  • Patent number: 12371124
    Abstract: The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

  • Publication number: 20250100519
    Abstract: A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

  • Publication number: 20240309450
    Abstract: Methods are provided for conducting an assay for a set of targets. The methods include (a) performing a methylation sensitive transformation process on a sample comprising a set of target nucleic acid sequences; (b) performing a hybridization and ligation reaction with an encoded detection probe from a set of encoded detection probes unique for each of the targets, the probes comprising a nucleotide sequence code from a set of nucleotide sequence codes to generate an amplifiable probe, wherein the probes unique for unmethylated targets are not amplifiable; and (c) performing an amplification and detection process on the sample, wherein the methylated targets are detected by decoding the amplified codes associated with the methylated targets.
