A tether kill switch for a motorcycle includes a sensor module and a key. The sensor module is adapted to receive the key and includes a magnetic substrate and at least one sensor. The key is adapted to magnetically couple with the sensor module. A vehicle control system includes a tether kill switch having a sensor module including a magnetic substrate and at least one programmable sensor. A first key and a second key each include at least one unique identifier, wherein the sensor module is adapted to receive either the first key or the second key that are each adapted to magnetically couple with the sensor module. The control system also includes a control unit, wherein the programmable sensor is adapted to identify at least one of the keys by the unique identifier, and send at least one information signal to the control unit based upon the unique identifier.

A battery powered ride-on vehicle is provided that has vehicle body, a plurality of wheels, a battery dock, a battery having battery terminals that mate with battery dock terminals, an accelerator switch and an accelerator switch controller, a power line to allow current to flow between the battery dock and the accelerator switch controller, a plurality of electrical components, an electronics controller in electrical communication with the accelerator switch controller and the electrical components, a power line connecting the electronics controller with the accelerator switch controller to allow current to flow between the accelerator switch controller and the electronics controller, a timer that calculates the time between actuations of the accelerator switch, and when the time between actuations of the accelerator switch is greater than a timer threshold the accelerator switch controller prevents a release of current to the electronics controller until the accelerator switch is actuated again.

A laser machining apparatus comprises a workbench for positioning an object to be machined by laser; a laser emitter configured to emit a laser beam transversely to the workbench; a movement mechanism configured to three-dimensionally move the workbench or the laser emitter reciprocally to each other; a control unit connected to the movement mechanism and/or the laser emitter and configured to generate and send an enabling signal according to operator manipulations on a manipulation element connected to the same control unit. In particular, the control unit comprises a box-like body having a supporting base, a cover panel and elastic return means interposed between the supporting base and the cover panel which are movable reciprocally towards and away from each other between an active condition and an inactive condition.

A brake handle device includes a seat body, a microswitch, a wrench and an elastic piece, wherein the microswitch is electrically connected with a driving motor and a power supply, and includes a main body part and a braking part; the main body part is arranged on the seat body; the braking part extends into the main body part and can elastically expand and contract relative to the main body part; the wrench is rotatably arranged on the seat body and can be abutted against the braking part; and the elastic piece is arranged on the seat body and connected with the wrench. The wrench is held to drive the wrench to rotate in the direction close to a handlebar; and the wrench is released to make the wrench rotate and reset.

A method for triggering self-braking in a motor vehicle, in which following a first collision during an accident a self-braking request signal is transmitted to a brake controller by a collision sensor unit by a communications device of the motor vehicle. The multi-collision braking requested should be initiated in the event of damage to the brake controller that is caused by the first collision. The request signal is received by a control device of the motor vehicle that is disposed at a distance from the brake controller. The control device then determines whether the brake controller responds to the request signal. If no response of the brake controller is detected, the self-braking is initiated by the control device.
