Abstract: A scooter (5) comprises a head tube (50); a riser tube (51) freely and rotatably pivoted with the head tube (50), the upper end of the riser tube being provided with a handle (511); a preceding runner (52) provided at the lower end of the riser tube (51); a left carrier (53) and a right carrier (53) both connected to the head tube (50); a left back runner (54) and a right back runner (54) provided at the left carrier (53) and the right carrier (53) respectively, which support the scooter (5) along with the preceding runner (52); the front end of each carrier (53) is provided with a cantilever (533) respectively. The left cantilever (533) and the right cantilever (533) are both provided at the head tube (50) in a suspending form of swinging back and forth freely. Provided between the left cantilever, the right cantilever (533) and the head tube (50) is a holding means (55) enabling the left carrier and the right carrier to perform back and forth alternate swing and displacement action. The scooter (5) is provided with the holding means (55) between the left cantilever, the right cantilever, and the head tube (50). When two feet of the user exert force on the corresponding carrier alternately or two hands exert force on the handle alternately to drive the head tube (50) to swing left and right, by means of the effect of the holding means (55), the left cantilever (533) and the right cantilever (533) will swing back and forth alternately on the head tube (50) and then drives the left carrier (53) and the right carrier (53) to perform alternate back and forth displacement action together, so that the traveling and handling of the scooter (5) is smoother, faster and more labor-saving.

Title: Autonomous vehicle having an external movable shock-absorbing energy dissipation padding
Inventor: GIL THIEBERGER
IPC: G02B30/26
Filed: 2016-12-20
Abstract: An autonomous on-road vehicle includes a window (120, figure 17a) located at eye level of an occupant who sits in a front seat of the vehicle, a reusable nontransparent Shock-Absorbing Energy Dissipation Padding (SAEDP) 121, and a motor (122) that moves the SAEDP over a sliding mechanism 123 between first and second states multiple times without having to be repaired. The vehicle also includes a processor (124) that receives, from an autonomous-driving control system, an indication that a probability of an imminent pedestrian-vehicle collision reaches a threshold, and commands the motor to move the SAEDP from the first state to the second state. In the first state the SAEDP does not block the occupant's eye level frontal view to the outside environment, and in the second state the SAEDP blocks the occupant's eye level frontal view to the outside environment and also absorbs some of the crashing energy transmitted to a pedestrian during a pedestrian-vehicle collision. The SAEDP may be a pneumatic pad or a passive material. A camera and display may be provided so that the occupant may see the outside environment when the SAEDP is in the second state.

Abstract: Measurement data related to an electrical power grid or electrical apparatus is analysed using machine-learning techniques to provide anomalous event detection. Time series data of a parameter is measured from a power grid or apparatus, the data comprising a first set of data points. The time series data is transformed to feature vector format data, where the time series data is grouped into a plurality of datasets, each dataset representing a subset of the first set of data points. A statistical data clustering scheme is performed to generate distinct cluster patterns as clustered data from the feature vector format data, the clustered data comprising a first cluster relating to a first electrical trend and a second cluster relating to a second electrical trend. The clustered data comprises an outlier data pattern that is part of either the first or second cluster, and the outlier data pattern is far from its respective cluster centre. An anomalous event detection is based at least in part on the outlier data.
