Title: Vehicle rearview mirror with a light
Inventor: WALDMANN BERND
IPC: B60Q1/26
Filed: 2006-03-14
Abstract: An outside rear-view mirror has a mirror head 1 and a housing 4 comprising a recess 5 for a repeat flashlight provided with a light screen 3 and an optical cable 9-11 into which light may be coupled by at least one lighting means. In order to configure the outside rear-view mirror in such a way that an optimal lighting function is achieved with a constructionally simple, cost-effective configuration, the optical cable extends on the outside of the light screen and protrudes into the housing through the light screen, so the light coupling point is located inside the housing. The corresponding lighting means may therefore not be seen from the outside. The outside rear-view mirror is particularly suitable for motor vehicles. The optical cable allows the statutory requirements with respect to light values when indicating to be met and a uniform illumination to be achieved.

Title: RTP/SIP authentication in client server systems
Inventor: MASUHIRO MAO
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2007-07-27
Abstract: Authentication without certificates or authenticating servers is provided by a call controller 16 in a server 1 which instructs a management unit 18 to determine an encryption capability (eg. "absent" or "present" in fig. 4), under a Peer to Peer (P2P) Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), for two or more clients (3-1 to 3-3) on a Local Area Network (LAN, 100) who have already been authenticated via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Basing encryption on such rules and information, as shown in table 20 (fig. 4), allows encryption keys to be generated without requiring a new authentication for each call, which is important in real time call protocols such as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The encryption information can be securely set via maintenance consoles (2, 4 in fig. 6), or may be updated according to a timer (21, fig. 20).

Title: Vehicle security device
Inventor: GREEN ROBIN JEREMY
IPC: B60R25/33
Filed: 2008-04-21
Abstract: The present application concerns a vehicle security device with particular use of a vehicle identity (VID) card 1 to eliminate theft. In one aspect, the invention is a vehicle key 8 suppressor for inhibiting communication between an electronic start key 8 (including, for example a conventional coded ignition key 8 as well as an advanced key system, a remote keyless system, and a fingerprint and/or eye recognition system) and an engine control unit (ECU) 7 in a vehicle. When activated by an activating signal from the VID card 1, the suppressor sends an inhibitory signal 5 which inhibits communication 6 between the start key 8 and the ECU 7, thereby preventing the vehicle engine from being started or restarted. The system may be provided with a tracking unit (10, figure 2) for remote tracking from a tracking station (13, figure 2). Alternatively, the System may require the VID card 1 to be within a specific radius 9 of the vehicle in order for the key 8 and the ECU 7 to communicate and the engine to start.
