362037000 | VEHICLE STEERING MECHANISM OR ELEMENT MOVES PIVOTED LAMP OR LAMP SUPPORT | 7 |
20080239698 | PREDICTIVE ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING ALGORITHM FOR BRANCHING ROAD GEOMETRY - A system for predictive front lighting of a vehicle. The system includes at least two headlamps, at least two swivel mechanisms and a controller. The first and second headlamps project a beam pattern for illumination of the vehicle path. The controller receives vehicle position data, as well as, data regarding a most likely path and a secondary path of the vehicle. The controller then calculates the desired swivel angle of the headlamps based on the most likely path of the vehicle and the secondary path of the vehicle, and the swivel mechanisms respectively manipulate each of the headlamps to accordingly change alignment of the headlamps based on the swivel angle for each of the of the headlamps. | 10-02-2008 |
20090052156 | LAMP SYSTEM AND LAMP DEFLECTION CONTROL METHOD - A lamp system and method are provided. The system includes a swivel control section which is configured to control an irradiating direction of a lamp so as to follow a steering angle of a steering wheel of a vehicle, a filter section which is configured to change a following response of a change of the irradiating direction with respect to a change of the steering angle, and a filter control section which is configured to control the filter section to decrease the following response when an angular acceleration of the steering angle is greater than or equal to a reference value. | 02-26-2009 |
20090190323 | AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMP APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMP APPARATUS WHERE HIGH BEAM ILLUMINATION AREA IS CONTROLLED - An automotive headlamp apparatus is provided with a light source for producing a high beam and a controller for controlling illumination from the light source. Given that at least a portion of a high beam illumination area illuminated by the light source is vertically divided into a plurality of blocks, the controller controls illumination from the light source such that a plurality of first regions having a predetermined horizontal width are formed at least in some of the blocks toward the bottom, and that a second region having a greater horizontal width than the first regions is formed in the block toward the top. | 07-30-2009 |
20140177200 | STRUCTURE OF HEADLIGHT COWL - A structure for a headlight cowl for reducing the difference in steering feeling between the starting of a pivotal motion and a succeeding pivotal motion when the handlebar is pivoted so that the driver is less likely to have an uncomfortable feeling. The structure of a headlight cowl includes a steering apparatus supported for pivotal motion on a head pipe at a front end of a vehicle body frame and operable to turn a front wheel in accordance with a steering operation by a driver. A headlight cowl includes left and right side faces for covering the left side and the right side of a headlight provided on a front face of an upper portion of the steering apparatus and for guiding a flow of air to flow rearwardly. The headlight cowl includes projections that individually project outwardly in a vehicle widthwise direction from the left and right side faces. | 06-26-2014 |
362040000 | Manual or steering mechanism control of pivoted lamp | 2 |
20090116213 | APPARATUS FOR ROTATING LAMP SET - An apparatus for rotating a lamp set is provided. The apparatus includes: a motor; a shaft which is rotatable by the motor and includes screw threads formed thereon; a sliding unit which includes a hole having screw threads formed therein that are engaged with the screw threads of the shaft and an insertion ball, the sliding unit being movable along the shaft upon rotation of the shaft; and a holder unit which includes a groove, the insertion ball being inserted into the groove. | 05-07-2009 |
20090190324 | AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMP APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING AUTOMOTIVE HEADLAMP APPARATUS WHERE LIGHT DISTRIBUTION PATTERN IS CONTROLLED - An automotive headlamp apparatus includes a light source for producing a high beam and a headlamp apparatus controller for controlling illumination from a light source. The headlamp apparatus controller divides a light distribution pattern of a high beam formed by illumination from the light source into a plurality of regions and controls illumination from each of the individual regions as divided so as to supplement a light distribution pattern of a low beam. | 07-30-2009 |
362043000 | Plural lamps concurrently moved | 1 |
20090251881 | Motor Vehicle Headlight - A motor vehicle headlight is provided having a basic light source, a swiveling device which is equipped for swiveling the basic light source about a basic swiveling angle, and an infrared radiation source which is coupled with the swiveling device such that, when the basic light source is swiveled by the swiveling device about a basic swiveling angle, the infrared radiation source is swiveled by the swiveling device about an infrared swiveling angle deviating from the basic swiveling angle. | 10-08-2009 |
