information into an application within the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170210285
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an obstacle detector detecting presence of a pedestrian in a forward path of the vehicle and transmitting a first signal indicative of the presence. A processing device is communicatively coupled to the obstacle detector and transmits a second signal in response to receiving the first signal. A display is mounted so as to be visible to the pedestrian and is communicatively coupled to the processing device. The display responds to receiving the second signal by providing a visible indication to the pedestrian that the pedestrian's presence has been detected by the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170123534
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a steering wheel having a capacitive touch sensor positioned and sized to be touched by a driver's thumb while the remaining fingers on the driver's hand are wrapped around an outer edge of the steering wheel. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the display screen and the capacitive touch sensor. The electronic processor zooms in on an image presented on the display screen in response to the driver's thumb being dragged in a first direction across the capacitive touch sensor. The electronic processor zooms out on an image presented on the display screen in response to the driver's thumb being dragged in a second direction across the capacitive touch sensor. The second direction is substantially opposite to the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20160064368
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pattern data creating method includes a calculation process, a determination process, and a correction process. In the calculation process, it is calculated a stress distribution of stresses that are applied to a template when a distance between the template and a substrate on which resist are disposed is predetermined, the template including a template pattern. In the determination process, it is determined whether or not there is a stress concentration spot in the template pattern at which a stress value larger than a predetermined criterion value is to appear. If the stress concentration spot is present, in the correction process, it is a corrected pattern data of the template pattern such that the stress value at the stress concentration spot becomes a stress value not larger than the predetermined criterion value.

  • Publication number: 20150048559
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a mold manufacturing method includes obtaining a first distribution, obtaining a second distribution, generating a correction data, and forming a second mold. The first distribution is a distribution of level difference included in a first layer on a substrate. The obtaining the second distribution obtains the second distribution when a first mold having the concave-convex pattern is brought into contact with a photosensitive resin applied on the first layer and the resin is cured. The second distribution is a distribution of film thickness of the resin remaining between the substrate and a convex pattern feature of a concave-convex pattern. The correction data is a data for suppressing a difference between one of the first distribution and the second distribution, and a film thickness of a reference set beforehand. The second mold is different from the first mold using the correction data.

  • Publication number: 20140346701
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pattern formation device that presses a template that includes a concave and convex part onto a transferring object and that forms a pattern in which a shape of the concave and convex part is transferred is provided. The device includes: a calculation part; an adjustment part; and a transfer. The calculation part calculates, using design information of the pattern, the distribution of force applied to the pattern at a time of releasing the template pressed onto the transferring object from the transferring object. The adjustment part adjusts forming conditions of the pattern in order to uniformly approach the distribution of force calculated by the calculation part. The transfer part transfers the shape of the concave and convex part to the transferring object according to the forming conditions adjusted by the adjustment part.
