Publication number: 20240174320Abstract: The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: May 30, 2024Inventors: Dor Levi, Carlos Ellis Whitt, John Peter Walpole, Nicholaus Ian Lubinski, Steven James Martisauskas, Lucas Jon Van Houten, Gregoire Ludovic Vincent Vandenbussche

Patent number: 11964062Abstract: An antimicrobial device, such as a flashlight, lantern, or lamp, is discussed herein. The antimicrobial device produces light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum (i.e., 150-250 nm), including 200-230 nm. The antimicrobial device includes an electron source, an extractor, and a target material. The electron source provides the electrons of sufficient energy to cause a photon to be released, whether by a target or by the electron itself. The extractor extracts the electrons from the electron source. The target material is a component at which the electron is directed. The target material can release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range or cause the electron to release a photon having a desired wavelength or within a desired wavelength range.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: LuxHygenix Inc.Inventors: James Edward Jaskie, Michael Ray Johnson, Scott Vincent Johnson, John Jeffrey Martin
