  • Patent number: 10399541
    Abstract: Methods and systems detect motion of a motor vehicle and detect whether the driver, and/or other occupants, are wearing their safety belts. A third party can be notified, in real-time, that the vehicle is being driven without the safety belts engaged. The user can then deliver an audio message to the user, either pre-recorded or live, to remind the user to fasten their safety belts. The third party also has an option of delivering a consequence to the user as a result of the detection of the safety belt not being engaged. Such consequence can include automatically limiting access to certain applications of the driver's smart phone for a certain period of time. The system can include a seat belt application detector, a vehicle motion detector, and wireless communication means to send a signal of safety belt application to the third party.

  • Patent number: 4949047
    Abstract: A segmented radio-frequency quadrupole accelerator (10) having a top segment (12), a bottom segment (14), a first side segment (16) and a second side segment (18), each segment having an elongated vane portion (20) arranged in diametrically-opposed pairs along a common longitudinal axis. Mounting arms (30) are integrally formed in the outer walls (28) of the vane portion (20), each end of each mounting arm (30) having a mounting surface (32) formed of a projection (34) having a surface (36) and an end surface (38) oriented at substantially right angles to cooperate with a mounting portion on an adjacent minor segment having a surface (44) and an end surface (46) oriented at right angles. Seals (48) having a C-shaped, cross-sectional configuration are placed between the mounting surfaces to maintain electrical contact between the segments. Fasteners (54) are securely fastened through oversized holes (52) in the segments to adjustably fasten the segments together.
