Abstract: A device for cleaning an optical lens of a parking assistance camera includes at least one inner annular body and at least one outer annular body. The at least one outer annular body is configured such that the fluid chamber is closed with respect to surroundings of the device when the at least one outer annular body is in the resting position. The at least one outer annular body is configured such that the fluid chamber is open with respect to the surroundings of the device such that when said at least one outer annular body is in the cleaning position, a fluid introduced into the fluid chamber exits the fluid chamber in the direction of the optical lens. The at least one fluid supply element opening into the fluid chamber is disposed on the at least one inner annular body.

Abstract: A cleaning device for an optical lens of a parking assistance camera includes an inner annular body arranged on the optical lens immovably and so as to partially surround the optical lens radially on the outside, on which inner annular body a receptacle is arranged which is configured annularly and so as to be open towards the object space of the optical lens, and an outer annular body which is arranged coaxially with respect to the inner annular body and at least partially within the receptacle. The outer body is arranged such that it can be moved axially relative to the inner body between an extended cleaning position and a retracted rest position. The outer body is loaded in the direction of the rest position thereof with a restoring force. A fluid chamber is arranged between the inner body and the outer body.

Abstract: A vehicle operator interface system and method for a diesel particulate filter regeneration system, includes a control unit for receiving information on regeneration status of a vehicle diesel particulate filter and receiving information on operational status of selected vehicle systems and components, a visual display for displaying messages to an operator indicative of said regeneration status and said operational status, an input device for highlighting a portion of the displayed messages and for providing an input selection of a highlighted portion, an input selection being communicated to a control device to carry out the input selection.

Abstract: The invention (reducer) consists of one (1) piece of circular foam or sponge to be placed into a regulation golf hole for the purpose of reducing the opening of the regulation golf hole. The invention will have an outer diameter slightly larger than the size of a regulation golf hole, with a circular hole cut out of the middle. The inner circular cut out diameter is smaller than a regulation golf hole but larger than the size of a regulation golf ball. Since the size of the outer diameter is slightly larger than the size of a regulation golf hole, the reducer is held in place inside the regulation golf hole frictionally. The reducer is to be comprised of a foam or sponge material. The reducer is to be color coordinated to resemble a regulation golf putting green and regulation golf hole. A regulation golf hole is a circular hole cut into a golf putting green, in which the surrounding grass is a shade of green, and then the inside of the regulation golf hole is painted white.

Abstract: A system and method for digitally detecting the presence of analyte particles within a sample is disclosed herein. Each analyte particle is disposed to emit an optical response upon illumination in a known manner. The digital analyte detection system includes optical apparatus for illuminating a multiplicity of distinct pixel regions within the sample so as to induce each of the analyte particles included therein to emit at least one optical response. The pixel regions are dimensioned such that the number of analyte particles included within each region is less than a maximum detection threshold proportional to variability of the optical responses.The digital detection system further includes apparatus for measuring the emitted signal emitted from each pixel region. A data processing network receives the measurements of the emitted signals and, based on the measurements, counts the number of analyte particles within each pixel region so as to determine the number of analyte particles within the sample.
