Abstract
A heatable device for use with a vehicle-mounted image acquisition unit is disclosed. The heatable device includes a main body including a first end, a second end, an interior cavity, and a receiving portion. A transparent glass substrate fixed to the main body includes a transparent electrically-conductive coating on an inner surface thereof. At least one electrically-conductive unit contacts the transparent electrically-conductive coating on the inner surface of the transparent glass substrate, and may receive electric current selectively provided by a vehicle-mounted power supply and conduct the electric current to the transparent glass substrate, thereby selectively heating the transparent glass substrate. A sealing member may couple an opening in the receiving portion with at least a portion of a vehicle-mounted image acquisition unit such that the vehicle-mounted image acquisition unit has a field of view extending through the main body to an outside environment surrounding a vehicle.
