International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715700

Abstract:

A proximity sensor device and method is provided that facilitates improved usability. Specifically, the proximity sensor device and method provides the ability for a user to easily select the type of adjustment inputted by the proximity sensor device. In one embodiment, the proximity sensor device includes an adjustment region and one or more start tabs adjacent to the adjustment region. The proximity sensor also includes a processor adapted to indicate adjustment of a first type responsive to sensed object motion originating in a first start tab and continuing in the adjustment region. Thus, a user can cause an adjustment of the first type by introducing an object proximate the first start tab, and moving the object from the first start tab and into the adjustment region.

International Classification:

B60K 16/00
B60L 8/00

US Classification:

180 22

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a vehicle that can be powered via integrated power systems involving human pedaling, electric and solar energy, a wheel drive power transmission system for the vehicle that can also operate in reverse direction, and an integrated solar/electric power system for mobile systems. The unique design for vehicle power transmission systems enables human pedaling and electric motor to power the vehicle independently. The electric motor is powered by batteries charged by either or both household 11.0 VAC plug-in sources and the solar panels integrated to the exterior of the vehicle.

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a global product services electronic laboratory (E-Lab). For example, the E-Lab may be an on-line virtual laboratory for company employees and/or field engineers for learning how to implement new technology products via actual âhands-onâ configurations and troubleshooting. Specifically, the E-Lab of the present embodiment enables an authorized user to utilize a computing device to remotely access the E-Lab via the Internet, a company network or a dial-up connection. Once communicatively coupled to the E-Lab, the user is provided a variety of different topics and categories associated with the products and/or equipment labs currently available within the E-Lab. After selecting one of the topics or categories, the user may be provided more specific information regarding tutorials and/or troubleshooting corresponding to the selected lab equipment. Additionally, the user is able to directly interact with the actual equipment on-line thereby having a âhands-onâ learning experience.
