VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240317027 titled 'VEHICLE
The patent application describes a vehicle with a front window, a camera on the cabin side of the front window, and a heater to raise the temperature of the front window area within the camera's field of view. The front window consists of a first window panel in the vehicle body's window frame and a second window panel separate from the first one, with a heat insulation member between them.
- The vehicle includes a front window, a camera, and a heater for the front window area.
- The front window has two panels with a heat insulation member between them.
- The camera captures images of the external environment through the front window.
- The heater raises the temperature of the area within the camera's field of view.
- The design aims to improve visibility and functionality in various weather conditions.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for improved visibility and safety features. - Transportation vehicles for enhanced monitoring and surveillance systems. - Commercial vehicles for better driver assistance and navigation tools.
Problems Solved: - Reduced fogging and condensation on the front window. - Enhanced visibility for the camera in adverse weather conditions. - Improved overall safety and functionality of the vehicle.
Benefits: - Increased safety for drivers and passengers. - Enhanced visibility for monitoring and surveillance purposes. - Improved efficiency and performance in various weather conditions.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Visibility and Safety Features for Vehicles This technology can be utilized in various vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, and emergency vehicles, to enhance visibility, safety, and functionality. The market implications include increased demand for vehicles with advanced safety features and improved monitoring systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the heater system work to raise the temperature of the front window area? 2. What are the specific benefits of having a two-panel front window design with a heat insulation member?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle includes a front window, a camera disposed on a cabin side of the front window to capture an image of an external environment through the front window, and a heater for raising a temperature of an area of the front window including a region inside a field of view of the camera. the front window includes: a first window panel fitted into a window frame of a vehicle body; and a second window panel formed as a separate member from the first window panel and disposed in the area including the region inside the field of view of the camera. a heat insulation member is disposed between the first window panel and the second window panel.
