摘要： A system for packing a human-powerable vehicle uses an inner annular module that can be incorporated into a wheel. The inner annular module has a open central region, attachment points for steel spokes in tension that radiate out from the annular module, and a feature to facilitate the detachable attachment of a hub by a user, so that a user detachable hub can be installed in the open central region when the annular module is used as part of a vehicle wheel. Removal of the hub facilitates the placement of the module over the axle of a second wheel. The attachment points for the spokes that radiate outward are in a circular configuration that is concentric with the center of the annular module. The attachment points for the spokes are on two parallel planes.

摘要： A bicycle folding system comprises a front fork with a first steerer for rotating the front fork in a head tube, a second steerer that rotatably attaches to a crown of the front fork, and a clamp module that secures the first steerer in the head tube. The clamp module also detachably attaches to the second steerer, which (a) secures the second steerer in front of and substantially parallel to the first steerer when the bicycle is in a rideable configuration, and (b) detaches to allow rotation of the second steerer when folding the bike. The axis of rotation of the second steerer for the bike folding process is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the first steerer in the front fork.

摘要： A wheel for a bicycle, or other human powerable vehicle, has a hub that includes: (a) an axle for attachment to a bicycle frame; (b) a set of bearings that connect the axle to a rotating sleeve; and (c) at least three connection points fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve. The connection points are used to detachably attach an annular module to the hub using attachment elements that each comprise conical frustum surfaces. The attachment elements are configured to axially press a portion of the hub to a portion of the annular module, as well as radially aligning the hub to the annular module. The annular module also has a set of spoke attachment points configured for tensioned spokes that connect the annular module to a wheel rim. The spoke attachment points are in a circular configuration on two parallel offset planes that are perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rim.

摘要： A bicycle frame system comprises a connection module that rotatably connects a front frame section to a rear frame section. The connection module comprises a hinge section and a clamp section. The hinge section is below the clamp section when the bicycle frame system is in a ridable orientation. The connection module hinge section has a horizontal axis of rotation configured for rotating a front bicycle frame section approximately 180 degrees downwards and rearwards relative to a rear bicycle same frame section to convert the bicycle frame system from a ridable configuration to a folded configuration. The connection module clamp section comprises a front clamp block, a rear clamp block and a fastening device. The fastening device is configured to secure the front clamp block to the rear clamp block when the bicycle frame system is in a ridable configuration. The interface between the front clamp block and the rear clamp block comprises at least one v-shaped feature configured to prevent the front clamp block from moving laterally relative to the rear clamp block when the front clamp block is pressed against the rear clamp block.

摘要： Computer-readable data (150) is imported into a known component such as an electronic spreadsheet program (201), hierarchically structured (203), and saved in comma-separated values (CSV) format (204). The resulting URL link file (111), a web navigation presentation program (110) and an initiating file (109) are made accessible to a web browser (101) to create a web navigation system, making it possible to create an autonomously-alterable navigation web page (127) without the complexity of creating a special-purpose data conversion tool (401) and without the time required to manually re-enter (403) the computer-readable data (150).

摘要： A system and method for packing a human-powerable vehicle uses two frame sections that pivot about a horizontal axis parallel to the central axis of the bottom bracket housing cylinder to convert from a rideable configuration to a packed configuration. The pivot axis for folding the two frame sections is located forward of a main seat tube and above a bottom bracket housing that are permanently and rigidly attached to each other and to rear stays for holding a rear wheel. The bottom of the main seat tube is located forward of the bottom bracket housing on the rear frame section. The front frame section rotates downward and clockwise, when looked at from the starboard side, through a rotation of approximately of about 180 degrees to convert from a rideable configuration to a packed configuration. A detachable connection located above the pivot axis rigidly secures the front frame section to the rear frame section when the frame is in a rideable configuration.

摘要： A system and method for ballistically cutting a multi-link metal chain comprises a chain alignment module that comprises three pins and attaches to the barrel of a firearm. A first pin and a second pin of the module fit on opposite sides of a target link of the chain. A third pin of the alignment module goes through a link adjacent to the target link of the chain. The three pins align the target link so that a bullet exiting the barrel of a firearm impacts a semicircular region of the target link to cause the target link to open.
