摘要: A sensor calibration tool, in particular for calibrating sensors on a vehicle, includes a vertical rail defining a first axis, and first and second carriage assemblies. The first carriage assembly is supported by the vertical rail, movable along the first axis, and has a horizontal rail defining a second axis transverse to the first axis. The second carriage assembly is supported by the horizontal rail, movable along the second, and has a target mount that releasably supports a calibration target. A calibration tool includes a horizontal rail defining a first axis, a first carriage assembly movable along the first axis, a mounting bar defining a second axis and pivotable about a pivot axis transverse to the first and second axes, and a target mount positioned on the mounting bar. The first carriage assembly and the mounting bar move independently.

摘要: An apparatus, system, and method for calibrating an electromagnetic sensor of a vehicle. Calibration is performed by positioning a calibration apparatus at known positions relative to the electromagnetic sensor of the vehicle, and taking measurements with respect to each known position. The calibration apparatus disclosed herein further comprises adjustable components.

摘要: A system and method for controlling the operations of a vehicle in response to an analysis of the vehicle's status and performance compared to a set of external performance parameters. The vehicle may be operable to adjust its performance in response to the analysis in order to comply with the performance parameters. The vehicle may further be operable to prevent activation or continued operation of one or more components in response to the analysis.

摘要: A service ecosystem for vehicles that includes various components that are connected to a cloud. One or more technicians wearing headsets can be verified and authenticated by the cloud to work on vehicles based on the technician's biometric information and on the vehicle service requested. The service ecosystem may provide instructions to the technicians to perform the vehicle service. The cloud may also provide requested technical service information to the technician and a service advisor and help to load balance technician so that the service can be completed as scheduled.

摘要: Tire bead holding pliers includes a first jaw having a lipped plate configured to engage an outboard side of a wheel rim to locate the pliers, and a second jaw defined by a first and second hook and configured to curve around the wheel rim, move toward the first jaw, and engage an inboard side of the wheel rim as the pliers are tightened. The first hook has a first concave portion facing away from the first jaw and configured to receive a bead. The second hook extends from the first hook opposite the first concave portion, has a second concave portion facing the first jaw, and clamps the wheel rim therebetween. During tire installation or removal, the bead is hooked onto the second jaw, which holds the bead in place during the operation in a hands-free fashion.

摘要: A hand-held electric circuit tester includes a probe. The probe includes a hollow body, a control circuit, a probe member, and a speaker. The probe member is operatively mounted in the hollow body, and is configured to contact a probe location of an electric circuit to be measured and electrically connect the probe location with the control circuit to produce a measurement. The control circuit is configured to generate a voice signal with reference to the measurement of the probe and output the voice signal to the speaker, which is configured to generate a voice output with reference to the voice signal indicative of the measurement. The probe can include a first switch for operating the probe member, a microphone for voice activation, or a second switch for selecting between different voices for the voice output, with the different voices stored in computer-readable memory.

摘要: A system and process are provided that allows a vehicle owner, such as a fleet vehicle company to remotely monitor mileage of its vehicles. This allows the fleet owner to provide timely preventative maintenance on the vehicle based on the vehicle's mileage. Additionally, the process uses the vehicles OBD II system to verify the mileage being reported by the driver in order to prevent fraud related to reporting incorrect mileage.

摘要: A dongle that may be plugged into an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) port of a vehicle and provide notification if a human or animal is left within a parked car. The dongle accesses a first sensor from the vehicle's communication system and a second sensor from within the dongle. If data from the first and second sensors exceeds predetermined threshold values programmed into the dongle's memory, then the dongle sends out a response signal. The response signal may be sent to an owner's cellular phone or to a 911 dispatch center. Additional sensors within the vehicle, or placed within the dongle, may also be used to verify the presence of a human or animal left within the parked vehicle.

摘要: A technique detects an abnormal signal in a compound sampled signal recorded in the time domain. The technique involves dividing the sampled signal recorded in the time domain into sample segments; transforming each of the sample segments from the time domain into the frequency domain to determine transformed segments, each transformed segment having frequency points, each frequency point having an amplitude associated with a certain frequency; for a frequency point in a given transformed segment, determining a ratio by dividing the amplitude of the frequency point by a value indicative of an average of the amplitudes of the frequency points at the same frequency across transformed segments; repeating the determination of a ratio for frequency points in each transformed segment to determine ratios for each transformed segment; repeating the determination of ratios for transformed segments; and using the ratios to detect the abnormal signal in the compound sampled signal.
