MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Jan. 8, 2008 /PR Newswire/ -- The United Kingdom has granted a patent to Canadian inventor Randall Dale Chipkar for his innovative 'electromagnetic shielding motorcycle seat'. The invention is designed to shield motorcycle electromagnetic field radiation from penetrating the rider's vital organs.
"I am grateful to the U.K. for sharing my vision and I appreciate their recognition of this serious health concern for motorcyclists. This is a major step in my quest to protect riders worldwide," Chipkar says.
"Various types of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic field (EMF) radiations have been linked to health disorders including cancer. Many motorcycles generate excessive ELF EMF radiation up through the seat penetrating directly into the rider's groin and torso. The prostate is of major concern as it is one of the closest delicate glands invaded by the radiation. The colon and neighboring organs are also at risk," adds Chipkar.
ELF EMF radiation at close exposure is unnatural and over time could have devastating biological consequences. Major organizations now agree that ELF EMF magnetic fields are a possible carcinogen. People should not have to gamble with their health because they love riding motorcycles. Consumer safety is priority.
"ELF EMF magnetic fields penetrate through steel and even lead. Only highly processed material can dramatically shield us from these cancer controversial forces. With patent protection, we can now aggressively market this innovative shielding seat to provide riders with peace of mind," Chipkar says.
Chipkar adds, " I am now open to licensing or even selling some of my worldwide patents as long as I am assured the seats can reach consumers immediately. Hopefully, this new seat will revolutionize the motorcycle industry to keep riders safer.
"Let's put 'true freedom' back into riding motorcycles!" Chipkar concludes.
Chipkar can be reached through his website at http://www.motorcyclecancer.com where his new book, Motorcycle Cancer?, is also available along with further information.
Buell Motorcycle Company works with thinkID
on innovative 1125R sportbike
design
Milan, February 18, 2008 – Buell Motorcycle Company, a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc., continued its winning ways in the high performance superbike market thanks to the release in November 2007 of the new 1125R, designed with thinkID.
Headquartered in East Troy, Wisconsin, USA, the company has been using think3's thinkdesign (CAD) and thinkteam (PDM) solutions to automate and optimize their product development process since 1998.
For the creation of the new 1125R, Buell extended their partnership with think3 and adopted thinkID, think3's styling solution, which ensures maximum design creativity.
“ We wanted to create a radically new motorbike focusing on power, maneuverability and agility for a unique riding experience,” said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, Buell Motorcycle Company. “thinkID helped us in meeting this challenge. think3's Global Shape Modeling (GSM3) technology allowed us to carry out accurate changes in a quick and automated way, at different stages of the product development process, while preserving the original design intent and reducing production time. With thinkID, we could meet our objectives within the planned timeframe, presenting an innovative sportbike with a unique design that combines an aggressive style with excellent performance.”
The 1125R leads with an all-new front fairing and radiator cowling for superior aerodynamics, and its new 1125cc DOHC V-Twin Helicon engine is the first liquid-cooled engine to power a street-legal Buell motorcycle.
The multi-year cooperation between think3, Inc., and an innovative manufacturer like Buell Motorcycle Company is a testament to the value and innovation provided by think3 's solutions.
