  • Patent number: 12122401
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for a self programmable microcontroller for a vehicle. The self programmable microcontroller comprises an expansion data bus. A switch module is electrically coupled to the expansion data bus. A second input device is electrically coupled to the switch module. An expansion module is electrically coupled between the original equipment manufacturer control module and the expansion data bus. A source code stored in the switch module for operating the switch module and the expansion module based on an electrical signal from the second input device. A calibration source code stored in the expansion module for calibrating the expansion module relative to the original equipment manufacturer control module. The switch module receives an electrical signal from the second input device and communicates through the expansion module and through the original equipment manufacturer control module for activating the original equipment manufacturer output device.

  • Patent number: 10175713
    Abstract: An accelerating and braking device is disclosed for a vehicle. The accelerating and braking device includes a support tube pivotably coupled adjacent to the steering column. A brake tube links the control tube with the brake pedal for activating and deactivating the brake pedal. A position sensor is coupled to the control tube. A control engaging the position sensor for producing a variable signal output from the position sensor during rotation of the control. The position sensor electrically coupled to the electronic control module. A first rotational displacement of the position sensor causing an increase in velocity of the vehicle. A second rotational displacement of the position sensor causing a decrease in velocity of the vehicle. A first spring and a second spring engaging the control for causing the second rotational displacement and the decrease in velocity of the vehicle.
