Abstract: An alert system and apparatus for an emergency alert system is provided to disseminate emergency information to the public utilizing a universal paging system through a personal alert device such as a cellular telephone, pager, PDA or E-FOB. The alert system utilizes an emergency alert system signal from the NOAA alert system to broadcast the alert message to cellular devices in a specified alert area. The broadcast message provides information related to the alert level. The E-FOB may be a passive device which is activated by a NOAA alert signal and then listens for a cellular message. If the E-FOB is within the alert area, the E-FOB provides information to the user. If the E-FOB is not within the alert area, the E-FOB returns to a passive state.

Abstract: A motorcycle having two drive chains. The gearbox output includes a left front sprocket and a right front sprocket. The rear wheel includes a left rear sprocket and a right rear sprocket. Left and right chains connect the respective front and rear sprockets. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel symmetrically. The swingarm is not subjected to asymmetric force that would twist it or pull it to one side, and can be made lighter. Swingarm flex can be better specified, making the swingarm a more useful suspension component, especially aiding the rear wheel while bent over in hard cornering over an irregular road surface.
