Paolo Valcarenghi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9601288
    Abstract: Apparatus for floor cleaning, having a cavity that opens on the dashboard, a plurality of mechanically similar interchangeable keys, and suitable to be inserted completely into and operate with said cavity, two or more Hall-effect sensors arranged outside said cavity, at least one first key containing at least one magnet, and at least one second key including at least one respective second magnet, which are in functional correspondence with respective predefined sensors. Said magnets do not interfere with sensors to which they are not geometrically connected, and for this purpose they are aligned on a same straight line, and the insertion of said keys causes a movement of said magnets toward the respective sensors with a motion orthogonal to said straight line.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8490737
    Abstract: A vehicle which includes an accelerometer to detect its lateral acceleration while in operation, a motor, and an input device activated by the operator of the vehicle and suitable to actuate in a controllable mode the mechanical power delivered by the motor so as to adjust the speed of the vehicle. Further, there is a processor including algorithms to compare the lateral acceleration signal detected by the accelerometer with a preset value corresponding to a preset lateral acceleration.
