Abstract: A method of indicating vehicle deceleration rates is used to help drivers discern how fast a vehicle is decelerating. The method of the present invention is performed by a system that includes a vehicle with a braking system. The braking system includes a pedal sensor and a braking control unit. The pedal sensor is used to measure the force applied to the brake pedal of the vehicle, while the braking control unit is used to categorize the measurements taken by the pedal sensor. The system also includes an indicator light system for the vehicle system. A plurality of braking tiers is managed by the braking control unit and is used to activate the indicator light system to varying extents. The braking control unit compares the brake application force with each of the braking tiers to determine how the indicator light system is activated.

Abstract: A protective baseball sliding glove is a device for protecting the user's hand when the user is sliding into a base. The user is able to position his or her hand within a hand-enclosing rigid housing that is then placed into a glove that covers the hand-enclosing rigid housing and a portion of the user's forearm. The user is able to grasp a cross-brace within the hand-enclosing rigid housing, anchoring the user's hand within the hand-enclosing rigid housing. The position of the cross-brace may be adjusted via a plurality of adjustment holes on the hand-enclosing rigid housing that allows the user to move the cross-brace to his or her comfort. A securing stabilizer strap may be utilized to secure the glove as well as provide structural support and rigidity to the user's wrist.
