THORSE

Overcome consumer reluctance to the adoption of self-driving car technology by anthropomorphizing a separate AI-controlled self-driving vehicle which controls the navigation and operation of a connected passenger compartment. Within certain safety parameters, the human occupants would have a residual mechanism for overriding the AI as to the speed and direction of travel.

Triskelion Bicycle Mechanism

PROBLEM/MOTIVE: In Cycling, the Cyclist faces two obstacles:

-there is dead-center at top of pedal-stroke, where Cyclist must apply huge force resulting in negligible torque and

-there is not even slight helping overlapping of pedaling power-periods (when Cyclist produces work), resulting that each single leg has to be so strong to move the bicycle alone.

Unrolled Photo for Piston Wear & Scuffing Studies

It is well known that piston secondary motion affects the dynamics of the piston/ring/liner system in an internal combustion engine. A number of analytical models have been proposed to understand and control its effect on engine noise, engine friction and oil consumption. Also, tightening fuel efficiency and emissions regulations have led to engine downsizing,
