148 Electronic device for a vehicle US258091 1994-06-10 US5497143A 1996-03-05 Mitsuaki Matsuo; Yasuo Kuroki; Takashi Kanzaki
An electronic device for a vehicle detects the number of rotations of a wheel of a vehicle, calculates the distance covered by the vehicle, measures the atmospheric pressure to provide data on the atmospheric pressure, obtains a height corresponding to the measured atmospheric pressure from a height-atmospheric pressure conversion table stored in a RAM on the basis of the measured atmospheric pressure data, calculates an tilt of a road where the vehicle travels on the basis of the height and the measured covered distance, detects a gear corresponding to the calculated tilt from a gear change conversion table, drives a transmission to put the gear in the meshed state. In order to apply a barometer to a weather forecast, an actual height where the vehicle travels is calculated on the basis of data on a tilt of the road measured by an inclinometer attached to the vehicle and the calculated covered distance. A change in the atmospheric pressure due to weather is distinguished from that due to the height to predict weather. The inventive device sets a gear suitable for the road and provides weather prediction, thereby bringing about efficient safe cycling.

Due to the high efficiency of the light emitting diode it will be capable to burn a very long time before the batteries have to be changed and since the light in order to be lighted or unlighted is mounted or demounted possible oxide layers will always be worn away by this motion.
154 Data display instrument for a bicycle US68358 1987-06-29 US4862395A 1989-08-29 Rainer Fey; Gunter Look; Gerhard Dumbser
The data display instrument for a bicycle comprises an LCD field having an analog scale field to display the momentary travelling speed and an analog scale field to display the pedalling speed. The scale fields are automatically switchable to two measuring ranges. Furthermore, two digital numerical fields are provided in which a multiplicity of information concerning the riding situation can be displayed in dependence on the travelling speed. In addition to the momentary speed and the momentary pedalling speed which are displayed in the scale fields, the digital fields will during travel display the distance travelled since a last reset and the average speed. Immediately after the bicycle comes to a standstill, the digital fields will indicate the travelling time since the last reset and the maximum speed. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed during which the bicycle continues to remain immobile, the digital fields will indicate the total distance travelled and the wheel diameter. For switchover between individual operating modes, a single operating key is provided which switches over the operating modes as the result of short or medium or prolonged actuation and which can erase the memories for distance travelled since the last reset, average speed, travelling time since the last reset and maximum speed, or set the instrument to an operating mode for programming the wheel diameter. The data display instrument facilitates reading of the data and so makes a contribution to cycling safety.
