Abstract: An air condition service machine for charging an air conditioner with refrigerant in a fast-charge mode, the fast-charge mode controlled based upon the changing weight rate of a refrigerant tank providing the supply of refrigerant to the air conditioner. The embodiment may also include a compensation mode to provide greater accuracy of the charge after completion of the fast-charge mode. The rate of refrigerant flow is monitored and an end time as opposed to weight target ends the charge.

Abstract: A clamshell housing includes a first housing part defining having a first interface edge and a first rib that protrudes from the first interface edge, and a second housing part having a second interface edge and a second rib that protrudes from the second interface edge. An elastomeric gasket is interposed between the first interface edge and the second interface edge. The gasket has a first groove configured to receive the first rib and a second groove configured to receive the second rib. The first rib is configured to form a seal with the first groove, and the second rib is configured to form a seal with the second groove.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and a method for measuring tire tread depth. The method includes receiving an image of a tire tread recorded using an image-recording device; analyzing the image of the tire tread captured to determine a tire tread depth; determining a status of the tire tread based on the tire tread depth; altering the image of the tire tread captured based on the determined status; and transmitting the altered image to a mobile device.

Abstract: An optical sensor calibration apparatus in the form of a wheel clamp. The wheel clamp apparatus is configured to determine a center point of a wheel of a vehicle, and to provide a measurement reference with respect to the center point. The measurement reference may be used to position other apparatuses in an optical sensor calibration system configured to calibrate an optical sensor of the vehicle.

Abstract: A diagnostic tool configured to retrieve mode 6 cylinder misfire data from an engine controller using physical addressing of the engine controller. The mode 6 data is retrieved on a continuous and dynamic basis instead of a snapshot. The retrieved mode 6 data may be displayed on a GUI and may also contain other mode 6 data such as throttle position sensor, engine RPM and mass air flow.

Abstract: A system that receives and analyzes a connected vehicle's safety feature activation and the location of activation on a road to determine if a hazard condition exist and providing an alert on a subscriber's vehicle or wireless device. Weather information for the location of the activation, highway engineering information for the location of the activation and other connected vehicles' safety feature activation at the location are also considered in the determination if the hazardous condition exists on the road. The hazardous condition alert can also be sent to the highway transportation department so that the hazardous condition can be mitigated.
