Abstract: Exemplary systems and methods associated with generating a customized touch screen configuration for a user of a wheelchair based on the user's disease state. The systems and methods determine the user's ability using various assessments. Generating a customized touch screen configuration includes modifying various touch screen feature settings in accordance with the user's capabilities. These settings include various techniques to better recognize touch screen input gestures from users with disabilities.

Abstract: An electromechanical steering system for attachment to a manually operated wheelchair, the electromechanical steering system including: an input device arranged to develop an input signal, a motor and a wheel steering system driven by the motor and arranged to communicate with a wheel of the manually operated wheelchair to adjust a steering direction of the wheel based on the input signal.
Abstract: An electric vehicle and display device for an electric vehicle having a plurality of display elements (including 10a, 10d and 10j). In one embodiment display elements (10a, 10d) are actuated in proportion to the ratio of actual vehicle speed to the maximum allowable speed for a given mode of operation. In another embodiment a display element (10j) is driven to indicate the maximum allowable speed for a selected mode of 10d operation. In another embodiment the estimated speed of the electric vehicle is based upon user input only.
