Honda Company is the world leader in the production of cars and motorcycles, for its history, the manufacturer has registered hundreds of patents for inventions , in this article we want to tell you about the latest registered innovations of the company.
"X-ray vision"
Each driver seeks to see everything on the road - cars and pedestrians in the "dead zones", people who suddenly run out onto the road, other obstacles. Due to the peculiarity of the human eye, this is unfortunately not possible, but Honda, in September 2016, patented several ideas that would help the driver.
According to their patent, a car can be equipped with special sensors and sensors that will monitor the “dead zones” and reflect the image on a special display in the car. Sensors will notify the driver in advance of the need to make a maneuver that will help avoid accidents.
"11-speed robotic gearbox with three clutches"
With the development of technology, the gears in cars are becoming more and more, the Honda company has worked hard to create a unique box with three clutches and 11 gears. The authors of this patent claim that such a number of stages will make the switching speeds almost instantaneous and smooth, as this development will be able to reduce the consumption of such expensive fuel today.
"MotorInstructor"
Very interesting and unique development of the company for motorcycle enthusiasts. This development assumes the presence of a personal digital driving instructor in a motorcycle. This "artificial intelligence" will collect statistics on the work of a large number of sensors and sensors mounted on an iron horse, analyze them and provide information to the driver on the go. The assistant will analyze the accelerometer, gyroscope, sensors of the steering angle and angle of the motorcycle, speed sensor and GPS receiver. Additionally, the patented assistant will collect and analyze data on the rider's skill.
The analyzed data will be displayed on a special screen of the motorcycle, and artificial intelligence on the go will tell you how best to behave the pilot.
"The engine with pistons of various sizes."
Of course, today everyone already believes in the future of electric cars and cars powered by hydrogen, but Honda’s specialists never cease to invent and patent innovations for conventional internal combustion engines. The new project of the motor from the company involves the use of pistons of different heights. According to the developers, this engine will be able to change its volume on the go, disabling certain cylinders. If the car is moving steadily, for example, on a country road, cylinders with smaller pistons and, accordingly, with a smaller volume will be included. As soon as the driver has a need to “push up the gas”, more voluminous cylinders with long pistons will start working.
Creating new inventions, utility models and industrial designs must necessarily undergo a patenting procedure. Only obtaining a patent will allow you to become the legal owner of your idea.
