MOTORCYCLE SADDLEBAG SUBWOOFER
20230041938 · 2023-02-09 ·

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a subwoofer housing that may be installed within a motorcycle storage container (also known as a saddlebag). The subwoofer housing may include a subwoofer transducer which when used in conjunction with full range audio transducers within the motorcycle audio system introduces dynamic low frequency harmonics into the overall frequency response. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the subwoofer housing may include an active subwoofer transducer, and a passive radiator transducer, both with downward orientations. The saddlebag including a floor, and one or more air vents in the floor. Sound waves emitted from the active subwoofer transducer and the passive radiator transducer travel through the one or more air vents and reflect in an omni-directional pattern from a road surface to generate greater audible levels of the low frequency sound waves.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGULATING VEHICLE ACCESS
20180009414 · 2018-01-11 ·

A method for regulating vehicle access comprises receiving, from an electronic device of a user, a request to access a vehicle. The vehicle can be disposed at a designated geographic location. Next, geographic information of the user is received from the electronic device. The geographic information is determined with the aid of the electronic device of the user. The user is then provided access to the vehicle if, based on the received geographic information, a geographic location of the user is within a given distance from the designated geographic location of the vehicle.

BICYCLE COMPONENT
20180009496 · 2018-01-11 ·

A bicycle component is provided with a base including a recess, a cover, a protected member that is at least partially arranged in the recess, and an engagement portion. The cover is configured to close the recess. The protected member is at least partially arranged in the recess. The engagement portion is configured separately from the cover and the protected member. The engagement portion is arranged in the recess and engages the cover that covers the recess.

Mounting interfaces, brackets therewith, and methods of manufacturing and usage thereof

This disclosure discloses various brackets with various mounting interfaces for engaging (e.g., mechanically) with various surfaces that are correspondingly configured. For example, one of such brackets can clamp onto a bar (e.g., a handlebar of a vehicle) and then an electronic device (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet, a dedicated navigational unit) can removably secure (e.g., mate) to that bracket. This form of removable securing can be via that bracket having a latch configured to engage a detent of the electronic device (or vice versa) in order to linearly mount the electronic device onto the bracket (or vice versa) and disengage the detent in order rotationally unmount the electronic device from the bracket (or vice versa).

ERGONOMIC BICYCLE HANDLEBAR AND CYCLING SYSTEMS

An ergonomic and aerodynamic bicycle handlebar system having appropriate sweep angles and slope angles, embodiments of which can vary both for the type of application and the width of the bar, provides improved energy efficiency, comfort and increased center of gravity control. Flare angle and drop angle can also be adjusted for particular applications. The handlebar may be made of carbon fiber or other suitable materials. Various alternative embodiments are disclosed for drop handlebars and mountain bike handlebars.
