A safety system is provided that will (i) operate automatically, regardless of distraction or error by the driver or the backover victim; (ii) operate unaffected by the blindspots that block the driver's view or background noise that block audible alarms for the driver or the backover victim; (iii) operate through an external activation, intentional or unintentional, by the potential backover victim or passerby; and/or (iv) remove driver discretion by causing the vehicle to stop upon activation of the safety system by the potential backover victim or passerby.

The teaching provided herein are generally directed to compact vehicle drive mechanisms that can be used in the design of a foldable, carry-on vehicle. The compact drive mechanisms presented herein, for example, have contributed to the advent of the compact, carry-on bicycles set-forth in the teachings which include drive-and-steering units and drive-and-chassis units.

A method of using a folding vehicle having a chassis that functions as a protective, carry-on casing is provided. The vehicle has a chassis with a center member, a rotatably-lockable front strut, a rotatably-lockable rear strut, and two pivot points for converting the vehicle from an operational state to a collapsed state; and, a drive member with a crankshaft. The crankshaft and the rotatably-lockable front strut pivot share a central axis of rotation; and, the releasably-lockable front strut and the releasably-lockable rear strut are configured to fold into a complementary relationship in the interior of the channel in the collapsed state. The channel functions as a protective, carry-on case for the folding vehicle in the collapsed state.

The teachings provided herein are generally directed to compact, carry-on vehicles configured to shield a user from the drive mechanism. The vehicles are generally foldable, carry-on vehicles having a chassis that converts to a protective carry-on case for the vehicle. The vehicles are foldable with a drive mechanism that is (i) compact, (ii) at least substantially enclosed, (iii) clean, and (iv) generally shielded from contact by the user in the collapsed configuration.

摘要:
A special safety device prevents two fluid lines from being connected if the fluid in the first line can not be safely received by the second line. The danger of connecting the two lines may be, for example, because the fluid carried by the first line presents a safety hazard if received by the second line, or because the fluid in the first line is at too high a pressure or temperature to be safely received by the second line. The safety device includes first and second cams which are connected to the two lines. The first cam has cam keys in a first pattern which is indicative of characteristics of the fluid transmitted by the first fluid line, while the second cam has cam keys in a second, complimentary pattern which is indicative of characteristics of the fluid which may be safely received by the second fluid line. The first and second cams are positioned with respect to the male and female couplings of the fluid lines such that the male and female couplings can not even be partially engaged unless the first and second patterns match one another in a complimentary manner sufficiently to allow the first and second cams to pass one another.
