  • Publication number: 20230311766
    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a rearview mirror display system with a visible surface and having a mirror mode and a display mode. The visible surface functions as a mirror in the mirror mode. The visible surface displays an electronically produced image in the display mode. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the rearview mirror display system. The electronic processor detects that the display mode is not operating properly, and, in response to the detecting, automatically switches the rearview mirror display system from the display mode to the mirror mode.

  • Publication number: 20200130583
    Abstract: A rearview display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a rearview image sensor positioned to capture first images of a scene behind the motor vehicle. A rearview display screen has a display mode and a mirror mode, in the display mode, the rearview display screen receives video signals based on the captured first images and displays second images based on the video signals. In the mirror mode, the rearview display screen functions as a rearview mirror. An electronic processing apparatus is communicatively coupled to the rearview image sensor and to the rearview display screen. The electronic processing apparatus detects a fault in the captured first images or in the video signals, and, in response to the detecting, switches the rearview display screen from the display mode to the mirror mode.

  • Patent number: 4014745
    Abstract: The susceptibility of bacteria, particularly those derived from body fluids, to antimicrobial agents is determined in terms of an ATP index measured by culturing a bacterium in a growth medium, assaying the amount of ATP in a sample of the cultured bacterium by measuring the amount of luminescent light emitted when the bacterial ATP is reacted with a luciferase-luciferin mixture, subjecting the sample of the cultured bacterium to an antibiotic agent and assaying the amount of bacterial adenosine triphosphate after treatment with the antibiotic by measuring the luminescent light resulting from the reaction, whereby the ATP index is determined from the values obtained from the assay procedures.
