  • Patent number: 10246158
    Abstract: Provided is an accessory for a self-balancing board having two lateral foot-deck ends, each being coupled to a motor that drives a wheel in response to its orientation. The foot-deck has at least one sensor that is triggered when a rider is in a riding position thereon. The accessory includes a chassis, at least one travel surface-contacting element, a seat, and an engagement structure that releasably engages the self-balancing board. At least one sensor-triggering element is actuatable between an idle position and a triggering position, wherein the at least one sensor-triggering element triggers the at least one sensor. At least one control member actuates at least one of the engagement structure and the at least one sensor-triggering element to control the orientation of the lateral foot-deck ends. At least one manually actuatable actuator actuates the at least one sensor-triggering element between the idle position and the triggering position.

  • Patent number: 10023259
    Abstract: An accessory for a self-balancing board is provided. The self-balancing board comprises a foot-deck having two lateral foot-deck ends. Each lateral foot-deck end is coupled to a motor that drives a wheel in response to an orientation of the lateral foot-deck end relative to a horizontal plane. The accessory includes a chassis, at least one travel surface-contacting element coupled proximal to a first longitudinal end of the chassis to facilitate travel of the chassis over a travel surface, and a seat coupled to the chassis and configured to support a person.

  • Patent number: 9418802
    Abstract: An automation device to control a pre-existing light switch is described which attaches to the light switch by internal magnets at locations corresponding to the magnetic screw heads of the light switch. This makes installation a simple process requiring no hand tools or electrical connections be made with the light switch. The automation device can be wired or wirelessly controlled and works with both toggle light switches and rocker light switches. Additional functionalities include various timed and automated operations as well as device and user location determinations.
