A contactless sensor mounting system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a contactless sensor that is mounted in an interior component of the vehicle and having a first surface and a second surface opposing each other. A bracket is disposed around the contactless sensor and is fixed to the interior component. A first buffer member is interposed between the first surface of the contactless sensor and the interior component. A second buffer member is mounted on the second surface of the contactless sensor. Additionally, a leaf spring presses the second buffer member and the contactless sensor toward the interior component.

The present invention discloses an intelligent detection and recognition system and method for a coal-rock interface of a mine. The intelligent detection and recognition system mainly includes an intelligent lifting support fastened to the top of a shearer, a non-contact radar antenna disposed at the top of the intelligent lifting support, and an operating terminal with which the radar antenna wirelessly conducts information transmission. In an operating state, a radiation direction of the radar antenna is perpendicular to the surface of a to-be-detected coal seam, and the operating terminal is configured to acquire radar data of the to-be-detected coal seam collected by the radar antenna, and draw and display a coal-rock horizon occurrence curve according to the radar data. The present invention can not only improve the detection accuracy, but also adapt to a working environment that suddenly changes on a fully mechanized mining face.

A bracket for a vehicle mount device includes an attachment member for a vehicle side, and a holding portion for the vehicle mount device. The holding portion includes a receiving portion for receiving at least a part of the vehicle mount device by a sliding operation of the vehicle mount device, and a guide portion for a projecting portion of the vehicle mount device along a sliding direction of the sliding operation. The receiving portion includes a position setting wall for the side of the vehicle mount device, and a holding piece for one side of the vehicle mount device. The guide portion includes an elastic piece, which is elastically deformed by contacting the projecting portion during a sliding movement and returns to an original posture at an end of the sliding movement to engage the projection.

The invention relates to a device for a motor vehicle having a protective element which can be pivoted from a closed position into an open position, with an environment detection unit which can be moved into an active position for image detection by an extension movement and into a resting position by a retraction movement, in which the environment detection unit is arranged to be externally inaccessible behind the protective element located in the closed position, and having a drive unit acting on the environment detection unit for moving the environment detection unit, the environment detection unit having an end face facing the protective element and two has adjoining side surfaces and wherein a pressing element for pressing on the protective element during the extension of the environment detection unit and a separate closing element for closing the protective element during retraction of the environment detection unit are formed on at least one of the side surfaces.

Provided herein is a system and method for regulating a sensor enclosure of a vehicle. The system comprises an enclosure comprising a vent at a base of the enclosure, one or more sensors configured to determine a parameter of the vehicle or the enclosure, a fan configured to regulate an internal temperature of the enclosure, and a controller configured to regulate a rotation speed of the fan based on the parameter of the vehicle or the enclosure. The regulating system further comprises a deflector connected to the enclosure and configured to direct an airflow into the vent based on the parameter.

The radio-wave transparent cover includes a plastic transparent layer, a decorative layer provided on the rear-side surface of the transparent layer, and a plastic base layer provided on the rear-side surface of the decorative layer. The transparent layer has a peripheral part having a protrusion extending rearward. The protrusion defines a peripheral edge of the transparent layer. The protrusion has an inner circumferential surface forming a part of an engaging end projecting rearward from the protrusion. The decorative layer is provided in a region of the rear-side surface of the transparent layer adjoining the inner circumferential surface of the engaging end.

A radar sensor is provided, including sensor circuitry, electronic evaluation circuitry, communication circuitry, power supply circuitry, and a housing, the sensor circuitry being configured to emit and/or to receive a radar signal through the housing, the housing being configured such that the radar signal can be transmitted through the housing, the electronic evaluation circuitry being configured to detect an object based on the radar signal and/or to determine a distance between the radar sensor and the object, the electronic evaluation circuitry being further configured to determine at least one parameter representative of the detected object and/or of the determined distance, the communication circuitry being configured to wirelessly communicate the at least one parameter through the housing to a receiver, and the housing completely enclosing the sensor circuitry, the electronic evaluation circuitry, the power supply circuitry, and the communication circuitry.

A vehicular system includes a body panel having an aperture and a radar unit at least partially aligned with the aperture. The radar unit includes a housing encapsulating a printed circuit board operable to generate radar waves. The housing includes a first wall through which the radar waves are directed. The first wall of the housing is visible within the aperture and the body panel does not extend across the first wall.

A polyhedral sensor target includes multiple surfaces. A housing, such as a vehicle, may include a camera and a distance measurement sensor, such as a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The housing may move between different positions during calibration, for instance by being rotated atop a turntable. The camera and distance measurement sensor may both capture data during calibration, from which visual and distance measurement representations of the polyhedral sensor target are identified. The camera and distance measurement sensor are calibrated based on their respective representations, for example by mapping vertices within the representations to the same location.

A radar system detects an object using radar waves and includes an antenna surface and a cover part. The antenna surface is provided with at least one array antenna arranged on a collinear arrangement straight line. The cover part covers the front of an antenna of the array antenna, where the front of the antenna is the side away from which radar waves are radiated with respect to the antenna surface as a boundary. The at least one array antenna is provided with at least one unit antenna where a plurality of antenna elements that radiate radar waves of the same phase are arranged in the same direction as the arrangement straight line. The unit antenna is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement straight line along the antenna surface. The cover part is configured such that the incidence angle of the radar waves is equal to or less than a Brewster angle.
