Abstract: An electronic pedal apparatus may be operated by a driver with a small force. When the driver operates a pedal pad, the pedal pad is operated with a fine displacement, but a change in a pedal force is increased through compression of a return spring using a rotation lever and a spring guide, so that the driver is capable of easily recognizing an operation situation of a pedal. Furthermore, safety during operation of the pedal may be more enhanced by using a dual sensing structure in which first and second permanent magnets and first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs) are used.

Abstract: Modules provide the ability of a cleat that couples a shoe to a bicycle pedal to be decoupled via natural lifting motion of the foot upon the occurrence of a specific circumstance such as a tilt of the bicycle indicative of an imminent crash. This allows the rider to use their foot that is no longer coupled to the pedal to potentially eliminate or lessen the crash and/or dismount the bicycle without needing to first perform a cleat release maneuver such as rotating the rear of the foot outward. Shoes may be configured with the module to allow the cleat to decouple from the shoe via the natural lifting motion of the foot in the specific circumstance. Pedals may be configured with the module to allow the cleat to decouple from the pedal via the natural lifting motion of the foot in the specific circumstance.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for converting gravitational energy to kinetic energy. More specifically, in order to obtain the energy of gravity using centrifugal forces from the space on a rotating platform 2, rails are installed on it along which weighted shuttles can move. When the platform rotates, centrifugal forces act on the rotating weighted shuttles. Under the centrifugal forces, the weighted translate radially, which perform work when moving. To use the work performed by the rotating weighted shuttles the shaft is coupled to a commutator.
