Inventors:

John Kessler - Columbus OH, US

International Classification:

A44B 9/12

US Classification:

024710000

Abstract:

The safety pin with an arcuate pin bar is formed from pin wire bent in the middle to form a coil having a stationary bar extending from one end of the coil and a pin bar with a pointed end extending from the opposite end of the coil. The pin bar is arcuate, or formed with an arch. The stationary bar has a shield attached thereto, the end of the stationary bar being bent backward or the shield being attached to the end of the stationary bar so that the shield extends at an angle complementary to the curvature of the pin bar. The stationary bar may have a textured or roughened fin formed thereon, and may have linear inner and outer edges, a straight inner edge and convex outer edge, or a concave inner edge and convex outer edge.

International Classification:

H04W 12/08
H04W 4/00
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

A vehicle safety system and method for controlling usage of mobile devices in a vehicle is disclosed that includes determining mobile device location in the vehicle; determining vehicle movement; determining whether device is being used by the driver based on device location; and monitoring or limiting usage of the device based on whether its being used by the driver while the vehicle is moving. An electronic beacon located in the vehicle can be used in determining device location. The method can include monitoring activation and usage of device functionality; maintaining an enforcement list of functionality to be limited when used by the driver; determining if any functionality on the enforcement list is attempting to activate, and if so limiting or disabling activation of that functionality. The method can include generating a device motion/usage profile for the driver while driving, and scoring the driver based on the device motion/usage profile.
