  • Patent number: 8246518
    Abstract: The invention is a transmission shifting system for a vehicle, the vehicle having a transmission having a push-pull and rotating member for operating the transmission movable in an H pattern. In detail, the invention includes a first reversible electric motor coupled to the member for moving the member backwards and forwards. A second reversible electric motor is coupled to the member for rotating the member clockwise and counter-clockwise. The second motor coupled to the member by means of a biasing assembly such that a biasing force can be applied to the member when the second motor rotates without the member rotating. A transmission shifter control system is provided for sequencing the operation of the first and second motors so to move the member in the H pattern upon receipt of an actuation signal.

  • Patent number: 7616107
    Abstract: The invention is a combination horn button and gear position indicator system for an automobile, the automobile having wire having a first end terminating at the steering wheel and a second end terminating at least partially down the steering column. In detail, the invention includes a housing movably mounted to the steering wheel, said housing movable from a first position to a second position, with a spring biasing the housing to the first position. horn actuation switch mounted in the housing, which is actuated to a closed position when the housing is moved from the first position to the second position. A gear position indicator is mounted on the housing. Processor circuits for sending the horn actuation switch signal to the horn relay and sending a gear position signal from the transmission to the gear position indicator via the one wire.
