20100085180 | Deceleration Brake Light System - The purpose of the invention is to improve and upgrade the existing automobile brake system. Currently, when a motorist pushes the foot brake in the car to decelerate a Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator mounted on the trunk and in the rear windows of a vehicle lights up to indicate slowing down and stopping. In most vehicle LED systems, the distinction between a deceleration, hard braking, and a stop cannot be indicated or differentiated. The goal of the invention is to create a braking indication system that will demonstrate how fast a car is decelerating with LED arranged in a fashion to turn on proportional to the amount of pressure applied to the brake. Once pressure is applied, the brakes are applied and the brake light will let the vehicle behind know how quickly the vehicle is slowing down by showing an approximation using the LED display. Therefore if a driver is to lightly tap on his brakes, the brake indicator will light a small amount of LED to symbolize slowing down but not stopping. Adversely, if a driver “slams on the brakes,” an additional complete row of brake lights will illuminate to indicate you need to brake hard or consider an evasive action to avoid collision. | 04-08-2010 |

20110260422 | Vehicle Suspension System - A structurally efficient vehicle suspension system capable of being isolated from the main vehicle structure by being housed within a vehicle's wheel thereby reducing risks of injury during a crash and permitting advantageous redesign of suspension geometry. By rotating the suspension link pivot axes approximately 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction when compared with the positioning of traditionally known wishbone suspension systems, the upper and lower suspension links for each vehicle wheel are relocated to run essentially parallel to the axis of travel of that wheel. Consequently, for each wheel the virtual longitudinal link length runs parallel with the axis of travel of the wheel indicated by the arrow and virtual swing axle length runs perpendicularly to virtual longitudinal link length. However, the upper link pivot axis and the lower link pivot axis now run parallel to virtual swing axle and their convergence point defines its length. | 10-27-2011 |
