A message center that can comprise a liquid crystal display (LCD) is provided. The LCD can be divided into one or more zones, with each zone being designated for a specific message. The message center can also include a light guide system positioned behind the liquid crystal display. The light guide system can have one or more light guides, with each of the light guides having a first end, and each of the light guides can be aligned with a zone of the liquid crystal display. The message center can further include a multi-color light emitting diode (LED) that can be mounted at the first end of each of the light guides, and a control system that can set the intensity of each of the multi-colors on each of the LEDs such that a backlighting of each zone is individually controlled.

System and method for instrument panel with color graphical display

A system implementing an embedded software application having at least one data type includes a first memory that stores a constant part of the at least one data type (class), a second memory that stores a variable part of the at least one data type (class), and a linking object that actively links the first memory and the second memory such that the constant part and the variable part are aggregated into the at least one data type (class). A method for implementing an embedded software application includes storing the constant part in a first memory, storing the variable part in a second memory, defining a linking object between the constant part and the variable part, and implementing the embedded software application by implementing the constant part, which is stored in the first memory, and implementing the at least one variable part, which stored in the second memory, by implementing the linking object.
