20100213847 | DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP ACTIVATION CONTROL METHODS AND APPARATUS - Embodiments include lighting systems and methods for controlling the activation of daytime running lamps (DRLs). Embodiments of the method include receiving inputs from one or more on-board subsystems, and when the lighting system is set in an automatic control mode and the headlights are deactivated, selectively activating and deactivating the DRLs based on the inputs. Embodiments of the lighting system include DRLs, headlights, and a processing and control subsystem. The processing and control subsystem is adapted to determine whether a DRL activation criteria is met when the lighting system is set in an automatic control mode, to activate the DRLs when the DRL activation criteria is met and the headlights are deactivated, and to deactivate the DRLs when the DRL activation criteria is not met and the headlights are deactivated. | 08-26-2010 |

20120324946 | Posture Necklace and Method of Maintaining Proper Posture - Disclosed is a posture monitoring neckwear and associated method of maintaining proper posture, wherein the neckwear comprises a frontal necklace portion and a rear extension portion that extends from the posterior of the wearer's neck and along the length of the wearer's back. The frontal necklace portion surrounds the wearer's neck and includes a weighted frontal pendant to counteract movement of the extension portion connection point along the neck posterior. The extension portion comprises an elongated and adorned structure, wherein tactile feedback from the extension along the middle of the wearer's back and movement therefrom alerts the wearer of improper posture or contortion of the spine during movement. The associated method of maintaining and teaching proper posture comprises utilizing an elongated extension from a pendant necklace to monitor and adjust posture based on tactile input received therefrom. | 12-27-2012 |
