  • Publication number: 20160046233
    Abstract: A receptacle for a vehicle interior is configured to provide light from a light source. The receptacle includes a base, a wall extending from the base to form an opening and providing an outlet into the opening, a guide for transmitting light along the base, and a guide for transmitting light along the wall. When light is provided beneath the base by the light source, light is transmitted through the guide along the base and into the guide along the wall.

  • Publication number: 20120205997
    Abstract: MAW-DirectDrives Vertical Models are direct drive propulsion and electrical generating units for transportation vehicles utilizing wheels for motion, which connect onto the inside of wheels actuating rotation and braking electromagnetically while simultaneously utilizing the rotation to generate electricity to feed back into the supply for reducing the vehicle's requirement for operation. Two pancake style direct drive permanent magnets stators are mounted on sturdy metal mounting backs functioning as the unit's stationary outside faces and outer portion of the unit's wheel hub. The vehicle is supported from their rear face. The stators face one another with a two-sided permanent magnets drive-rotor disc between them accomplishing two functions simultaneously. The drive-rotor is connected to the Integrated Drive-plate Assembly's spindle perpendicular. The spindle with its threaded end traverses through each wheel hubs' bearings and unites the unit together with a lock nut.

  • Publication number: 20120161498
    Abstract: MAW-DirectDrives are a mechanical direct drive mounting apparatus incorporating paired prefabricated frameless direct drive permanent magnets brushless motor stators as actuators. The stators mount on enhanced cooling stator mounting backs connected to a stationary sub-assembly mounting-plate that support vehicle suspensions on its rear. A drive-plate and spindle sub-assembly connected inside vehicle wheels fastens the two sub-assemblies and holds a cylindrical two-sided permanent magnets drive-rotor concentrically disposed between the stators and proximate to the stators' core peripheral surfaces to interact and actuate rotation about the stationary sub-assembly's cylindrical wheel-hub.
