A system, method, and device for operations of an electrically motorized vehicle. The vehicle can utilize an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle. One system includes a server in communication with the device of each of a plurality of electrically motorized wheels, the server operable to track a position of each of the electrically motorized wheels and communicate the position thereof to a transportation network.

An electromechanical locking system includes one or more moveable locking elements and one or more actuators configured to move each of the one or more moveable locking elements between positions. The system includes a receptacle configured to receive a key, a sensor, a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium. The processor causes the sensor to scan the key and detect one or more features of the key, identify a first code that corresponds to the detected features of the key, and apply one or more functions to the first code to yield a second code. The second code includes one or more characters that each character corresponds to one of the plurality of positions. The processor causes the one or more actuators to move the one or more movable locking elements to the positions that correspond to the one or more characters of the second code.

In a vehicular portable device, a display unit is controlled to display an icon representing an instruction to an in-vehicle device when detecting that an acceleration equal to or greater than an activation threshold occurs in the vehicular portable device, a pressing force at an icon selection position, which is a position where the icon is selected by a touch sensor, is detected, and a control signal instructing execution of a command corresponding to the icon being selected is transmitted based on detection of the pressing force in a state where the icon is selected.

A lock device including a keyway sized and configured to receive a key, a sensor assembly including an optical source and a key height sensor, and a controller in communication with the sensor assembly. The optical source is configured to generate an optical signal, and the key height sensor is configured to generate a key height signal in response to receiving the optical signal. The key is configured to interact with the optical signal such that the key height signal varies based upon the height of the key. The controller is configured to generate a key profile based at least in part upon the key height signal, to compare the key profile to authorization data, to select an action based upon the comparing, and to perform the action.

A key holder designed for use with manual key switches affixes a key onto a control box. The key holder includes a rotor housing, a key rotor, and a threaded opening. The key is mounted into the key rotor before being inserted into the control box. Further, the key rotor is rotatably mounted into the rotor housing via the threaded opening. The key rotor includes an interior face, an exterior face, a threaded body, and a key slot. The interior face and exterior face are positioned opposite each other about the threaded body. The key slot traverses through the threaded body. To connect the key rotor to the rotor housing, the threaded body is screwed into the threaded opening. This transforms the rotational motion into the linear motion of the key rotor, which along with the locking feature of the manual key switch, prevents the key from rotating.

The second code includes one or more characters that each character corresponds to one of the plurality of positions. The processor causes the one or more actuators to move the one or more movable locking elements to the positions that correspond to the one or more characters of the second code.

The invention relates to a mixed photonic lock structure having intelligent identification and a method thereof. It comprises a mixed photonic key inserted into a mixed photonic lock body. A power supply unit of the mixed photonic lock body supplies the required power to the mixed photonic lock body and the mixed photonic key. An infrared (IR)-LED in the mixed photonic lock body emits a corresponding signal to an infrared photo detector (IR-PD) in the mixed photonic key. When the comparison conducted by a signal comparison circuit of the mixed photonic key matches, a RGB-LED emits a light signal password to a RGB PD of the mixed photonic lock body to control the lock to unlock after the comparison conducted by a signal comparison circuit of the mixed photonic lock body matches.

A spoke for a wheel can include a first end, a second end, and an attachment section therebetween, the first end and the second end extend at an acute angle with respect to each other, the attachment section including a non-circular portion in cross-section.

A system, method and device for the operation of electrically motorized vehicles that can utilize an electrically motorized wheel to convert a non-motorized wheeled vehicle to an electrically motorized wheeled vehicle. The electrically motorized wheel can include a modular systems package with a motor, power supply, sensor system and control system that is operable to communicate locally and globally via various mobile devices. The control system for a device of an electrically motorized wheel includes an application module operable to execute a control algorithm that manages operation of the device.
