    Abstract: A control circuit controls at least one lighting device in a vehicle, preferably in a motor vehicle and includes at least a first output channel and at least a second output channel. The first output channel is adapted to provide a first maximum current, and the second output channel is adapted to provide a second maximum current. At least the first and second output channels are suited to be combined into a third output channel, wherein the third output channel provides a third maximum current. The third maximum current corresponds to the sum of at least a share of the first maximum current and at least a share of the second maximum current.

    Abstract: A single arm telescoping mirror apparatus comprising a mirror base and mirror head. In one embodiment, a mirror base having a wear plate secured to a single support arm which frictionally engages a single telescoping tube of the mirror head. Furthermore, a mirror base having a roller assembly which frictionally engage the inner wall of a single telescoping tube of the mirror head. Frictional forces created minimize the telescopic or vibrational movement of the mirror head during use of a vehicle. In another aspect, a wear plate is secured to a single telescoping tube while, roller assemblies are attached to a support arm which frictionally engage ridges of the telescoping tube.

    Abstract: A display arrangement for a motor vehicle can be disposed in a rear view device such as an interior- or exterior rear view mirror. The display arrangement may include at least one light source and at least one optical unit. The at least one optical unit may include at least one light-conducting body having at least one coupling-in section through which light emitted by at least one light source can be coupled into the light-conducting body and having at least one coupling-out section through which light can be coupled out of the light-conducting body. The at least one optical unit also comprises at least one optical means which at least in some sections is or can be secured to the light conducting body such that it is overlaid on the surface of the at least one coupling-out section of said light-conducting body. The optical means comprises at least one optical element by means of which a beam path of at least the light passing through the optical element can be deflected and/or split into light bundles, in particular scattered. The display arrangement is characterized in that the optical means includes a plurality of optical elements which, when they are at the same distance from the coupling-in section of the light-conducting body, correspond in their refraction- and/or reflection behavior and, in the opposite case, differ. Further provided are a rear view device comprising such a display arrangement, and a motor vehicle comprising such a rear view device.

    Abstract: A rear view device for a vehicle for optimizing airflow includes a spoiler, the spoiler including a flexible surface layer (which is reversibly deformable and which is arranged to cover an opening in a surface of the rear view mirror. The spoiler may include at least one stamp having active material for deforming the flexible surface layer where the at least one stamp is adapted to translate between a retracted and a deployed position.

    Abstract: A sealing apparatus for a rear-view device, such as an interior or exterior mirror or camera, of a motor vehicle, which sealing apparatus can be arranged between a base part and a head part, which head part can be moved, in particular rotated, in relation to the base part from a home position to at least one fold-down position, comprising at least one sealing element, which can be or is fastened to the base part or to the head part and which can be or is arranged in a sealing arrangement, in which sealing arrangement the sealing element closes a gap between the base part and the head part while lying against the base part and against the head part. The sealing apparatus is distinguished by at least one spacing element, by means of which the sealing element can be transferred from the sealing arrangement to a release arrangement at least in phases, at least during the motion of the head part from the home position to the fold-down position, in which release arrangement the sealing element is arranged without contact with respect to the head part and/or the base part.
