20090045934 | Self-contained turn signal indicator unit - A self-contained turn signal indicator unit for signaling to the hearing impaired driver of a motor vehicle that the vehicle's turn signals are activated. The indicator unit is attached to the cover of the vehicle's steering column and produces a loud audible signal and a light signal when the turn signal lever is moved to the turning position. The circuitry includes a battery, a turn switch activated by movement of the turn signal lever, and a buzzer and a lamp. A volume control, operable by a user, controls the volume of the sound. An optional timed switch for turning off the circuit has a normally closed position and has an open position for a predetermined period of time after the turn switch is closed and remains closed. | 02-19-2009 |
20120119900 | WIRELESS EMERGENCY VEHICLE LIGHT AND SIREN KIT - A wireless system for an emergency vehicle includes at least one siren module, at least one light module, and a remote control in communication with the at least one siren module and the at least one light module. Each of the at least one siren module, at least one light module and remote control are programmable for facilitating selective communication. | 05-17-2012 |
20120206256 | Reverse automatic warning - The Declaration of this Invention has been confirmed on Apr. 24, 2009, and filed on Feb. 20, 2011. | 08-16-2012 |
20140055260 | POLICY-BASED VEHICLE HORN FUNCTIONS - Vehicle horn functions are implemented by deriving a current value associated with a component defined by a policy, retrieving from a data file a volume setting mapped to the current value, and modifying operation of a horn in a vehicle to produce a volume corresponding to the volume setting when an operator of the vehicle activates the horn. | 02-27-2014 |
20140191860 | OPERATION-SOUND GENERATOR - An operation-sound generator which can output an operation-sound similar to a hit-sound of a mechanical relay with sound pressure in which a driver is recognizable is provided. A microcomputer supplies a plurality of first pulse sequences to the buzzer at intervals during a lighting period of turning on the direction indicator lamp or the hazard lamp, each of the first pulse sequences having a pulse number differing from each other, a same pulse width, and a same duty, in an order gradually reducing the pulse number. The pulse number of each of the first pulse sequences is set so that the output of each of the first pulse sequences is finished before stationary vibration of the buzzer is performed. Furthermore, after the output of the first pulse sequence is finished, the microcomputer starts the output of next the first pulse sequence before the vibration of the buzzer is stopped. | 07-10-2014 |
20160104417 | MESSAGING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE - A display such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display may be mounted on a vehicle and controlled by a control device such as a smart phone to present messages, including text and images if desired, on the sign. | 04-14-2016 |
20160185282 | TECHNOLOGIES FOR VEHICLE TURN BLINKER AUDIO AND DISPLAY PROCESSING - A system and method for processing turn signal data for a vehicle. A turning signal module may activate a turn signal for the vehicle, while a turning audio module generates audio indicia in response to the turn signal module activating the turn signal, and a turning display module generates visual indicia in response to the turn signal module activating the turn signal. A processor may receive and process vehicle data to determine a vehicle characteristic, where the processor may be configured to provide modification data to modify one or more audio characteristics of the audio indicia generated by the turning audio module and/or one or more visual characteristics of the visual indicia generated by the turning display module in response to the determined vehicle characteristic. | 06-30-2016 |
