Patent number: 12008840Abstract: A method of vehicle movement control includes setting up a weigh station geofence corresponding to a geographic location of a vehicle weigh station and setting up an additional geofence corresponding to the vehicle weigh station. At a central processing system, a first message is received from a mobile wireless device that is being carried in a vehicle. The first message indicates that the vehicle has entered the weigh station geofence, and includes vehicle related information, vehicle location information, and a bypass request. The method further includes determining by the central processing system whether the vehicle is permitted to bypass the vehicle weigh station, and sending to the mobile wireless device a bypass message from the central processing system indicating whether the vehicle is permitted to bypass the vehicle weigh station.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Drivewyze Ltd.Inventors: Brian Heath, Tse Young Ko, Brian Mofford

Publication number: 20240039364Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a covering, such as a casing, for a component of an electrical drive system. Components of this kind are, for example, the electric motor or the inverter of an electric motor. Both the inverter and the electric motor itself generate noise at high frequencies, for instance between 6 kHz and 12 kHz, due to the switch elements used in them. These noises should not escape to the exterior because they are disruptive in terms of both frequency and volume. The present disclosure shows a cover for absorbing these noises, that is cost-effective and can be arranged close to the electric motor and its components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Franz SCHWEIGGART, Brian HEATH, Luca BUMB, Lukas HAHN, Andreas MAIER, Claudio PEDICILLO, Andreas KAST

Patent number: 11755869Abstract: A transponder with a disrupting signal source to shut down the transponder. The transponder may use an RFID chip. The disrupting signal source can be an electrical signal source electrically coupled to the RFID chip, for example capacitively coupled. The disruptive signal source can also be a radiation source, for example an infrared source. The disrupting signal source can be connected to a receiver to allow the transponder to be shut down remotely. Multiple transponders as described can be combined to form a multi-transponder device in which transponders can be shut down selectively.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Drivewyze Ltd.Inventors: Bruce Roesner, Brian Heath

Patent number: 11691633Abstract: A database of high risk locations is formed and high risk causal factors for the high risk locations determined. Driver behavior is monitored at the sites in the database using data collection devices such as electronic logging devices or mobile phones to see if the drivers exhibit the same specific behaviors that are considered contributing factors to specific accident types at risk of occurrence at those sites. Warnings are provided to drivers approaching the specific sites to prompt behavioral changes which may further be monitored by the data collection devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Intelligent Imaging Systems, Inc.Inventors: Brian Heath, Wayne Allan Malkin

Patent number: 11540576Abstract: A head and neck restraining system includes a helmet, a neck brace structure, and a tether system. The neck brace structure includes a neck extension that is attached to shoulder extensions. The tether system includes at least one ring structure that is configured to attach to the helmet and a single tether material that slides through the at least one ring. The single tether material is guided along the neck extension and attached to the shoulder extensions. The at least one ring structure is positioned between the neck and shoulder extensions along the single tether material and splits the load on the helmet to the neck extension and the shoulder extension along to the single tether material created by exerted forces.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: NecksGen Inc.Inventor: Kevin Brian Heath

Patent number: 11013285Abstract: A head and neck restraining system includes a helmet, a neck brace structure, and a tether system. The neck brace structure includes a neck extension that is attached to shoulder extensions. The tether system includes a single tether with double thickness terminal ends. The double thickness terminal ends have a plurality of pass-through openings that are adapted to receive a removable securing pin that threadably secures the tether to the neck brace. The tether also secures the helmet to the neck brace and limits its range of motion during an accident. The tether is removable secured to the neck brace on one side then extends from the neck brace to the helmet, then continues from the helmet to the back of the neck brace, then continues further from the back of the neck brace to the opposite side of the helmet, and then is removable secured to the other side of the neck brace. The tether may be slidably or fixedly attached to the helmet and neck brace.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: NecksGen Inc.Inventor: Kevin Brian Heath
