  • Scanning assembly for a detection system
    Patent number: 11307294
    Abstract: A scanning assembly for a detection system for a vehicle has a scanning fixture including a first mirror. The scanning fixture is attached to a first pivot. A reflective surface of the first mirror provides a first field of view between the detection system and a surrounding environment. A central member has a first end attached to the first pivot and a second end attached to a second pivot to couple the first pivot to the second pivot. A base is configured to attach the scanning assembly to the vehicle. The base is further attached to the second pivot. The scanning fixture is coupled to the base exclusively through attachment of the first pivot to the second pivot via the central member, the second pivot in turn being attached to the base.

  • SCANNING ASSEMBLY FOR A DETECTION SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200400789
    Abstract: A scanning assembly for a detection system for a vehicle includes a base, a first and second flexible sheet, and a scanning fixture with a mirror. The scanning fixture is connected to the base via the first flexible sheet and the second flexible sheet. Oscillation of the scanning assembly around a first central axis of the scanning fixture causes each flexible sheet to flex along a length of a plane of said sheet. Oscillation of the scanning assembly around a second central axis of the scanning fixture causes each flexible sheet to flex in torsion along the length of the plane of the sheet.
