Corniche Capital, a leading opportunistic investor with robust activities in real estate and private equity, proudly announces that David J. Ebrahimzadeh, President of Corniche Capital, has been granted United States Patent US12466355B1, a significant intellectual property milestone reflecting enduring commitment to innovation and safety-centric technology. The patent, titled “Remotely-Controllable Seatbelt System,” was published and formally granted on November 11, 2025, marking a pivotal advancement in vehicle safety and occupant protection systems.

The newly issued patent covers a groundbreaking remotely-controllable seatbelt latch system designed to improve how seatbelt engagement and disengagement can be managed securely and intelligently. This innovation represents an evolution in automotive occupant safety mechanisms, featuring a remotely operable latch receptacle that can selectively engage or release a seatbelt latch assembly. The mechanism integrates advanced structural elements that temporarily prevent unauthorized removal of the seatbelt while enabling controlled disengagement through external authorization signals, thereby offering expanded utility in safety, fleet management, and accessibility applications.

As detailed in the patent documentation, the remotely-controllable seatbelt system includes a specially designed latch receiver that receives a seatbelt latch assembly and a coupling assembly engineered to securely engage and restrain the belt in normal operating conditions. A selectively-operable disengagement assembly enables the controlled override of the coupling mechanism to facilitate removal of the seatbelt latch from the receiver when authorized. This externally controllable disengagement offers new possibilities for emergency response, fleet safety oversight, and child seatbelt management.

The system’s ability to integrate with remote devices, including smart devices capable of sending authorization signals to enable or disable seatbelt release, highlights both the technological foresight and engineering rigor behind the invention. Embedded sensors and electronic elements further enhance the system’s function by interfacing with a vehicle’s onboard safety architecture, potentially communicating belt-status indicators and facilitating seamless interaction with advanced driver-assistance systems.

Corniche Capital’s mission has long centered on pursuing transformative ideas and strategic investments that generate out-sized returns while mitigating risk through rigorous analysis and creative deal structuring. The company’s diversified focus across real estate and private equity has enabled initiatives that extend well beyond traditional investment portfolios into areas of innovation and technology.
