  • Patent number: 5010972
    Abstract: An automotive vehicle having accessories as for example cruise control, transmission torque converter lock-up control, or anti-dive suspension control, has an electrical logic circuit which is effective for applying control type signals to such accessories in response to magnitude of the force applied to the vehicular braking system by the driver; a force sensitive resistor placed in the vehicular braking system is effective to create output signals to the logic circuit which signals are employed by the logic circuit to determine when respective control type signals are to be applied to such accessories.

  • Patent number: 4835515
    Abstract: This invention relates to a signal warning light device designed to be mounted on the roof of an emergency vehicle. Normally this device, in use, would appear to be a frame holding a line of lights across the top of the vehicle. However, at the scene of an emergency, under control of the driver, bars pivoted at the two ends of the frame would be automatically swiveled upward. When raised fully, the bars would appear vertical and with its vertical array of lights woudl provide approaching drivers with an advanced warning. By limiting the movement of one bar to an acute angle and not fully raising the other bar the effect of a pointing arrow or spear head would be obtained. Thus by selectively controlling the bars to be raised, traffic could be directed to proceed left or right or if the both bars were raised partially, signals to stop, slow as well as right and left may be given. Sequential flashing of the bar mounted lights would emphasize the message when directed toward the "point".
