    摘要: The present invention provides systems and methods for testing and storage of information related to a component. A data collection device having a memory is fixedly connected to the component. A test device communicates with the data collection device to store test data concerning the component in the data collection device. The test device also performs analysis of the test data and provides information concerning the health and maintenance history of the component. The present invention also provides systems and methods for determining the current drawn or supplied by electrical components connected in parallel in an electrical system. A current sensor located between the electrical components determines the current supply or draw of one of the electrical components, while a current sensor between the electrical components and the remainder of the electrical system determine a cumulative current draw or supply by both the electrical components.

    摘要: A data communications coupler is provided for communicating data related to various operating conditions of a tractor and/or a trailer. The data communications coupler preferably includes a first coupler portion arranged to connect to a tractor. The first coupler portion has a first lens positioned therein for allowing data communications signals to pass therethrough. A second coupler portion is arranged to connect to a trailer and to connect to the first coupler portion. The second coupler portion has a second lens positioned therein for allowing data communication signals to pass therethrough. A data communicator is positioned in the first and second coupler portions for communicating data between the first and second coupler portions through the first and second lenses. Each of the first and second lenses preferably has a body integrally formed of a translucent material for allowing light to pass therethrough. The body includes an enclosed distal end portion for abuttingly contacting and interfacing with a distal opening of a coupler and a base integrally connected to the distal end portion and arranged for positioning means for data communications therein.

    摘要: A brake condition monitoring system includes a central control receiving signals from each of the several brake actuators mounted on a vehicle. The control receives all of the signals, and sends a single signal to a display in the cab of the vehicle indicative of which of the brake actuators may be evidencing a malfunction. The signals from each brake actuators are unique such that the control can determine which brake actuator each signal is from. The control is also capable of monitoring conditions other than movement of a push rod. The control can ensure that each of the parking brakes have been fully released, the system can monitor the number of actuations for each of the brake actuators, the system can monitor whether a particular brake has been actuated for a long period of time and the system can act as a self check for each of the sensors associated with the brake actuators by monitoring which brake actuators are actuated to ensure that each of the brake actuators sends a signal indicative of an actuation. The invention further anticipates other conditions may be controlled or sensed. In further aspects of this invention, magnets associated with the push rod are mounted within a flexible sleeve mounted on the push rod. Flexible magnets are used. Switches are mounted in the housing of the brake actuators to monitor movement from the magnets. Several embodiments of systems for incorporating the unique controls into a vehicle are disclosed. The control may be mounted within the cab and associated with the display, or it may be mounted onto the body of the vehicle. In either embodiment, it is preferred that only two signal feed lines lead forwardly to the cab.
