    摘要: A vehicle includes a body having a first part and a second part, which is moveably coupled to the first part. The vehicle further includes a pedal assembly having a first component coupled to the first part and a wheel assembly having a second component coupled to the second part. The vehicle further includes an extendable drive shaft having a first member and a second member. The first member is coupled to the first component and the second member is coupled to the second component. The vehicle further includes a locking mechanism having a locking member coupled to the first part and the second part of the body. The locking member, in an unlocked position, unlocks the second part from the first part to allow the second part to move over the first part, which may cause a change in a length of the extendable drive shaft.

    摘要: An accident determination system that determines an occurrence of an accident in a straddle-type vehicle, includes a stop detection unit, an end operation unit and a weight detection unit, a control unit. The stop detection unit detects a vehicle stop of the straddle-type vehicle. The end operation unit receives a driving end operation performed by an occupant. The weight detection unit detects a weight value according to a posture of the occupant. The control unit determines whether the vehicle stop is caused by dismounting based on a detection result of the stop detection unit and an operation result of the end operation unit, and determines an occurrence of an accident based on a detection result of the weight detection unit during the vehicle stop caused by a reason other than dismounting.

    摘要: A communication system for a vehicle comprises a mechanism for sensing a braking of the vehicle and a control device for sending a signal to a headlight activation circuit to modulate the vehicle's headlights based upon the braking of the vehicle. In particular, a headlight of the vehicle is able to be modulated based upon an application of one or both of a front brake and a rear brake. The headlight activation circuit is able to modulate the headlight between an on position and an off position or modulate the headlight between a high beam position and a low beam position. Consequently, the vehicle is better seen as it approaches likely congestion areas such as intersections and slowing or stopped traffic and attempts to enter traffic.

    摘要: A slope sensitive pitch adjustor for a bicycle seat includes a rotatable seat support, a gravity sensor mounted thereto, a means for rotating the rotatable seat support, and an automated controller configured to drive the rotating means in response to an acceleration signal received from the gravity sensor. The automated controller stores data representing an initial condition of a pitch angle of the rotatable seat support with respect to horizontal and executes a control algorithm to maintain the initial condition when the bicycle is ridden over changing gradients.

    摘要: The invention obtains a processing unit and a processing method capable of improving a rider's safety. The invention also obtains an inter-vehicular distance warning system that includes the processing unit. The invention further obtains a motorcycle that includes the inter-vehicular distance warning system.
    A processing unit (20) includes: an acquisition section (21) that acquires environment information corresponding to output of an environment detector (11); a determination section (22) that determines sufficiency or insufficiency of an inter-vehicular distance on the basis of the environment information; and a control section (23) that makes a warning device (30) output a warning in the case where the determination section (22) determines that the inter-vehicular distance is insufficient. During travel of the motorcycle, the acquisition section (21) acquires posture information related to a bank angle of the motorcycle, and the control section (23) changes the warning output by the warning device (30) in accordance with the posture information.
