A mounting assembly for releasably securing a radio handset microphone to a motorcycle handlebar is provided. The mounting assembly includes a bracket element to extend partially around a motorcycle handlebar and a rigid plate extending from the bracket element. The bracket element is adapted to be joined to the motorcycle handlebar such that the bracket element partially surrounds the motorcycle handlebar. The rigid plate includes a mounting surface for mounting a radio handset microphone thereto. The mounting surface generally extends over the handlebar and is easily accessible to the motorcycle occupant. The mounting assembly may be combined with a carrier and a handset adapter to provide a mounting system with a secure landing zone that firmly holds the radio handset microphone in place.

A user interface device for applying control signals to a communication system, comprising: at least one pressure-activated multidirectional tiltable/pushable plate with multiple pressureable areas, wherein each of said pressureable areas activates a corresponding pressure element that is located under said plate, wherein each activation of a specific pressure element defines an action which is respectively performed upon tilting-pressing of said plate towards the location of the respective pressure element.

A mounting bracket plate for a personal electronic device for attaching to a motor vehicle.

A mobile phone holder is disclosed for mounting a mobile phone to the dashboard of a car. This mobile phone holder is integrated into the back of a mobile phone or is attached to the back surface of the mobile phone through adhesive pads, or suction cups, or is incorporated into accessories of mobile phones such as attachable card holding wallets, and etc. One embodiment of this mobile phone holder creates a closed loop around the air vent bars. Hence, shakes of the car will not cause sudden detachment and falling of the phone. In Addition, this mobile phone holder is portable and is carried by the mobile phone. Hence, the user can readily have it upon using a temporary car. Moreover, since this mobile phone holder is not permanently stayed in the car, it is not exposed to extreme temperatures and thus its wear and tear is lower than conventional phone holders. The loop that is formed by this apparatus can also be used for mounting a mobile phone to the handlebar of a shopping cart, the handlebar of a bike, safety belt of a car, a belt loop, belt of a user, strap of a bag, or other accessories of a user. This apparatus can also be used as a general purpose fastener for fastening two or more objects together, hanging objects from a bar. Such general purpose fastener can be used as a toy, strap of a watch, or bracelet as well.

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining abnormal information associated with a vehicle. The systems may perform the methods to obtain real-time information associated with a bicycle and obtain reference information associated with the bicycle. The systems may also perform the methods to determine, based on the real-time information and the reference information, abnormal information associated with the bicycle, and transmit the abnormal information associated with the bicycle.

The invention relates to a control system for a vehicle and to a method for controlling a vehicle using such a control system. The control system has a mobile input and analyzing device, a holding device for the input and analyzing device, and means for actuating electronic components and for detecting state information of the vehicle. The aim of the invention is to maintain low production costs for the control system and to allow a wide use with different vehicles. This is achieved by analyzing the state information obtained by the means and by generating control signals for the electronic components in the mobile input and analyzing device.

A flexible camera device is provided including an elongate flexible member and at least one camera connected to and supported by the elongate flexible member. A recording device is also connected to and supported by the elongate flexible member. The recording device is in electrical communication with the camera(s) for electrically communicating camera recorded images to the recording device. The flexible member may be connected to a variety of different support member to allow hands free recording of different events, as seen from multiple views.

An antenna apparatus is for use in connection with a light and a switch for selectively supplying power to the light through associated wiring. The apparatus comprises a circuit connected between the light and the switch, the circuit including a filter, a decoupling circuit, and an antenna formed at least in part by the wiring associated with the light. The apparatus may be used in connection with a light on a vehicle, such as a brake light for a motorcycle, and may thus be concealed from view. Related methods are also disclosed.

A vehicle includes an in-vehicle device and a speaker array. The in-vehicle device is capable of changing a sound outputted from the speaker array to a sound arriving from a virtual sound source that is set to a predetermined position by use of a sound control portion. The speaker array is configured to be changeable in posture relative to the vehicle and to adjust a position of a virtual sound source relative to the vehicle.
