  • Publication number: 20130295910
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for mitigating use of a mobile device feature of a mobile device during vehicle operation a vehicle operation. A determination component coupled with a vehicle can identify a vehicle operation condition, such as whether it is driving or not. A disablement indicator determination can create a first disablement indicator based on the vehicle operation condition. A mobile device communication component that is communicatively coupled with a proximate mobile device can transmit the first disablement indicator to the mobile device. When the mobile device receives the first disablement indicator, a disablement component that is operating on the mobile device can enable a user-interface cover, which mitigates the mobile device user from accessing an activator for a feature on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8414153
    Abstract: An LED lamp that allows for the replacement of incandescent bulbs used in various different lighting systems without the degradation of operating properties commonly associated with conventional LED replacement lamps. Regarding a conventional landscape lighting system, the system commonly comprises a transformer configured to supply power to a specific number of individual lamps having a specific bulb installed therein. The LED lamp may allow the user to selectively vary the number of individual lamps utilized in the landscape lighting system. Further, if the landscape lighting system is designed to utilize incandescent bulbs, the LED lamp may allow for the convenient and easy replacement of the incandescent bulbs to allow the user to achieve the maximum benefits associated with the use of LED lamps over conventional incandescent bulbs.

  • Publication number: 20130072174
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for disabling certain features of a vehicle driver's wireless device include a control module strategically mounted within a vehicle passenger compartment, i.e., beneath the steering wheel. The module includes a Bluetooth device that activates a wireless-transmission device upon the slightest movement of the vehicle. The driver's wireless phone is loaded with an application that disables the ability of the user to receive emails, SMS messages or other data upon receipt of a discrete wireless signal from the transmission device. Accordingly, when the ignition is activated and the vehicle moves, the text-transmission feature is disabled. A remote server may be utilized to monitor the wireless device and notify a parent or manager if the user attempts to disable the software application.

  • Patent number: 8280616
    Abstract: Disclosed is a remote starter system for remotely starting an engine of a vehicle. The remote starter system may comprise an integrated universal bypass module that allows the remote starter system to be utilized with vehicles equipped with a passive anti-theft system such as a transponder-based vehicle security system or a resistance-based vehicle security system. Alternatively, the remote starter system may comprise a kit comprising a remote starter system for remotely starting an engine of a vehicle and a universal bypass module that allows the remote starter system to be utilized with vehicles equipped with an anti-theft system such as a transponder-based vehicle security system or a resistance-based vehicle security system.
