Abstract: An improved vehicle wheel alignment system having a voice audio interface. A system controller or central processing unit is configured with software to process voice audio signals received through an interconnected microphone, and to generate voice audio signals for delivery through a speaker, without the need for any preprocessing or intermediate processing by a voice command and speech processing card having a separate speech I/O processor.

Abstract: A wheel alignment adjustment system includes sensing apparatus for sensing alignment characteristics of a vehicle to be aligned, and a memory for storing alignment specifications for a plurality of vehicles and alignment adjustment parts. A fixture is provided to secure the sensing apparatus to a wheel hub of the vehicle upon removal of the vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly, and a logic circuit is provided to determine, from sensed alignment characteristics, and corresponding alignment specifications, an adjustment to alter the vehicle alignment characteristics. A display is also included for displaying to a user a representation of the determined alignment. The fixture is configured for attachment to a vehicle wheel hub following removal of a vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly, and provides a mounting to which a wheel alignment sensor or wheel alignment target may be secured, thereby permitting measurement of the vehicle wheel alignment parameters directly from the position and orientation of the vehicle wheel hub.

Abstract: A wheel alignment system including at least one sensing device for acquiring automotive data, interface circuitry in communication with the sensing device for transferring data representative of automotive data acquired by the sensing device, and a host computer in communication with the interface circuitry for performing a sequence of operations on the data transferred by the interface circuitry. The host computer provides integrated Internet access to allow for transmission to the vehicle wheel alignment system, from a remote server, via the Internet, updated information and software applications and components necessary to accurately diagnose a vehicle, and the return of diagnostic, statistical, and log information associated with the vehicle wheel alignment system. The host computer provides integrated Internet access to allow for transmission of electronic commerce and statistical information, alignment logs, error messages, status messages, or diagnostic information to a remote system, and for the receipt of information including updated software applications, diagnostic commands, and remote information queries therefrom.
