Utility
Nested serial network configuration for array of serially connected light heads
14 Sep 20
An array (166, 184, 194, 230, 256) of multiple light heads (170, 186, 194, 236) for a vehicle (100) has a primary Controller Area Network (CAN) serial data bus (108, 224) to carry first serial communications among spaced-apart CAN nodes (112, 118, 130, 136, 140, 154, 220, 260, 288) communicatively coupled thereto.

Utility
Low-dropout current regulator for light head
27 Jan 20
In connection with a ground transportation vehicle light head (86) powered by a battery-based voltage source (20) supplying positive (76) and reference (i.e., ground) (78) voltages that define a voltage difference (22) applied across a number of multiple series-connected high-power light-emitting diodes (HP LEDs) (12) and current regulator circuitry (80) electrically connected to them, ultra-low dropout circuit techniques are disclosed for increasing a portion of the voltage difference available from the battery-based voltage source to forward bias and thereby maximize the number of the multiple series-connected HP LEDs emitting light by maintaining a low voltage drop (82) across the current regulator circuitry.

Utility
System for and method of installing an exterior-mounted light bar underneath a factory-installed rear spoiler on a vehicle liftgate
14 Oct 19
Disclosed are techniques for installing an exterior-mounted light bar accessory underneath a factory-installed rear spoiler on a liftgate of a vehicle while leaving intact the rear spoiler and a liftgate spoiler sealing system fitted and mounting components used during factory installation of the rear spoiler by attachment to the liftgate, the liftgate having a top side margin and the vehicle having a roof with a rear end, the rear spoiler mounted at the top side margin of the liftgate and at the rear end of the roof, and the liftgate having an outer surface with first and second curved distal ends.
