Patent number: 10576359Abstract: A personal transportation vehicle comprises a carrier, a control device, and a first and second pair of wheels. The first pair of wheels are fixed in a direction and the second pair of wheels are mounted on swivels below the carrier. The first and the second pair of wheels are arranged aligned and parallel to each other below the carrier. A first controller drives the first wheel and a second controller drives the second wheel of the first pair of wheels. The control device transmits signals to the first controller and the second controller to control the first driving device and the second driving device. The second pair of wheels are swiveled and driven by a difference between the rotational speeds of the first wheel and the second wheel of the first pair of wheels to determine a movement direction of the transportation vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Moboster Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kevin Chiu

Patent number: 9852227Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method for control for persistent search results and iterative searching where a query from a user is received via a web browser and a web search for the query is performed with a processor. Search results of the web search are displayed in a toolbar of the web browser, wherein at least one of the search results in the toolbar includes a refinement option. The refinement option can include a show me more like this refinement option and/or a show me less like this refinement option. A selected refinement option is received from the user with a user interface; and, refined search results are displayed in the toolbar based on the selected refinement option.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jason M. Blackwell, Kevin Chiu, Claude J. Elie, Kimberly Knight, Beverly M. Lovelace, John E. MacDonald, IV, Matthew Starr, Marc Wisniewski

Publication number: 20080217922Abstract: The present invention includes a process to generate electricity for vehicles by means of harnessing the wind power created with the motion of the vehicle. The motion of the air is transferred to the bottom of the vehicle by an exterior aperture with slanted sides directing the air to a tube. The tube leads the moving air straight to the back of a car right before where the energy sources; batteries and/or fuel tank are located. There is once again another opening for the moving air to shoot out from and spin a mounted turbine blade from the side with a generator which feeds energy to the batteries.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Inventor: Kevin Chiu

Publication number: 20060254023Abstract: The present invention provides a laterally movable lifting arm and follower which may be mounted adjacent a mold. The lifting arm is movable from a cap engaging position wherein it initially moves the cap away from the mold into the path of the follower. The cap is initially moved across the lid by lateral movement of the lifting arm. The follower is subsequently passed across the cap to lockingly engage the closure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2006Publication date: November 16, 2006Applicant: StackTeck Systems LimitedInventor: Kevin Chiu
