Patent number: 11933606Abstract: A vehicle wheel alignment system has a plurality of cameras, each camera for viewing a respective target disposed at a respective wheel of the vehicle and capturing image data of the target as the wheel and target are continuously rotated a number of degrees of rotation without a pause. The image data is used to calculate a minimum number of poses of the target of at least one pose for every five degrees of rotation as the wheel and target are continuously rotated the number of degrees of rotation without a pause. At least one of the cameras comprises a data processor for performing the steps of preprocessing the image data, and calculating an alignment parameter for the vehicle based on the preprocessed image data.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Snap-On IncorporatedInventors: Steven W.

Patent number: 11931608Abstract: A system for dispensing flame retardant foam on the exterior of a structure. The structure has an opening that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto the roof. The system includes a foam distribution system having a foam expansion chamber and a roof plenum for delivery through the roof opening. Foam solution and compressed air are combined in a conduit and supplied to the foam expansion chamber. The structure may have at least one wall. In that case, the system may have a wall plenum for delivery of flame retardant foam from the foam expansion chamber through a first wall-associated opening. Each such wall will have an opening associated with the wall that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto that wall.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Emily Margaret Gray, Brian Francisco Shipley, Justin Dax Haslam, Robert Wiseman Simpson, Donnette Moncrief Brown, Eric David Schroeder, Michael J.

Publication number: 20190333274Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implementing an augmented reality display via a head mounted display (HMD) system that indicates areas of a patient's body corresponding to a medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlayed on the actual view of the patient. A real-time image of an area of a patient's body being viewed by a medical professional is captured via the HMD system. One or more body parts of the patient are identified within the real-time image. The one or more identified body parts are correlated with the patient's electronic medical records (EMRs) indicating the medical condition and/or treatments associated with the patient. An augmented reality display is then generated in the HMD system of one or more areas of the patient's body corresponding to the medical condition and/or treatment of the patient overlaying the real-time image of the area of the patient's body.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2018Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventors: Eric W.
