This technology relates to a system for clearing a sensor cover. The system may be comprised of a first sensor that rotates within a sensor cover, a plurality of second sensors that are fixed relative to the sensor cover, a first wiper that is configured to clear the sensor cover of debris, and a motor. The motor may rotate the first wiper in a first direction at a first predetermined rotation rate defined at least in part by a second predetermined rotation rate of the first sensor.

Disclosed is a composite comprising from about 50 wt. % to about 97 wt. % of a thermoplastic resin, wherein the thermoplastic resin comprises a polyester; and from about 3 wt. % to about 15 wt. % of a carbon-based filler, wherein the carbon-based filler has a primary surface area of from about 500 to about 1000 m.sup.2/g, wherein the composite exhibits a dielectric constant ε′ of between 5 and 30 and a dissipation loss ε″ of between 0.5 and 45, measured at frequencies between about 10 and about 120 GHz. A molded sample of the composite exhibits a percent reflected power measured in transmission mode of at least 15% when observed according to a Free Space method at frequencies from about 75 GHz to 110 GHz.

Radar standing wave dampening systems and components are described. In particular, systems and components including an absorber composite including at least one of ceramic filler, magnetic filler, or conductive filler materials are described. Such components can reduce the intensity of standing waves and may also be combined in systems with one or more gradient permittivity tapes or films.

An optical face protection apparatus is provided having a support body, at least one lens and an elongate heating element. The support body is configured to be supported on a user. The at least one lens is carried by the support body and is configured to hold the at least one lens over an eye facial region of a user. The elongate heating element has an elongate tube and a heat source provided in the tube, carried by the body and configured to traverse an expansive surface area of the at least one lens.

A lamp device has a base body to be installed to a vehicle; a lamp unit; a translucent cover that is installed to the base body, covering the front surface of the base body so as to accommodate the lamp unit therein, thereby defining a lamp body space, and has a recess in the front surface at a side position in a horizontal direction of the lamp unit; and a radar unit that has a radar sensor and a radar housing accommodating the radar sensor therein, and is inserted in the recess.

Radar sensor, having an antenna assembly and a monolithic microwave integrated circuit that is arranged on a circuit board of the radar sensor and comprises at least one antenna connection that is to be connected to the antenna assembly, in particular is implemented in a ball grid, provides radar signals to be emitted, which can be generated by the microwave circuit, or accepts received radar signals from the antenna assembly, the connection of the antenna connection to the antenna assembly being formed at least in part by a waveguide, wherein, for connecting the at least one antenna connection to the waveguide designed as a wave duct, the circuit board comprises, at the position of the antenna connection, a through-opening leading to the side of the circuit board opposite the microwave circuit, through which the antenna connection is connected to a radiation element projecting into the waveguide arranged on the opposite side of the circuit board at the position of the antenna connection.

A radar apparatus mounting assembly in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure can protect a radar apparatus from an impact applied to a vehicle and prevent a corresponding detection area from being changed by allowing a bracket installed in the vehicle in combination with the radar apparatus to be provided with an elastic structure.

Provided is a molded article (1) of a vehicle (S) designed to be placed in a path of millimeter wave transmitted from a radar device (7) that can minimize the attenuation of the millimeter wave. The molded product has a thickness as measured in a direction of the path of the millimeter wave transmitted from the radar device which is an integer multiple of a half wavelength of the millimeter wave in the molded article.

A vehicular lamp fitting and the like capable of preventing (or suppressing) vibrations of a radar unit (and as a result, capable of preventing the detection area of the radar unit from being significantly changed) are provided. A vehicular lamp fitting includes: a lamp housing; an outer lens attached to the lamp housing, the outer lens including a recessed part and forming a first space between the outer lens and the lamp housing; a lamp unit disposed in the first space; a radar cover disposed while covering the recessed part, and forming a second space between the radar cover and the recessed part; a bracket disposed in the second space; a radar unit detachably fixed to the bracket; and a first fixing part fixing one end of the bracket to the outer lens; and a second fixing part fixing the other end of the bracket to the lamp housing.

A vehicular lamp fitting and the like in which a radar unit can be replaced without replacing the whole vehicular lamp fitting are provided. A vehicular lamp fitting includes a lamp housing, an outer lens attached to the lamp housing and forming a lamp chamber between the outer lens and the lamp housing, a lamp unit disposed in the lamp chamber, a bracket, and a radar unit detachably fixed to the bracket.
