Bicycle frame lighting system
A bicycle frame lighting system comprising a top light assembly and a bottom light assembly. The top light assembly is assembled to left and right sides of a top tube of a bicycle, wherein the top light assembly includes a pair of top light assembly components that can be detached and re-attached such that top tube is secured between a cavity formed between the top light assembly components. The bottom light assembly is assembled to left and right sides of a bottom tube of the bicycle, wherein the bottom light assembly includes a pair of bottom light assembly components that can be detached and re-attached such that bottom tube is secured between a cavity formed between the bottom light assembly components. The bicycle frame lighting system further comprises a battery housing holding a power source for powering the top light assembly and the bottom light assembly.

Intelligent head-mounted apparatus and control method thereof
An intelligent head-mounted apparatus, including: a head-mounted apparatus body; a communication element operable to receive navigation signals and a locating element operable to determine location information, both of which are disposed on the head-mounted apparatus body; and a controller disposed on the helmet apparatus body and operable to control at least one vibrating element based on the navigation signals and the location information; vibrating elements operable to vibrate under the control of the controller. The user of this apparatus can learn navigation information only by perceiving the vibration without being distracted by observing the navigation information, so that the safety of receiving navigation information during riding is improved. A control method of the intelligent head-mounted apparatus is further provided.
Handlebar Lights with Turn Actuator
A bicycle including a handlebar attached to a frame at substantially a midpoint, a first set of light sources disposed to project light in a first forward direction, said first set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, disposed to project light in a second forward direction said second set of light sources including a fixed light source and a motor-controlled light source, a controller, said controller disposed on the handlebar, said controller coupled to the first set of light sources and the second set of light sources, a rotation sensor operable to sense movement of the handlebar relative to the frame, said rotation sensor coupled to the controller, wherein the motor-controlled light sources move in response to the position of the rotation sensor.
Systems and methods for replicating vehicular illumination
Systems and methods for replicating vehicular illumination are disclosed. According to an aspect, a system includes a detector configured to sense light emitted by a host light of a host vehicle for detecting a lighting state of the host light. The system also includes a communications system configured to communicate the detected lighting state between the host light and the remote light. Further, the system includes a remote light being located on one of the host vehicle and an operator of the host vehicle and configured to replicate the lighting state of the host light.
Bicycle light
A bicycle light for securing to a handlebar or other part of a bike, or to a rider's helmet, has an angled front face that allows use of a single, flat LED circuit board with one or more deep conic or parabolic reflectors positioned in front of the upper part of the board and one or more shallow reflectors in front of the bottom part of the board. This provides for both a spot beam produced by the deep reflector and flood light produced by the shallow reflector, in a compact and efficient assembly. Another important feature of the device is side lighting which can be independently controlled, important in affording the rider side lighting while in street traffic but the option to pulse or switch off the side lighting when riding on a trail.
Light guide assembly for an LCD or the like
An apparatus and method for assembling a display device to which is coupled a light guide that has smooth surfaces for light-transmission and at least one surface that is for light scattering and internal reflection. The method includes depositing a reflective coating on that surface, and installing the display device with coupled light guide in an interior of a meter housing or casing. A portion of the casing interior is filled with a component, such as epoxy, for sealing the case interior to protect the display device and light guide against water and dust penetration. All surfaces of the light guide are protected from direct contact with the epoxy. This approach greatly simplifies the assembly process and yields a robust display that also prevents light leakage from the light guide.
Quick Clip
A quick connect handlebar assembly for a motorcycle is disclosed. The handlebar assembly consists of an elongated handlebar having a plurality of motorcycle control components pre-mounted thereto, including indicator lights, throttle controls, gear change controls, turn signal controls and the like. A riser is mounted to a hub portion of the handlebar assembly which is mountable to the riser mount of the motorcycle by a pair of elongated bolts. A plurality of control cables and wires extend from the various motorcycle control components mounted on the handlebar assembly through the handlebar and out of the hub portion. The handlebar assembly is configured to be quickly attached or removed from the motorcycle by means of the elongated pair of elongated bolts.
