We propose a train headlamp system using dual half-circular parabolic aluminized reflectors. Each half-circular reflector contains five high-efficiency and small-package light-emitting diode (LED) chips, and the halves are 180° rotationally symmetric. For traffic safety, the headlamp satisfies the Code of Federal Regulations. To predict the pattern of illumination, an analytical derivation is developed for the optical path of a ray that is perpendicular to and emitted from the center of an LED chip. This ray represents the main ray emitted from the LED chip and is located at the maximum illuminance of the spot projected by the LED source onto a screen. We then analyze the design systematically to determine the locations of the LED chips in the reflector that minimize electricity consumption while satisfying reliability constraints associated with traffic safety. Compared to a typical train headlamp system with an incandescent or halogen lamp needing several hundred watts, the proposed system only uses 20.18 W to achieve the luminous intensity requirements.

Article Synopsis
- The paper examines advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs) focusing on their impact on safety, driving comfort, and the level of trust drivers have in them.
- It describes various sensory detectors used in ADASs and highlights popular systems like adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection, alongside evaluating their effectiveness through driver surveys.
- Findings indicate drivers generally trust and appreciate ADASs for improving safety and comfort but emphasize the need for further advancements to enhance precision, reduce false alarms, and improve the user interface.
Liquid Silicone Rubber Headlamp Lens Injection Molding Process Optimization Based on Tie Bar Elongation and NSGA III.

This study aimed to improve the injection molding quality of LSR material lenses by optimizing the process parameters. To achieve this goal, we employed the population-based optimization algorithm NSGA-III, which can simultaneously optimize multiple objective functions and identify an equilibrium point among them, thereby reducing the time required to find the optimal process parameters. We utilized analysis software to simulate the injection molding process of LSR material lenses, with a specific focus on examining the relationship between tie bar elongation and the optimized process parameters.

Background: The classical forehead reflector as traditionally used by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physicians for the ENT examination is now iconic for doctors in general. It is unknown which instruments are currently used in Germany to clinically examine ENT patients. Therefore, this study aims to present results of a survey about commonly used instruments.
