  • Patent number: 9067147
    Abstract: A toy construct assembly system is designed for use with standardized toy construction building elements having standardized multiple male and female coupling elements. The system includes several small toy constructs, each having building elements and additional build parts that assemble to create the small toy construct in at least two distinct builds and then dissemble into its constituent parts. Each build of the small toy construct includes a small figure assembled from the building elements to which a plurality of the additional build parts are detachably coupled to create an assembled small toy construct. In addition, a combiner assembly set includes combiner assemblies that detachably couple with building elements of the small toy construct to create a large toy construct. The large toy construct is assembled from the plurality of small toy constructs and the combiner assembly set.

  • Patent number: 7699751
    Abstract: A method for inhibiting automatic actuation of an electric parking brake (EPB) system of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle has an ignition switch for receiving an ignition key so as to mobilize or immobilize the vehicle. The EPB system includes an EPB mechanism for applying an actuating force to a park brake of the vehicle, an EPB control module for automatically applying the force when at least the ignition key is detected as removed from the ignition switch and an EPB control switch. The EPB control switch can be moved towards two instable positions from a neutral position respectively a brake release position and a brake apply position so as to apply or release the park brake.
