New LED technologies & modules allow glare-free automotive lighting. Valeo solutions include the first high-definition lighting system. These LEDs technology endure extreme tests conditions in form of thermal shocks or mechanical vibrations to insure reliability under lifetime usage. Strict regulations require lead-free solders. Advanced optimization for led multilayered and miniaturized stack-...

Infrared-reflective (IRR) treatment of automotive glass has been shown to reduce air temperature in vehicle cabins, thereby increasing fuel economy and occupant comfort. Its effect on radiant heat, however, may augment these benefits. In this study, the hypothesis that radiant heat affects subjective comfort ratings in a vehicle was tested. IRR films were systematically applied to the driver-si...

Crack inspections of automotive engine components are usually conducted manually; this is often tedious, with a high degree subjectivity and cost. Therefore, establishing robust efficient method will improve the accuracy minimize inspection. This paper presents approach towards crack classification, using transfer learning fine-tuning to train pre-trained ConvNet model. Two deep convolutional n...

With the rapid development of aviation, aerospace, navigation, automotive, electronics and other fields, demand for light alloys components is increasing, performance requirements are becoming higher higher, especially large complex [...]

Silicon W-band automotive radars have been an active areas of research and development in the past 12 years, and are in wide use by the automotive industry for collision avoidance and cruise control [1-4]. Recently, several silicon chips have been developed for automotive radars with scanning (or switch-beam capabilities), and the scanning systems are based on digital or RF beamforming techniqu...
