  • Publication number: 20240176343
    Abstract: A system and method includes a wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver integrated into one of a powertrain electrical system, ECU, MCU, and vehicle speed output sensors of the high-performance vehicle, a speed command control device integrated into the wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver to automatically turn ON at a predetermined vehicle speed, and a transmitter and/or transmitter-transceiver operable by law enforcement to transmit RF messaging packets to the wireless receiver and/or receiver-transceiver when the speed command control device is activated by the transmitter and/or transmitter-transceiver to reduce the speed of the high-performance vehicle. The method may implement Vehicle Speed Ship Mode (VSSM) with the same, similar, or different RF receiver and/or receiver-transceiver by turning ON the speed bit indefinitely by use of custom factory software, RF signal, and/or factory tool.

  • Publication number: 20220202067
    Abstract: A cigarette rolling machine formed of a frame pivotably supporting a drum for rotation about a drum axis. The drum circumference forms hopper channel and a spaced apart removal channel parallel to the axis. A forming roller is pivotably mounted adjacent to and spaced from the surface of the drum. An idler roller is also pivotably supported on the frame for rotation parallel to the drum axis. An elongate belt forms a loop extending about the forming and idler roller. The belt has two ends attached to spaced apart sides of the removal channel. A tensioner roller is pivotably supported for rotation parallel to the drum axis. A belt tension adjuster cooperates with the tensioner roller and the frame to releasably affix the axis of the tensioner roller at a plurality of positions relative to the belt in order to vary the diameter of a cigarette to be formed.
