The lighting system can include an inductor module 5320 for powering lights of the illumination ring.

BICYCLE INDICATOR LIGHT
20170203802 · 2017-07-20 ·

A bicycle indicator light includes left and right LEDs provided on a housing and oriented to illuminate an area on a left forward side and an area on a right forward side of the bicycle respectively, and a printed circuit board having a microcontroller unit, a gyro-specific IC and a driver IC. When the gyro-specific IC detects an inclination of the bicycle exceeding a predetermined angle to the left/right from an upright position of the bicycle, the gyro-specific IC sends an inclination signal to the microcontroller unit which directs the driver IC to drive the left/right LED to glow automatically.

Assembly of a light and a watch of a bicycle capable for adjusting angle
20170190371 · 2017-07-06 ·

An assembly of a light and a watch of a bicycle capable for adjusting angle comprises a mount and a light base. One side of the mount is mounted on the bicycle. A display screen is arranged at a top surface of the mount. A control member and a sensing member are arranged in the mount and electrically connected with the display screen. The sensing member is detected a variation of a rider and the bicycle to display on the display screen. One side of the light base is pivoted to a front end of the mount and the other end thereof has a light transparent portion. The light base is pivoted, rotated, and slid relative to the mount. The light base is electrically connected with the control member. The control member is for controlling a variation of a light beam of the light base. The mount is mounted on the bicycle so that the rider may see a display on the display screen and it is convenient to provide for lighting.

Systems and Methods for Motorbike Collision Avoidance
20170158118 · 2017-06-08 ·

Described herein are systems and methods for motorbike collision avoidance. One or more sensors or devices can be used to monitor the operating conditions of a motorbike and, upon a determination that a collision or drop has occurred, or is likely to occur, an alert system can be activated. The alert system can comprise one or more auxiliary illumination devices and/or acoustic devices configured to draw the attention of other motorists. The alert system may aid the other motorists in noticing the motorbike and approximating the motorbike's position, size, distance, or speed. The alert system can also be activated by the motorbike rider to communicate to other motorists that the rider believes a collision is possible or that a situation requires caution.

VEHICLE CONSPICUITY/SIGNALING SYSTEM
