Patent number: 9744950Abstract: Performance electric parking brake controllers determine braking control signals for a performance electric parking brake system based on a position of a parking brake lever. A parking brake lever has a first rate of resistance associated with movement in a first direction away from a neutral position and a second rate of resistance associated with movement in a second direction away from the neutral position opposite the first direction. The first and second rates of resistance are different. A controller is configured to electromechanically actuate rear brake calipers of the vehicle in response to a first set of operating conditions of the vehicle, to hydraulically actuate front brake calipers and the rear brake calipers of the vehicle in response to a second set of operating conditions of the vehicle, and to hydraulically actuate only the rear brake calipers in response to a third set of operating conditions of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIESInventors: Brian Marvin Lemmer, Curtis Hargitt, Greg David Folta, Chad Michael Korte, Scott Mlynarczyk, Alexander Ferencz, Kevin Sallee, Jason St. John

Patent number: 8802953Abstract: A music based video game in which a game player's singing performance is digitally sampled while the player performs a free-form vocal over a prerecorded musical composition. Aspects of the game player's free-form vocal performance are compared with predetermined criteria. For example, the vocal performance may be compared with tempo and key information to generate performance evaluation data. The performance evaluation data may be used to present performance feedback to the game player while the game player is singing.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Activision Publishing, Inc.Inventors: Brian Bright, Brian Marvin, Mark Wojtowicz
