A control unit () for an apparatus (), the control unit () comprising a component-carrying member () provided with at least one electronic component () configured to provide a function of the apparatus (); wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit (). The control unit is provided with an injection moulded layer (') encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component ().

Control unit

The present disclosure relates to a multi-function transducer assembly and system comprising a multi-function transducer assembly, a method of manufacturing the assembly and a method of controlling the system. The assembly includes a piezoelectric transducer layer and spaced first terminals electrically attached to the piezoelectric transducer layer. The spaced first terminals are arranged for supplying an audio frequency signal to the piezoelectric transducer layer so that the assembly can function as a speaker. Second terminals are arranged for receiving at least one signal from the piezoelectric transducer layer or supplying at least one signal to the piezoelectric transducer layer. The second terminals are electrically attached to a region of the piezoelectric transducer layer between the spaced first terminals.

Multi-function transducer assembly and system

A control unit for an apparatus, the control unit comprising: a component-carrying member provided with at least one electronic component configured to provide a function of the apparatus; wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit; and a laminate encapsulation layer encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component. Optionally, the control unit comprises a second member which defines a user-interaction surface.

The present invention relates to a sun visor () for a vehicle (). The sun visor comprises a light source () for providing illumination within the vehicle, and a printed electronic circuit () located within the sun visor for controlling operation of the light source. The sun visor may include a light dispersion device () for dispersing light emitted by the light source, which may include a body portion () extending over the printed electronic circuit and a light emission portion () extending around the body portion and arranged to transmit light from the light source to the outside of the sun visor.

Sun visor for a vehicle

The present invention relates to a speaker device () having a first diaphragm () and a second diaphragm (). A first magnet () is mounted to the first diaphragm () and a second magnet () is mounted to the second diaphragm (). The first magnet () is a first electromagnet having a first coil () and a power source driver is provided for supplying an electrical drive signal to the first coil () to establish said first magnetic field. The first and second magnets () are arranged to generate first and second interacting magnetic fields which drive the first and second diaphragms (). The invention also relates to a speaker device () in which the second diaphragm () is replaced with a fixed back plate (). The present invention also relates to a speaker assembly () made up of an array of the speaker devices (). The speaker device () can be used in a motor vehicle.

Speaker device

A vehicle comprises a driver display on which is displayed an advisory maximum wading speed according to the current wading depth of the vehicle. The advisory speed is in one embodiment displayed on the vehicle speedometer. The display may also include an elevation of a vehicle on which is indicated one or more of maximum wading depth, current wading depth and vehicle inclination.

Wading vehicle advisory speed display

A vehicle () comprising a wading information display () and a wading depth sensor, the display showing an elevation of a vehicle on which is superimposed the current wading depth. The display may also indicate simultaneously the maximum wading depth calculated according to the ride height of the vehicle, the inclination of the vehicle by inclination of the displayed elevation, and an advisory speed according to wading depth and/or vehicle inclination.

Wading vehicle water level display

A vehicle () comprising a wading information display (), a memory and a processor, the memory containing a program configured to run on the processor to calculate the maximum wading depth of the vehicle from the measured suspension travel, and to display the maximum wading depth on the display. The display may also show a dual wading depth, an advisory wading speed, and vehicle inclination.

A computing device having a display portion for displaying information and a user input portion for receiving an input from a user. The device is operable to display a first set of user-selectable function elements in a first format and is responsive to an input from a user corresponding to a user-selected portion of the display portion to display a second set of function elements that include one or more function elements of the first set of user-selectable function elements that are associated with the selected portion of the display portion in a second format different from the first format. The device is operable to allow a function element displayed in the second format to be selected by the user thereby to execute a function associated with the element.
