The present invention is an electric mobility vehicle such as a powered knee walker, scooter, bicycle and a multi-passenger vehicle comprising a unique steering column assembly capable of being manually steered also autonomously steered by means of steering actuators. The vehicle user can select a manual drive mode option to operate the vehicle physically or the user can select an autonomous drive mode each mode allows the vehicle to operate more efficiently both indoors and outdoors. The vehicle is configured with a platform for standing, sitting and leaning, and the framework is configured with a front and rear drive system, the front drive system incorporates the steering column and one or more steering actuator which control front and rear propulsion systems. The propulsion includes; a DC powered truck module, a fork module, or a cantilever module, and each respectively comprise a drive motor, brake, sensor and accelerometers for self-balancing control. The steering column controlling system is the main driving force of the vehicle and utilizes wireless interface communication linked to short range proximity sensors including LIDAR or laser sensor unit, cameras, and handlebar throttles comprising grip force sensor to control speed and braking, and other vehicle devices. The steering column and framework contain an array of USB power cabling interconnecting electrical components to an IO communication network and to an electrical control system and battery bank.

In an inverted pendulum vehicle (10) including a vehicle body frame (12) fitted with a saddle (32) at an upper end thereof; a main wheel (40) combining a plurality of free rollers (44) arranged along a circle such that rotational center lines of the free rollers are each directed along a tangential line of the circle, a pair of drive disks (50) each carrying a plurality of free rollers (52) arranged along a circumferential direction and configured to engage the free rollers of the main wheel, and a pair of drive units (72, 86) including a pair of electric motors (68, 82) for individually driving the drive disks under an inverted pendulum control, the two drive units are positioned one behind the other between the saddle and a rotational center line of the main wheel.

Disclosed are a personal mobility and a control method thereof. The personal mobility includes a front body on which a front wheel is installed, and a rear body slidably coupled to the front body in a front-rear direction to enable wheelbase adjustment and on which a rear wheel is installed.

A vehicle includes a main vehicle body, a suspended assembly that supports the main body of the vehicle, a suspension arrangement for connecting the suspended assembly to the main body of the vehicle, and a steering system for steering the suspended assembly. The suspended assembly assisting in providing directional control of the vehicle and stability in a lateral direction relative to a normal straight-ahead direction of travel for the vehicle. The steering system including a first steering arrangement that controls movement of the suspended assembly relative to the main vehicle body such that the suspended assembly pivots about a first steering axis. The steering system further including a second steering arrangement that controls movement of the suspended assembly relative to the main vehicle body such that the suspended assembly pivots about a second steering axis with the second steering axis being different than the first steering axis.

Steering and roll control systems to counteract yaw and/or roll forces during operation of a vehicle having first and second wheeled members coupled together by an articulating joint mechanism that is configured to pivot in a yaw direction and/or a roll direction. The steering assistance systems include a biasing unit configured to apply a counteracting force to bias the first and second wheeled members toward a straight-line arrangement thereof. The roll control systems include an additional biasing unit configured to apply a counteracting force to bias the first and second wheeled members toward a level alignment arrangement of the vehicle.

Composite for the transfer of the heat between the hot and cooled surface, whereby the composite is resistant to high temperatures, includes at least two components, one of the components is produced by longitudinal segments (1) with the melting temperature that is higher than 1300 C. and which are separated from each other by the filling (2) with the higher heat conductivity and thermal expansivity, which is in the direct contact with the cooling medium in the channel (3). Both components are in the direct contact with the hot environment surrounding the composite, whereby the overall surface formed by the segments (1) is 50 to 95% of the overall hot surface of the composite. The longitudinal axis of the segment (1) is primarily oriented in the direction of the shortest line connecting the hot surface with the cooled surface of the composite with the allowed deviation of 45 at maximum, whereby in the direction from the hot to the cooled surface it can cross one boundary between the components at maximum. The material for the segments can be tungsten, preferably tungsten with the admixtures of oxides La.sub.2O.sub.3 and/or Y.sub.2O.sub.3 and/or CeO.sub.2 and/or ThO.sub.2 and/or ZrO.sub.2. The matrix, that is, the filling (2) can be copper or silver or their alloys.
