20090316265 | Mirror Assembly with Single Heating Element for Multiple Surfaces - A rearview mirror assembly for a motor vehicle includes a mirror bracket fixedly secured to the motor vehicle. A mirror case is secured to the mirror bracket. The mirror case defines a primary opening. A backing plate is operatively connected to the mirror case. A mirror is fixedly secured to the backing plate. The mirror defines a substrate having a first surface and a second surface. The second surface defines a primary mirror surface and a spot mirror surface formed within the second surface. The rearview mirror assembly also includes a heating element fixedly secured to the second surface of the mirror for heating the mirror. The heating element includes a primary portion fixedly secured to the primary surface and a secondary portion fixedly secured to the spot mirror surface. | 12-24-2009 |
20100315732 | REARVIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY HAVING A COMPOSITE REFLECTIVE SURFACE - An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing defining an interior and including a mirror opening oriented rearward when the exterior rearview mirror assembly is secured to the motor vehicle. A backing plate is operatively connected to the housing in the interior. The backing plate is selectively moveable within the housing. A primary mirror is fixedly secured to a first portion of the backing plate. A secondary mirror is fixedly secured to a second portion of the backing plate. The secondary mirror is spaced apart from the primary mirror. An adhesive member extends between the backing plate and the primary and secondary mirrors such that the single adhesive member secures all of the primary and secondary mirrors to the backing plate. A demarcation divider separates the primary and secondary mirrors. The demarcation divider is secured to the backing plate. | 12-16-2010 |

20100195228 | FUNCTIONAL FIELD OF VIEW FOR BLIND SPOT MIRRORS - An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a motor vehicle includes a mounting bracket securable to a lateral side of a vehicle. A mirror case is secured to the mirror bracket. A primary reflector is fixedly secured to the primary portion of the backing plate. The primary reflector defines a primary field of view extending laterally away from the lateral side of the motor vehicle. A secondary reflector defines a secondary field of view extending laterally in space disposed adjacent the lateral side of the motor vehicle, wherein the secondary field of view overlaps the primary field of view in a range of 20% to 80%. The field of view of the secondary reflector is also directed downwardly with respect to the field of view of the primary reflector. | 08-05-2010 |

20090184687 | Method and Apparatus for Battery Charging Based on Battery Capacity and Charging Source Constraints - A battery charging circuit sets charging current according to either the capacity of the battery under charge or a constraint of the charging source, depending on the properties of the charging source. The battery charging circuit sets termination current, however, according to the capacity of the battery under charge, regardless of the properties of the charging source. For example, the termination current may be set as a fixed fraction of the recommended C rate of the battery even if the charging current supplied by the charging source is below this C rate. Always setting the termination current in proportion to the battery's capacity permits detection of the current at which charging should terminate even when the charging current is constrained by the charging source and no longer depends on the battery's capacity. | 07-23-2009 |
20120081036 | AUTOMATIC DROPOUT PREVENTION IN LED DRIVERS - A system and method is provided for preventing a dropout of an LED current. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system includes a voltage source, a first circuit, a second circuit, a controller, and at least one LED. The first circuit receives a reference voltage from the voltage source, receives set-point current data from the controller, and uses the reference voltage and the set-point current data to produce a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is then provided to the second circuit, where it is converted into an output current, which is drawn through the LED. The second circuit then compares the threshold voltage to an output voltage corresponding to the output current, and provides an output to the controller. The controller then uses the output to determine whether a dropout has occurred. If a dropout has occurred, then second set-point current data is provided to the first circuit. | 04-05-2012 |
