Patent number: 11001209Abstract: An autonomous flip-up license plate mount for motorcycles that improves the aesthetics of a motorcycle while ensuring a license plate is properly displayed during use of the motorcycle. The mount includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, an automatic pivoting mechanism, and a hinge mechanism. A first end of the first mounting plate is connected along the hinge mechanism. Additionally, the hinge mechanism is connected along a rear surface of the second mounting plate, allowing for relative rotation about a main axis of the hinge mechanism. The automatic pivoting mechanism is a motorized system used to rotate the second mounting plate about the hinge mechanism. Accordingly, the automatic pivoting mechanism is operatively coupled between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. Thus, activation of the automatic pivoting mechanism positions the mount into either a functional configuration or a collapsed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventor: Alejandro Diaz, Jr.

Patent number: 10817807Abstract: In responsive to receiving a user interaction with a map graphical user interface (GUI) of a client device, the system identifies an origin, and determines a map zoom level and map position based on the interaction. The system identifies and ranks candidate destinations for the origin. The system automatically selects destinations from the ranked candidates for inclusion in the map based on the zoom level and the position. Each selected destination for which a destination location indicator would be obscured in the map by an indicator of a higher ranked destination is automatically determined by the system. The system then deselects each destination for which a location indicator has been determined to be obscured by an indicator of a higher ranked destination, forming a revised set of destinations. The system transmits instructions to display a location indicator for each destination in the revised set to the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Rani S. Manoharan, Marcin Z. Brodziak, Jiri Semecky, Alejandro Diaz, Marty R. Gardner, Stefan H. Pharies, Emmet J. Connolly, Konrad Gianno

Patent number: 9994233Abstract: A touch vehicle control system having a gesture interface device with one or more touchless sensors that detect a position of a driver's appendage within a range of movement detected by the sensors. The touchless sensors send a signal to the controller that is indicative of the position of the driver's appendage within the range of movement which is then interpreted to be a vehicle command signal for a vehicle's mechanical system. Command signals include, but are not limited to acceleration, braking, parking brake, turn signals, etc.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ruben Alejandro Diaz-Jimenez, Armando Aharon Campos-Gomez, Alejandra Enriquez-Perez, Kevin Adonai Madrid-Lopez
