Here's another look:

This one looks a little more up to date... didn't really go through all of it, but the picture from this one is similar to the picture from the previous post, just missing some wheels.
Abstract:
"A class of transportation vehciles for carrying an individual (10) over ground having a surface that may be irregular. Various embodiments have a motorized drive, mounted to the ground-contacting module (6) that causes operation of the vehicle in an operating position that is unstable with respect to tipping when the motorized drive arrangement is not powered. Related methods are provided."
Ok... so a motorized scooter. Seen those before, but never with two wheels on one axle. At first I was wondering how it would balance, but then I remembered that the handicap chair that he came up with was also able to stand on two wheels...
I'd like to see some real photos and videos of this thing operating. From the picture and the abstract, I can't see how this is everything the other articles stated it would be.
