Abstract: A vehicular warning system is disclosed that transmits information concerning a moving vehicle's rate of deceleration and magnetic orientation to surrounding vehicles carrying the warning system. Auditory and/or visual alerts are generated within surrounding vehicles carrying the inventive warning system to warn the driver therein of the rapidly decelerating vehicle ahead.

Abstract: Novel golf balls, golf ball cups, and golf ball reading devices are described. Embodiments of each include microprocessors, power sources, receive and transmit devices, and related circuitry for recording and transmitting information about the golf ball in play to the golf ball cup or reading device.

Auditory and/or visual alerts are generated within surrounding vehicles carrying the inventive warning system to warn the driver therein of the rapidly decelerating vehicle ahead.

Abstract: A severe braking warning system for a vehicle is described wherein the system is designed to measure a vehicle's rate of motion and, upon deceleration of the vehicle, affect the vehicle's brake light circuit by switching it on and off at a pulse rate proportional to the severity of deceleration. The system comprises an accelerometer, a microprocessor (either an integrated unit or the vehicle's existing unit), transistor, and a switch in communication with the vehicle's existing brake light circuit. The inventive brake light warning system provides a supplemental indication to other vehicles traveling behind of the rate of braking, thereby reducing the possibility of rear-end collisions.
