Patent number: 11698250Abstract: Vehicle alignment systems and methods are disclosed which operate based on a calculation of “drive direction,” or the direction in which a vehicle is moving. Since a vehicle can be assumed to be a rigid body, each wheel has the same drive direction. Consequently, an alignment parameter of one wheel can be compared to the same parameter of another wheel by equating their drive direction, eliminating the need for the aligner to “see” both sides of the vehicle at the same time. Embodiments include a system having one or more cameras on a fixture carrying a calibration element for an ADAS system, and one or more targets placed on the vehicle to measure the drive direction of the vehicle. The drive direction is assumed to be parallel to the vehicle thrust line and can be used as the line for orientation of the fixture to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Snap-On IncorporatedInventors: Steven W. Rogers, David A. Jackson, Eric R. Sellers, Ronald D. Swayne, James Rodney Harrell, Chance Robinson, Robert J. D'Agostino, Adam C. Brown

Publication number: 20230157869Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: CLEARSIDE BIOMEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Rafael Victor ANDINO, Vladimir Zarnitsyn, Jesse Yoo, Christopher John Brooks, Trent John Kahute, Justin William Arsenault, David Jackson Trettin, Andrew Kent Bauer, Stephanie Elaine Lewis

Patent number: 11650049Abstract: Methods and systems measure a vehicle body parameter; e.g., a wheel alignment parameter such as ride height. Embodiments include a system having a target attachable to a vehicle body, and an image sensor for viewing the target and capturing image data thereof. A processor processes the image data, determines an initial spatial position of the target based on the processed image data, compares the initial spatial position of the target with a reference position, and prompts a user to align the target to an adjusted spatial position when the initial spatial position differs from the reference position more than a threshold amount. The vehicle body parameter value is determined based on the target's adjusted spatial position. In certain embodiments, the adjusted spatial position differs from the reference position by a position error value, and the processor mathematically corrects the vehicle body parameter value based on the position error value.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2020Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Snap-On IncorporatedInventors: Bryan C. Minor, James Rodney Harrell, David A. Jackson, George M. Gill, Brian K. Gray
