Disclosed embodiments include power machines that provide an electronic tag along mode of operation. A control system is coupled to and selectively provides power to the left and right side tractive elements from the power source. First and second user input devices each provide an actuation signal indicative of manipulation between a neutral state and a forward state. An electronic tag-along input device provides a tag-along activation signal. When each of the first and second user input devices are in the forward state and the electronic tag-along input device provides a tag-along activation signal, a controller maintains power to the left and right side tractive elements when one of the first and second user input devices is in the forward state and the other of the first and second user input devices is the forward or neutral state. |

A combination shift and brake lever arrangement for a bicycle, includes a single lever. A braking arrangement mounts the single lever for movement in a first pivoting direction to perform a braking operation, and a first shifting arrangement mounts the single lever for movement in a second different pivoting direction. A shift control mechanism controls shifting of gears of the bicycle in a first shifting direction upon movement of the single lever in the second pivoting direction. A second shifting arrangement mounts at least a portion of a reverse shifting lever for linear movement in a first linear direction. A reverse control changes over the shift control mechanism to control shifting of the gears of the bicycle in a second opposite shifting direction upon linear movement of the at least a portion of the reverse shifting lever in the first linear direction. |

The invention relates to a rotorcraft cockpit having a left seat and a right seat placed side-by-side, a console extending between the seats, two side sticks, one situated to the right of the right seat and the other situated to the left of the left seat, enabling the pilot to control roll and pitch; a flight control system comprising sensors associated with the side sticks and a computer connected to the sensors serves to convert the orders applied by the pilot to the side sticks into signals for controlling actuators in order to vary roll and pitch; a piloting relationship integrated in the computer stabilizes the response of the rotorcraft in roll and in pitch when a side stick is actuated, and maintains the attitudes in roll and pitch at reference values when neither side stick is actuated. |

An outboard motor has a drive unit and a bracket assembly mounted on an associated watercraft to carry the drive unit. The drive unit has a steering shaft supported by the bracket assembly for pivotal movement about a steering axis that extends generally vertically. An engine of the outboard motor has throttle valves that regulate an amount of air to combustion chambers of the engine. A handle bar extends from the steering shaft. The handle bar includes a throttle valve control grip disposed at an end portion of the handle bar for pivotal movement about an axis of the handle bar. The control grip is connected to the throttle valves to operate the throttle valves. A lock mechanism can inhibit the control grip from rotating. The lock mechanism is positioned at a terminal end of the end portion. |

A method of converting a control set from an identifiable first control pattern configuration to an identifiable second control pattern configuration. The method provides a pair of control assemblies that may be easily rotated from a first position to a second position to accomplish the conversion. Each of the control assemblies include a respective control lever, rocker assembly, and linkage rods. After rotation of the control assemblies, the control levers are interchanged and connected to the opposite control assembly to establish an ergonomic position for the control levers. The method of converting the control set is completed without the need for additional components or complex modifications. |

A multi-axis controller for use as free hand-held joystick is described. The controller includes a handle having an inner surface. Disposed within the handle is a dual shaft having a first arm rotatable about a first axis and a second arm rotatable out a second axis. First and second transducers detect rotation of the first and second arms about the first and second axes, respectively. The first transducer and the first end of the first arm are fixedly attached to the inner surface of the handle. A frame is fixedly attached to the second transducer. When a weight is attached to the frame, it causes the first and second arms to center in the absence of user input. |
