Abstract: A mechanism to secure a closed circuit camera to a vehicle includes a securing mechanism and a locking system, wherein locking the locking system provides power to the camera, allowing it to communicate with a monitor within the vehicle to allow a driver to see the camera's transmissions. The communication includes a synchronization protocol, such as Bluetooth® SSP, that ensures the camera and monitor are communicating exclusively with one another, avoiding cross-talk or other interference from nearby systems. The securing mechanism can take the form of various clamping devices, magnets, suction devices or other appropriate means to secure the assembly to the vehicle.

Abstract: An electric vehicle includes a chassis and a compartment defined by the chassis. A power container houses at least one energy storage/generating device for powering the electric vehicle. The power container is insertable into and removable from the compartment through the left side and the right side of the chassis. A suspension apparatus includes a shaft, a control arm pivotably connected to the shaft, at least one helical torsion spring mounted on the shaft, and a linear actuator. Movement of the linear actuator increases bending stress on the at least one helical torsion spring and urges the control arm downwardly.
