  • Publication number: 20240131946
    Abstract: An Electric Vehicle onboard program feature that provides charge assistance to other EV requiring roadside assistance (EV2EV) called the EV Onboard Charge Distribution System. An EV Owner/Operator who did not make it to the next charging station could implement a smart phone APP and/or other means of implementing the onboard charge to share program menu screen to locate other EV Owner/Operators participants in the program to share their EV driving distance charges. The EV onboard menu called the Charge2Share onboard program feature works hand in hand with a Smart Phone APP and/or others, with the EV Owner/Operator first registering into a website, example www.EVChargetoShare.com, www.evcharge2share.com or a similar website to setup an account. The EVCharge2Share onboard program feature contains a payment system that allows EV Owner/Operator participants to earn some cash and/or credit for their next driving distance charge sharing services.

  • Patent number: 11117451
    Abstract: A motorized vehicle visor system, which expands and contracts about a central body; pitches towards and away from the windshield, and pivot towards the side window of the vehicle about a supporting rod. The visor can truncate to a shorter width and pitch upward at body position trailing the rod pivot motion towards the side of the window of the vehicle. When pivoted to the side window, the visor system expands, contracts, and pitches towards or away from the side window. In a reverse movement, the visor system truncates into a smaller width, pitch upward at body position trailing the rod pivot motion away from the side window, and pivots towards the frontal position along the windshield. The visor panel system, when in non-operation mode, may truncates about its body, rest in a plane position parallel to the roof of the vehicle. The visor panel system can operate manually.

  • Publication number: 20200391579
    Abstract: A motorized vehicle visor is developed with a portion of the visor panel to expand and contract in a vertical motion normal to the round bar shaft that mounts and suspends the visor from the interior of the roof and windshield area of the vehicle, deriving the integrated vehicle visor to take various shape of the width for different functions when operated by a controller and/or manual operation. Within the integrated vehicle visor, there consist two sets of motor, tension adjustment, gears, belt, and gear pulleys drive train system place within two compartments of the visor panels, to motion for contraction or extension of the visor. Another two sets are the direct motor drive system, which system comprises of the motor, gear components and tension adjustment, arranged for direct motor drive system to maneuver about the round bar shaft when an electric signal is given.

  • Patent number: 10857948
    Abstract: A convertible vehicle storage container comprises of a front panel, rear panel, two side panels and a base panel, with the base panel observed in a horizontal plane establishes the structure foundation. The structure is derived with the hinged end of the panels to attach to the edge of the base panel on all four sides; there allows for the four side panels to merge into structure. Handle at the front and rear panel latches and lock into place at vertical edge of the four panels point of contact. A flexible sliding door rest at the bottom of the base panel suspends on two tracks parallel to each other, have the accessible motion along the bottom to rear of the container and along the top edges of the side panels, to enclose the structure when manually assisted. The vehicle storage container is developed to mount on top of any vehicle with a roof rack system, and with the ability to convert into a smaller flat structure when not in use.

  • Patent number: 10380915
    Abstract: The Braille Dot Delivery System is an enhancement design from the Publication No.: US-2012-0295232-A1, which implements the same concept for delivering Braille Dot characters via electronic pulses; the system comprises of the Low Frequency Pulse Output Device Pad [140] and the Computer/Signal Transmitter [200], where the wireless receiving unit receives information from the Computer/Signal Transmitter [200] generates electrical pulse(s) to replicate a Braille dot-like character. The Low Frequency Pulse Output Device Pad [140] contain electrodes in a 3×2 matrix cell; each cell consists of a set of electrodes, one for positive signal and another negative signal or ground; completing the circuit is the electrode gel pad, a medium between the electrode cell insert and human skin surface contact, there delivers an electronic pulse at low applied current.

  • Patent number: 9199506
    Abstract: An improved binder clip embodies a hole-punched feature annex to the clip body is derived to provide a set of wings that meet at the center normal to the pivotal plane. Incisions to each side of the clip bodies, counter folds to take shape, provides for nominal holes to be cut into the center of each wings. A supplementary feature to the grip handle is reshaped to develop the center contour. The grip handles suspends to the hinges of the clip body, at position against the two folded edges of the clip contains center contour feature to propose clearance for any protrusions from the hole-punched annex wings of the clip to pass through. The innovative clip features are developed to assist in storing, organizing, and transporting of documents with stationary devices and posting applications e.g. inside a three-ring binder folder, any ring document holder applications, or hanging temporary documents on a bulletin board, hanging documents on a wall, etc.
