Abstract: A method displays information graphically on an image captured by a vehicular optical system. The method includes capturing the image and identifying an object in the image. The method the assigns a priority level to the object based on a predetermined criterion. The object is altered based on its priority level to create an altered object. An altered object may have a changed color, a colored halo surrounding it, or a colored object inside it. Other possible ways to alter the way the object looks are possible. The altered object is displayed in the image in place of the object on a mobile device to alert a person of its presence and the priority level associated therewith.

Abstract: A method is shown to indicate to a driver of a vehicle the presence of an object moving relative to the vehicle. The method begins by collecting data using a camera or other such image capturing device. The data is analyzed to detect a hazard created by the presence of the object, regardless of whether it is moving or not. A warning associated with the hazard is created. Both the hazard and the warning are displayed using the display device.

Abstract: A housing or pocket for supporting a light guide device for an illumination device, especially for a motor vehicle or an indicator device in a rearview device of a motor vehicle. The housing has a first side which is configured to support the light guiding device for exposure to the pictogram of the reflection layer. The housing also include a second side containing exposed wire connectors to connect the light guide device to a power source. One of the light guide device, the printed circuit board or both structures are fitted with an encapsulation member and secured to the housing through the use of a fixative mount.

Abstract: An adjustable rearview device, especially a side-view mirror for a motor vehicle, has a mirror head, a mirror base and at least one joint device. The joint device is arranged between the mirror head and mirror base and includes at least one elastomeric element and an axis of rotation around which the mirror head can move. The mirror head is configured to move, particularly by rotating or folding relative to the mirror base, from a first functional position to at least one second functional position. In the first functional position, the elastomeric element holds the mirror head. In at least one second functional position, the elastomeric element is stretched or compressed. The adjustable rearview device has at least one electrical conductor, which extends at least between the mirror base and mirror head. The electrical conductor is elastically deformable at least in the direction of its longitudinal dimension.
